Because China: Telephone Pole Repair Work

Because China: Telephone Pole Repair Work

Via Daily Guilin This is either an ad for Chinese Duct Tape or this is a photo of actual telephone pole repair work done in Guilin, China. Most likely it was yet another car or truck accident that brought down this pole. Then they just taped it back up with some kind of tape and, obviously, now it's fixed. Why? Because China.

Buy A North Korean Bride Only $50,000!!!

Buy A North Korean Bride Only $50,000!!!

According to the North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity group, businessmen in China and other countries can now legally purchase a young North Korean bride for a mere $50,000! North Korean authorities have recently started to promote these “transnational marriages” between North Korean beauties and elite businessmen of foreign firms to attract foreign investment into North Korea. Previously, such marriages were against the law in the DPRK.

Now they are encouraged. After the foreigner pays the equivalent of US$50,000 to the DPRK Authorities then the Supreme Leader's government will select a young North Korean bride for the foreigner to wed. It seems like a kind of "official" human trafficking system within the North Korean government. South Korean experts have called this new offering a "honey trap" that shows just how desperately poor the Kim regime is now.

But wait there's more! After the foreigner and his new bride are married, the foreigner is then granted the right to do business in North Korea. If no business or no investment is made, then the foreign exec will be required to pay an additional US $1 million.

Most likely, not so many will go for this new deal. But in case any potential buyers want to know more, here is a good sneak peek preview of what to look forward to with North Korea's cheerleader squad known as The Army of Beauties:

WTF Japanese Zombie Face Eater Bento

WTF Japanese Zombie Face Eater Bento

XXX Large Size

Just in time for the coming apocalypse, here is a somewhat frightening photo of a NSFL Japanese Zombie Face Eater Bento lunch box set. You know with a bento like this, no one will ever steal it from the office fridge. Usually, housewives in Japan make bento lunches for their salarymen husbands. And, clearly, this bento was made with a different kind of "love" in mind. Maybe necrophilia? O.o

And when it all goes Mad Max, remember that Japan has the world's greatest zombie fortress! Check it out:

North Korean Anti-Nuclear Postcard 1989

North Korean Anti-Nuclear Postcard 1989

XXX Large Size

Recently discovered in a garage sale in Berlin, here is a very rare and interesting postcard from Pyongyang, North Korea in 1989. At that time, the "Eternal Leader" Kim Il Sung was in charge and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union had just begun. This left North Korea completely on it's own and economic difficulties increased as Kim refused to do any kind of reform. Oddly enough, this postcard is anti-nuclear with the slogan "Do Not Spoil the Blue Sky!" prominently featured against the background of a mushroom cloud. It wasn't until 1994 when the DPRK started nuclear power research and production. The rainbow and white doves also indicate some kind of desire for peace and the multicolored hands show some hope for unity. Most likely the regime was really afraid of being attacked and/or nuked by South Korea at that time.
