Hello Kitty: The Funny, The Weird, And The Horrifying

Its really hard to understand that such simple cartoon can grow to such extent. This is a good example that simplicity may be the best beauty.

Thanks to the marketing skills of Japanese company Sanrio, Hello Kitty’s cute-cat character has been going strong for 35 years and has become an internationally-recognized brand. One of the most diverse and unpredictable places in the entire universe, the world of Hello Kitty encompasses a vast collection of strange products that dazzle the mind and serve as material for an extensive list of noteworthy weirdness.

Since there are thousands of Hello Kitty products in just about every category imaginable, it’s difficult to find the weirdest of the weird. Furthermore, many Hello Kitty pictures floating around the Internet are actually photoshopped fakes, so it takes some time to figure out what’s real and what’s not.

The following is a list of examples that appear to be legitimate products. So, hold on to your seats and get ready to be entertained, disturbed, and maybe even sexually abused by one of the world’s most famous felines!

Guns.
Did you think Hello Kitty was too cute for violence? Think again, because with a little effort you could be the proud owner of an assault rifle just like this one.

Anti-virus programs.
Looks like the Hello Kitty brand has been exploited to market someone’s anti-virus program.

Condoms.

Condom holders.
Buy yourself one of those Hello Kitty condoms, and you’ll probably have to spring for one of these lovely condom holders as well.

Tooth caps.

Urinal targets.

Toilet seats.
Girls, please don’t feel left out after seeing that last product. To guarantee your complete urination experience, Hello Kitty also adorns toilet seats.

Electronic toilet paper dispensers.
Here’s yet another one for the bathroom. Talk about an invasion of privacy. Is there nowhere Hello Kitty won’t go? (For those of you who are wondering, yes, Hello Kitty toilet paper is also available.)

Sausage links.
This is just bizarre. Who really wants to see that dancing around on their meat tubes?

Jets.
Taiwanese Eva Air has a Hello Kitty airplane that flies between Taiwan and Japan. The interior decoration is Hello Kitty-themed, of course.

Contacts.
This is similar to those creepy cat-eye contacts people wear during the Halloween season. Although these don’t grab your attention as quickly, once you realize what’s going on, it’s pretty strange.

Wedding dresses.
You’ve got to have a serious crush on Hello Kitty to get married in one of these. What do you think, guys? Sexy, or maybe not so much?

Fake fingernails.
Put these on and spread the Hello Kitty love to everyone around you. It’s like the famous Midas touch, except nothing turns into gold. Instead, people just stare at you with undisguised perplexity.

Bongs.
This is apparently a Hello Kitty coin bank that has been modified for smoking pot. It’s not technically a real product, but hey, it’s pretty hilarious!

Tampons and pads.
Is there a “bodily fluids” theme going on here? Boldly going where few cartoon characters dare to go, Hello Kitty.

Douches.

Vibrators.
Let’s not get into the details here, but you really have to be in love with Hello Kitty to want this one. Also available in black, red, and lavender.

Floggers.
Okay, maybe the vibrators can be tolerated. But floggers? It has finally reached a point where words no longer serve any purpose whatsoever.

House.
What better way to store all your weird and crazy Hello Kitty stuff, than in your Hello Kitty House…

Becks Beer

Corsets

So there you have it. Welcome to the weird world of Hello Kitty!

Flip Hole: Japan's answer for the lazy rich

WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR WORK!AND ONLY FOR MATURED ONES

Found this while reading on some news..Interesting on the creativity of human mind..

The answer for those who wants it but too lazy to get it..Too lazy even with his hands..LOL..The future of masturbation...Enjoy :-)

Given the range of peculiar, often hard-to-explain gadgets coming out of Japan, you can’t help feeling that the country’s inventors may have a little too much time on their hands. If the products of the Tenga Company are anything to go by, they may have a lot more on their hands than just time.

Calling Tenga’s line of products specialized is a bit of an understatement. The company devotes itself to one field of endeavor and one only: the artificial enhancement of male masturbation. To that end, Tenga markets a line of soft, plastic, sheathlike items ideally suited to the man who is too busy, too impatient, too socially retarded, or too funky-smelling to enjoy the comforts of a real, live sex partner.

