Viewer discretion is strongly advised:

Japan's Forever Alone Kissing Poster
Via Diginfo TV April 2, 2012
Remember last year when the development of Japanese Cats Ears For "Communication" aka "Necomimi" was revealed? Or how about Japan's Teledildonic kiss transmission device? Well now Keio University has unveiled a new prototype of their Forever Alone Kissing Poster aka "Pochiter." This interactive poster senses the distance of a person from itself and then reacts with a kiss and then a blush! Check out the below video and remember that this is NOT an April's fools joke:
"The current system only produces visual changes, but we could also include the scent of shampoo from the person's hair, or a lemon-flavored film on the lips, or a speaker that whispers "I love you." People who've tried this system advised us to do those things, so we think there's still plenty to be done. We've learned a lot from talking to users."

Tibetan Jamphel Yeshi Self Immolates in India
Via Huffington Post 03/26/2012
Yesterday in New Dehli, India 26-year-old Tibetan exile Jamphel Yeshi self immolated and ran screaming for about 50 yards as a protest against the Chinese government and President Hu Jintao's upcoming visit to India. After Yeshi collapsed, other anti-China protesters put out the fire with Tibetan flags and water. He was taken to a hospital and is now in critical condition with burns over 98% of his body. Since 2009, there have been 30 similar types of self immolation protests in Tibet and Beijing. Below is a shocking NSFW/NSFL video of this incident:
Jamphel Yeshi runs screaming after he was engulfed in flames by his self immolation protest yesterday March 26, 2012 in India.
UPDATE: In Death, Jamphel Yeshi Has Become the Face of Tibetan Dissent 3-28-12
Jamphel Yeshi, a Tibetan exile who set himself on fire to protest Chinese rule, died from his burns in New Delhi on Wednesday--and has now become the symbol and a martyr for Tibetan suffering. "In the early evening, more than 200 people walked through the town center waving Tibetan flags and carrying banners that proclaimed Jamphel Yeshi, who died on Wednesday, a martyr," reports The New York Times' Edward Wong in Dharamasala, India.

"Speed of Life" by David Bowie & Masayoshi Sukita
Genesis is proud to announce SPEED OF LIFE, the new publication born out of a 40-year collaboration between musician, actor and producer, David Bowie, and photographer and designer, Masayoshi Sukita.
In their fine bound edition, the authors have opened up Sukita's archives to assemble a 300-page photo essay which, captioned with their own recollections and memories, traces the development of Bowie's remarkable career from 1972 to the present day.
Here's an exclusive peek at one of the previously unpublished shots with accompanying caption from Bowie himself...
"So, let’s try a little Kabuki face. Well, it convinces me. With my make-up man Pierre La Roche, and the help of Kabuki star Tamasaburo, I braved the world of Kabuki make-up. The cupid lips made it back to the USA along with cherry coloured cheeks." - BOWIE
