Eat Chinese Boss Noodles Like A Boss
It has been said by many of our readers that China is attempting to overthrow Japan as the world's premiere WTF superpower, and we have just now found more evidence to support that theory. In the very competitive instant noodles market, apparently there is a brand new Cup Noodles challenger from China known as Boss Noodles! And here is a very wacky new demonstration video on how to eat Chinese Boss Noodles like a boss:
After watching the above clip more than a few times now it sounds as though the Chinese narrator is yelling "FFUUUU BITCHES" at the end! Also right when he yells that, the two Asian females grab onto the white guy and start dancing while the "Fast Business" text appears so whaddya think???

Chinese Army Kills Asian Hornets' Nest With Fire
Via SFGate July 31, 2012
A large colony of giant Asian hornets had killed one man and stung many other people in the small town of Tsz Wan Yuen Tsuen in the Jiangin district of China. The hornets have a very painful sting that is about 6mm (1/4 inch) deep and can include a lethal dosage of venom. Authorities tracked down the insect infestation to a single nest in the village. However, the nest was too large and too high above the ground to manually destroy. So the Chinese army brought in a flamethrower and they killed it with fire:

NMA TV On Kim Jong Un's 'New' Wife
The past few weeks or so have been filled with speculation and theories about Kim Jong Un's "mystery woman" and his "new" wife. She was previously misidentified as Hyon Song Wol of the electronic music group Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble which is known for some popular hits including "Excellent Horse-like Lady" and "I Love Pyongyang". However, that rumor was not true as Kim Jong Un Didn't Marry the North Korean Pop Star Behind 'Excellent Horse-Like Lady'.
North Korea's state media announced on July 25th that The Great Eater's wife is actually Comrade Ri Sol-ju who is another popular singer of the DPRK. Apparently, they have been married for three years or so and may have one child. So the mystery of it all continues to be slowly revealed.
Earlier today Next Media Animation TV released this hilarious 3D animation news reel on this puzzle:

John Lennon & George Harrison Japan 1966
Here is a rare photo of John Lennon and George Harrison tuning up their guitars backstage in Tokyo, Japan in 1966. From June 30 to July 2 of that year, the Beatles performed five concerts at the Nippon Budokan indoor arena in Tokyo. Of course, all the shows were sold out and the live television broadcasts captured an incredible 60% audience rating. These concerts were the first musical events ever held at the Budokan arena, which was originally dedicated for the competition of traditional martial arts. These landmark shows also inspired many young Japanese to start playing guitars and the biggest ever Japanese rock band revolution soon followed. That movement forever changed the direction of the Japanese popular music scene.
Perhaps the above photo was taken prior to the start of this show:

Photo of Red Beach Near Panjin City China
Here is a beautiful photo of the Red Beach near Panjin City, China. The beach is part of the Liao River delta about 30 kilometers southwest of the city. The Red Beach gets its name from the seablite plants that start growing green in Spring and gradually turn red and then become a bright vivid red color in Autumn. Most of this beach is closed to the public as it is a part of the Shuangtai Hekou Nature Reserve. Only a small section is open to tourists who visit this popular natural attraction in the Liaoning Province of China.

North Korean Gun Battle Kills General?
Via The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition) July 20, 2012
According to some unconfirmed intelligence reports some 20-30 North Korean soldiers and General Ri Yong-ho were killed in a gun battle in Pyongyang, North Korea. Earlier this week it was reported that the general had been fired by Kim Jong Un. Other reports claimed that Ri resigned because of an "illness." It is believed that the Supreme Leader had ordered Vice Marshal Choe Ryong-hae to physically remove him from office and that is what triggered the fire fight earlier today. It was also reported that there were many previous clashes between Choe and Ri:
A gunbattle broke out when the North Korean regime removed army chief Ri Yong-ho from office, leaving 20 to 30 soldiers dead, according to unconfirmed intelligence reports. Some intelligence analysts believe Ri, who has not been seen since his abrupt sacking earlier this week, was injured or killed in the confrontation. According to government officials here, the gunbattle erupted when Vice Marshal Choe Ryong-hae, the director of the People's Army General Political Bureau, tried to detain Ri in the process of carrying out leader Kim Jong-un's order to sack him. Guards protecting Ri, who is a vice marshal, apparently opened fire. "We cannot rule out the possibility that Ri was injured or even killed in the firefight," said one source. Continued...UPDATE: Source: Kim to reform North Korean economy after purge By Benjamin Kang Lim Reuters 7/20/2012
BEIJING — Impoverished North Korea is gearing up to experiment with agricultural and economic reforms after young leader Kim Jong-un and his powerful uncle purged the country's top general for opposing change, a source with ties to both Pyongyang and Beijing said. The source added that the cabinet had created a special bureau to take control of the decaying economy from the military -- one of the world's largest -- which under Kim's father was given pride of place in running the country. The downfall of Vice Marshal Ri Yong-ho and his allies gives the untested new leader and his uncle Jang Song-thaek, who married into the Kim family dynasty and is widely seen as the real power behind the throne, the mandate to try to save the battered economy and prevent the secretive regime's collapse.