But if you were thinking that such a monumental contribution to the convenience of modern life would have been enough, you were wrong. The restlessly inventive minds in Tenga’s R&D department had something far more ambitious in mind. They were bent on creating nothing less than the greatest innovation in manly self-abuse since the opposable thumb. And that’s just what they’ve done. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Tenga Flip Hole!

Advertised as “the next step in the future of masturbation,” the Flip Hole pops open like your favorite cellphone, allowing you to coat the soft and squishy interior (textured with all manner of nubs, ribs, and fins) with your choice of lubricant (Mild, Real, or Wild). After that, simply shut the silicone-lined jaws of joy and go for it!

Once the gadget has done its job, the convenient flip-open feature makes thorough cleaning fast and easy—all it takes is a dab of hand soap and a splash of water, and the Flip Hole is as good as new. Afterward, prop it open to air-dry, and faster than you can say, “I’ll never have to interrupt my World of Warcraft playing again,” your instant girlfriend will be ready to administer to all your tension-reducing needs.

The one drawback of the Flip Hole is that its high-tech lining is good for only about 50 rounds.

World Record in Japan: Largest Orgy

WARNING:This post may cause you your job is you are viewing this in the office! If you are going to view it nevertheless, do it wisely!HAHA...Enjoy:-)

Japan has successfully set a new world record. Having 250 men and 250 women who commenced to have sex in the same place at the same time, completing the world biggest orgy ever!

The Orgy was held in a warehouse with a professional camera crew taking pictures and recording the entire event, which was pretty hot and sticky.

Imagine what it must be like to come stumbling across a room filled with 500 people having oral sex and screwing their brains out. Not to bad a way to end your day huh?

It all seemed a little too organized for our personally liking but leave it to the Japanese to accomplish a goal. Especially if it had anything to do with naked women and sex.

Japan’s Most Haunted Places

Some interesting places which you may want to go in Japan if you are a fan of Ghostbusters and Casper..You may bump into some there..Enjoy :-)

The Japanese believe that all humans have a spirit or soul called a reikon. Ghosts are yurei, meaning “faint spirit.”

If a person dies in a sudden or violent manner, the reikon is thought to transform into a yurei, which can then bridge the gap back to the physical world.

The yurei tend to remain near where they died. They usually appear between 2 and 3 a.m., which is like the western world’s bewitching hour of midnight, and a time when the veils between the world of the dead and that of the living are at their thinnest.

Many Japanese ghosts are connected with battlefields and military bases. Here are some to chillingly consider.

Atsugi Naval Base

Located two hours south of Tokyo, Atsugi Naval base has a secret past, which includes the fact that it was a CIA U-2 Base, which housed the U-2 flown over Russia by Gary Powers in the early 1960s. In 1957, Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of John F. Kennedy, was stationed at Atsugi as a Marine radar operator.

The spirit of a young man who wanders aimlessly from room to room is said to haunt the naval base. It is believed that he is the ghost of a young marine who was killed in a car accident back in the 1960s

Atsugi: The Corrosion Hangar Bay

Located on the other side of the naval base, this hangar stands over an older one that was used by the Kamikaze pilots of Imperial Japan. Here, many pilots killed themselves in disgrace after Japan’s final surrender to the allied powers.

It is said that doors slam and disembodied red eyes float about.

Field Hospital- Kanagawa Prefecture

Located on the military base named Sagami Depot, this hospital has been the site of several unexplainable occurrences.

The building is hardly used, but nightly security checks reveal raised windows and locked doors that had been previously unlocked.

Many of the military police who patrol the building have reported hearing someone or something walking around inside.

Iwakuni- Barracks 1687, Room 301

A few years ago, a Marine living in that room committed suicide. He broke the mirror in a fit of drunken rage and slit his wrist with one of the shards of broken glass.

