perverted plastic

I love Japan. I want to go there very soon and immerse myself in the people, the culture, the ambiance, the sights and sounds, and everything I can soak up. I am giving serious thoughts to taking a Japanese language class so I can not only be able to ask for the bathroom when I visit, but also maybe understand even a lick of the video games I keep importing from oversees. Japan is awesome.

That being said, holy mother of god:

When I order things from my favourite source of Japanese things, I usually grab a couple of cheap random toys. I have a soft wet spot for both gashapon (capsule toy, similar to what you buy in vending machines here) and blind box items. With my last order, I picked up something called “D.G.P. Yami no Kanata Non Scale Pre-Painted Gashapon toy” – how bad could it be?

Now I know.

Well then.

*ahem*

Oh dear.

return of the bitter ugly girls [bug]

This is just heartbreaking. On behalf of all girls with chubby faces and uneven teeth who were told “you’re perfect, but ..”, I welcome Yang Peiyi into our ranks and encourage her to continue being awesome. Fuck the pretty girls – they’re a dime a dozen, but real talent is hard to find.

The little girl who starred at the Olympic opening ceremony was miming and only put on stage because the real singer was not considered attractive enough, the show’s musical director has revealed.

I’m a cold, cold person, but my heart just aches for the singer. Can you imagine being chosen over literally billions of others to represent your country on the largest stage on the planet – only to be told that you’re being visually replaced because you’re not pretty enough? What kind of monster would do that to anyone, let alone a 7 year old child? Holy shit. I am beyond disgusted, and perhaps also having flashbacks.

He said the final decision to stage the event with Lin lip-synching to another girl’s voice was taken after a senior member of China’s ruling Communist Party politburo attended a rehearsal.

FUCK those guys.
