Sharpie or Skerpie

The Skerpie packaging is so eerily close to the Sharpie packaging, that it leads me to believe that they were made in the same factory…

More Reverse Engrish – Kanji Tattoo

Recently on Japanese television they interviewed a person with a Japanese tattoo in New York, and I thought it was a funny exchange:

spacer

They had him pull up his shirt to show off his “kanji” (Chinese character) tattoo, which says “ronin”.

spacer

Tattoo’d New Yorker:  ”It means a ‘samurai without work’, or a ‘student’, right?”

spacer

Japanese Reporter: “Actually it (commonly) means a student who didn’t pass his entrance exams.”

(In other words, a “student” who has yet to enter college/university – something not to be too proud of…)

spacer

Tattoo’d New Yorker: “Well, that’s cool too…”

Rembo Cologne

Yes, you read it correctly. This is a men’s cologne found in Central Asia.  I can’t imagine what effect it will have on the ladies…

Beauty Smile Trainer

Who can stand that poor smile of yours. Correct your smile with the Beauty Smile Trainer (available at Amazon Japan!).  ”In order to create the perfect smile line, one must work their mimetic muscles upward an additional 30 degrees.”

spacer

All it takes is a 3-5 minute work out twice a day for about 2-3 months. You’ll get there in no time!

Genki Sudo Video

This is currently one of my favorite videos out of Japan from Genki Sudo a former mixed martial artist turned actor, writer and musician. The movements here are not special effects or camera tricks – they are actually moving at this speed…