Since then, there have been reports from other soldiers staying in the room that sometimes very late at night when looking into the mirror, the dead marine stares back from somewhere deep inside.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki

It should come as no surprise that these two sites of such terrible tragedy are haunted by the unfortunate souls who perished during the nuclear bomb attacks at the end of World War II.

Ghostly voices are heard at twilight crying and screaming for help.

Okinawa: Camp Hansen- Gate #3

After darkness falls, every weekend a soldier with blood all over his World War II fatigues and a cigarette in his hand would ask the gate guard: “Gotta light?” The MP would oblige and as soon the cigarette was lit, the soldier would disappear.

Whether you believe this or not, gate #3 at Camp Hansen is closed because of this reported haunting.

Tokyo: Akasaka Mansion

Many guests have reported seeing specters standing at the end of their beds, white mists coming in through the air vents and sudden changes of temperature in their rooms.

Some have reported a feeling of someone stroking their heads while they sleep, and one person claimed she was dragged from her bed to the other side of the room and then back again. Scratch marks on her back the next day corroborated her story.

Yokosuka Naval Base: Gridley Tunnel

It is thought that the ghost of this narrow, one-way tunnel that runs through a hill is that of a Samurai warrior who was on his way to avenge the death of his lord when he was ambushed and cut down in the tunnel. Because he failed in his mission, he can’t leave his place of death.

Visions of the samurai as reported by passing motorists have caused several accidents in the tunnel over the years.

Himuro Mansion: Tokyo Outskirts

The basis of the survival horror video game series that deals with ghosts, exorcism, and dark Shinto rituals, “Fatal Frame,” Himuro Mansion was the site of a brutal family murder and sacrifice.

Many weird happenings have been reported in and near the old mansion; including apparitions of those who once lived there, bloody handprints and sprays of blood, which mysteriously appear on the walls.

Sometimes, a small girl in a kimono is seen in one of the windows. To add to the mansion’s mystery, no one knows the significance of the vast tunnels the run underneath.

Yokohama: Ikego-The Middle Gate

The Middle Gate marks the spot where a concentration camp from the World War II era once stood. Here, thousands of Chinese and Korean people were put to work and then killed by the Japanese army. Today it serves as a U.S. military housing base.

There are five incinerators on the premises and three gates that separate it from the Japanese community. At the middle gate, patrol guards have reported hearing voices and footsteps, and have described the feeling of being watched by unseen eyes.

One recurring vision concerns a Japanese soldier from World War II in a brown uniform with no legs floating between the middle and back gates.

These incidents are part of a much bigger picture, as there are many more haunted spots in Japan. Most but not all date back to the era of World War II.

If you plan a visit to one of these spooky places, whatever you do, don’t go alone!

Mummified Japanese Monks Enlightened Through Punishment

Human can really do things in the name of religion..That includes inflicting torture on himself..An example of the danger of misinterpretation of teachings in a religion..Enjoy:-)

More than two dozen mummified Japanese monks who were followers of an ancient sect of Buddhism known as Shugendô, have been discovered in Northern Japan.

Their beliefs were extreme and included the strict denial of any earthly comforts. The process of self-inflicted torture according to them, was the only path to enlightenment.

This practice is more than 1,000 years old and was first executed by a priest named Kuukai, who is considered to be the founder of this extreme and deadly Buddhist scion.

There were three steps in the process that eventually led to eternal mummification, each one harsher than the one before.

Evidence suggests that these priests who lived and died over one thousand years ago, tortured themselves in an attempt to mummify their own remains; a process which took up to ten years and was the result of deliberate self denial.

The first part of the process involved a change of diet; a 1000-day period in which the priest ate only nuts and seeds that could be gathered in the forest surrounding his temple. Physical hardship was deliberately imposed with the goal of reducing the body fat to nearly nothing, allowing for easy decomposition.

Believe it or not, the second 1,000-day stage was even more restrictive. Now the priest could only eat bark and roots from pine trees, a process insured to turn any human being into a walking skeleton and to decrease the amount of body fluids, making preservation even easier.

Then the priest had to ingest a poisonous tea which further reduced body fluids and killed any maggots or insects that tried to eat the priest’s remains after death, (not to mention the priest).

