Japanese truth-in-advertising

Labeled “Japanese girl’s weird dance,” this video is proof of truth-in-advertising.
The video is semi-NSFW if you work for the Mormon Church….

Note that the dance style is from the late 90s/early 90s and the “girl” could easily be well over 30. Also note that the terrible kitchen design in the background is the norm in Japan as is the ridiculous step up into her “unit bath” cum stage door.

The Japanese weather forecasting company Weathernews is deploying nationwide 500 of these “Pollen-Robo”—pollen counting robots to monitor to pollen levels as the allergy season begins in Japan.

robot pollen device

The Weathernews will ask volunteer monitors to place the Pollen-Robo robots outside their dwelling to record in real-time the pollen, temperature, humidity and barometric pressure, which will then be relayed via the Internet back to the Skynet company. To a “benefit” to the volunteer monitors, the Terminators Pollen-Robo will light up through a range of five colors to indicate pollen levels and for added fun it will have two glowing LED eyes.

Google Street View Captures Your Shame*
alleyinsider.com – January 25, 2009 8:48 PM
By now, we all know if you write something embarrassing on the Internet under your own name, it’s your own fault if your missive lives forever on Google’s (GOOG) search engine. But what if you do something embarrassing outside? Should there be a right to protection against Google’s roving cameras, integrated into Google Maps? The residents of 8 Sampsonia Way in Pittsburgh, PA more

These freakaziod pseudo-samurai claim they were doing performance art to, “explore the boundaries between virtual and real worlds.” Ri–i-i-i-ght.

Sadly like most most k-cool products for sale online on Japanese websites, the “Cardbo” cannot be sold and shipped overseas. Meh. Never fear, this cardboard robot is available via preorder at Rinkya.com and will be released December 1st. You can pre-order such items here.