The final 1,000-day period the priest was entombed in a stone room just big enough for a man to sit lotus style. As long as the priest could ring a bell, a tube remained in place to supply air, but when the bell stopped, the tube was removed and the tomb was sealed.

This resulted in some mummification for which the priest was immediately ranked a Buddha, but most of the poor fellows simply rotted away without any rank at all.

Outlawed in the late 19th century, this weird practice continued into the early 20th.

Woman Delivers ‘Stone Baby’ After 60 Year Pregnancy

Just thought of sharing this.. Enjoy..

In a bizarre turn of events straight out of Mr. Ripley’s personal files, comes this true story of a 92-year-old woman who delivered a child (albeit not a live baby) she had been carrying for over half a century! (Long pregnancies are one thing, but THAT is ridiculous!)

Huang Yijun, aged 92, is from southern China and she recently made news after delivering a baby known as a lithopedion, aka ‘Stone Baby’.

Huang Yijun told the press she didn’t have the money to have her fetus removed after doctors told her it had died inside her in 1948.

So she simply did nothing at all about it.

Lithopedion is a very rare medical phenomenon, which occurs when a pregnancy fails and the fetus actually calcifies while still in the mother’s body.

Medically speaking, what often happens is the implanted fetus gets to an advanced stage before it dies. Too large to be absorbed by the body, the remains of the child or its surrounding amniotic sac slowly calcify, turning to stone as a way to protect the woman’s body from infection from the decomposing tissue.

If no complications occur, believe it or not, the mother can basically just go on with her life.

According to the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, only 290 cases of lithopedions have ever been documented by medical literature.

The Story of Faith-the 2 legged dog

If you think you are unfortunate, have a look at this.

IMPORTANT: Know your rights!

Scenario 1~POLICE STOPS YOU



When you are stopped by a police officer who is not in uniform, do ask "Please, show me your Police authority card". Then, note the colour of the card. If it is Red, it means he is a Suspended Police Officer. He has no authority to do anything to you. Walk away. Other colours are 1) Blue : Rank of Inspector and above ;2) Yellow: Bellow the rank of Inspector: and 3) White : Reserve police. Having satisfied of his authority to stop you, take note of his name and ID number. If he is in uniform, note his name and ID number on his uniform. Also take note of the number plate of the Police vehicle either a patrol car or motorcycle.



Scenario 2~ POLICE QUESTION YOU WHEN STOPPED


If you are asked of your identification, ONLY give your name, ID card number and address. However, if the police ask other questions, politely ask "Am I under arrest?". You will be under arrest if he tells you "yes" or does not allow you to leave/want to take you to the Police Station or handcuffs you.

On the other hand, if you are not under arrest, you may walk away/refuse to follow him back to the Police station or anywhere else, if asked. Do note that the police cannot arrest you just because you are a potential witness and want to take a statement from you (112/ Witness Statement)

NB: 112 statement is made under Section 112 of Criminal Procedure Code that reads:-
(1) A police officer making a police investigation under this Chapter may examine orally any person supposed to be acquainted with the facts and circumstances of the case and shall reduce into writing any statement made by the person so examined.

(2) Such person shall be bound to answer all questions relating to the case put to him by that officer:

Provided that such person may refuse to answer any question the answer to which would have a tendency to expose him to a criminal charge or penalty or forfeiture.

(3) A person making a statement under this section shall be legally bound to state the truth, whether or not such statement is made wholly or partly in answer to questions.

(4) A police officer examining a person under subsection (1) shall first inform that person of the provisions of subsections (2) and (3).

(5) A statement made by any person under this section shall, whenever possible, be taken down in writing and signed by the person making it or affixed with his thumb print as the case may be, after it has been read to him in the language in which he made it and after he has been given an opportunity to make any corrections he may wish.

.
Scenario 3~ QUESTIONING BY POLICE WITHOUT ARREST


When the police are investigating a case and think you have information/knowledge about the case, the police may examine you and take down your answers (112/Witness Statement).

Most times, the police make an informal request that you give a 112/Witness Statement. If the place and time is convenient to you, do cooperate. If not, tell the police you will do so at a convenient place. If you completely refuse to cooperate, the police can issue a formal
order in writing, signed by an investigating officer (Police Officer) to ask you to cooperate. Note that if you disobey a Police Order, you cannot be arrested. However, it is an offence and the police may request the Magistrate to issue a warrant against you to compel your cooperation.

When you are giving a 112/Witness Statement, you have the right to ask a lawyer to accompany you. This is highly advisable. In giving a 112/Witness Statement, you may refuse to answer any
question / remain silent if the answer is likely to expose you to a criminal offence.

Useful guidelines to be followed when giving 112/Witness Statement:

• Bring along a notebook or writing paper with you (Personal Notes).
• Write down every question asked in your Personal Notes.
• Make sure you understand every question asked.
• Take your time and think carefully before writing your answers in your Personal Notes.
• Read your answers to the Police Officer questioning you.
• Keep your Personal Notes for future reference.

Then, before signing your 112/Witness Statement read the questions and your answers
written by the Police Officer carefully. Compare the statement you are asked to sign with your Personal Notes.Do note that you have the right to make any corrections/changes to the statement before signing. Having satisfied with your recorded statement, sign your signature immediately below the last sentence of your statement.(That is not to leave any gap in between)

Scenario 4~POLICE ARREST YOU




If you are arrested, ask: “Why am I under arrest?” An arrest is unlawful if you are not informed of the reason. Always remember not to resist an arrest because Police have the right to use reasonable force to arrest you if you resist.

Then ask: “Which Police station are you taking me to?”. The arresting Police Officer must immediately take you to the nearest Police station and no other place.

When you are arrested, you have the right to telephone call to Relatives or Lawyer. You may also call a nearby Legal Aid Centre. If such, inform them that you have been arrested and the Police station you will be taken to.

After arrest, you may be detained up to 24 hours at the Police station, or in a lock-up to “assist” police investigation.

Scenario 5.~ AFTER ARREST & DURING DETENTION (YOUR RIGHTS!)

Scenario 6~ REMAND ORDER BY MAGISTRATE AFTER ARREST

1. Who is a Magistrate

A Magistrate is a judicial officer. He/She has power to make a Remand Order to detain you for more than 24 hours.

2.Purpose of Remand Order

It is to give more time to the Police to complete their investigation and decide whether there is evidence to charge you for an offence.

The Police cannot ask for a Remand Order only for the purpose of taking a statement from you.

3. How long is a Remand Order

When the Police bring you before a Magistrate for a Remand Order, the Police must give reasons to the Magistrate why it is necessary to detain you beyond 24 hours.

The Magistrate’s duty is to consider carefully the reasons given by the Police.The Magistrate may order a Remand detention of between 4 to 7 days.

The Police may return at the expiration of this time period and apply for a 2nd Remand Order. For this 2nd Order, the Magistrate may extend the detention for another 3 to 7 days.

The Magistrate, after careful consideration of the reasons given by the Police, has discretion:
• not to make a Remand Order; or
• make a Remand Order for a period shorter than that asked by the
Police.

The Police can make more than one application for a Remand Order. Altogether, you cannot be detained longer than 15 days.

4 . What to say when you are brought before a Magistrate for remand

beaten;
• if the Police had threatened or beaten you during detention;
• if you had been denied proper food/water/clothing, toilet or necessary medical attention during your detention;
• whether the Police had carried out any investigation during your detention.

5. Ask for a shorter Remand Order from the Magistrate

Before the Magistrate makes the Remand Order, ask for a shorter remand period asked by the Police. Give reasons (Example: “I will cooperate with the Police in their investigation”, “I will be available” etc).

Scenario 7~ BODY SEARCH WITHOUT ARREST

If you are at a place (example: karaoke/clubs/entertainment outlets) where the Police are conducting a raid or looking for something (example: drugs), the Police may search your body/bags without arresting you.

This must be done in the presence of a Police Officer who is an inspector or of a higher rank.

1. What to do?:

• Do not allow the Police officer to put his hands into your pockets
or bags.
• Take out your belongings one by one. Each time, say “Purse”, “keys”,“ID card”, etc.

2. Your rights

• A female can only be body searched by a female Police Officer.
• All body searches must be carried out with decency (Example: cannot touch your private parts).
• There is no law requiring you to strip naked.


Scenario 8~ BODY SEARCH UPON ARREST

Scenario 9~ QUESTIONING BY POLICE AFTER ARREST

When being questioned, note the name/rank of the Police Officer questioning you.

The Police Officer will first make friendly conversation/talk (example: ask you about your family and friends etc). Be polite. Do not be afraid to remain silent. This is your right. Other than giving your Personal Particulars, you have the right to remain silent.

If you choose the right to remain silent, say: “I will answer in Court”.

The Police Officer will ask you questions and then write down your answers. You are only obliged to give your full name, age, address and occupation (Personal Particulars). The Police cannot threaten or force you into making statements.

A Noob..Then, Now and Forever

Whether you believe it or not, the word "noob" is a very special word with various ways of usage and best explains humankind. But one would have to appreciate the origins of the word and how it was used. Noob can be equated with Newbie which in turn came from word New.

Newbie is a slang term for a newcomer to an Internet activity, for example online gaming. It can also be used to indicate an individual inexperienced in any other activity. It can have derogatory connotations, but is also often used for descriptive purposes only, without a value judgment.

Coming from an oral tradition, the term has variant spellings, including "newbee" (e.g. Los Angeles Times of August 1985: "It had to do with newbees. I could be wrong on the spelling, but newbees are the rookies among the Blue Angels...")

Internet usage of the full spelling of "newbie" has not been as widely used as shortened forms. A common variant, usually use more than actual word, is "n00b" or "noob", in many cases a negative term where it degradingly refers to users who disrupt other users. Other spellings include "newb", "nub", "nooblet", "n00blet", or any version of these written in Leet.

~Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbie~

Now that you know what does "noob" mean and how it was being used, lets see how it relates to humankind and how it is widely used especially amongst the younger generation nowadays.

The word "noob" has emerged famous in line with the popularity of computer gaming. Gamers would use the word to bring across a message or to express a point to another gamer that he is not too good in what he is playing or doing. "Noob" becomes a favourite word to replace strong vulgar words like F!@K, @$$, stupid, etc especially during a verbal fight between gamers.

Thus, the gaming world has ever since became more friendly as the word "noob" sounds cute and much polite than other strong vulgar words. Typical usages of the word "noob" are as follows:

"Why are you such a "noob"?"

"Noob leaver!"

"Your mom noob "

"No noobs please.."

"Noob level and items!"

Apart from games, with the fact that gaming has form an important part in today's youth, they have been using the word "noob" in their daily lives. They would address friends as noob, call a bad day a noob day, call a bad meal a noob meal, and so on. It is now used everyday and everywhere! At this rate, it will soon be internationally recognised and included in the dictionary!

As we all know, words can be sharper than a sword. Thus, by using a relatively cute word such as "noob" in expressing one dissatisfaction and anger, the possibility of a communication breakdown is further decreased and therefore on a larger scale, may actually make the world a better place.

People would be more happy, less offended and more forgiving simply because the word "noob" does not bring out the same impact as other strong vulgar words do.

A more significant use of the word "noob" is to explain best about humankind. If you have not realised, all of us are actually noobs who will always be new in something, somehow, somewhere simply because learning is a never ending journey that no matter how hard and how much you try, it is virtually impossible to know and be good in everything in this world. Even for the religious ones, can you really say for sure that you have found your way to God? If the answer is no, you are still a noob. The fact is, humans live to learn while learning to live.

That is why, we are noobs forever. That is why it is alright to be a noob. Being humans, we should not look down on others. We are all learners in this world. You may be good in something, but you can't possibly be good in everything. No one can claim superiority nor be claimed inferior as we are all the same, just noobs trying to understand and know the world ever since then, now and forever.
