Thongs of praise: Slip on Japan's skimpy mobe knickers The Japanese adult male is widely considered to be utterly obsessed with young women’s small clothing. While we’d rather not pander to this particular stereotype, we have to admit the Land of the Rising Sun doesn’t do itself any favours. Well, not with products like these coming out of it. Exhibit A is a set of “panties for …
Considering that our cultures are seeming to become more and more homogenised, I for one am glad that there are still places in the world that make me think 'WTF?'. Of course, I mean the 'WTF' of delighting in finding something new and absurd, not the 'WTF' of despair generated by humanity's unending quest to find new and inventively brutal ways of being absolute bellends to one another.
What I'm saying is; Japan, shine on you crazy diamond.
Hadn't heard of those 2, they are ridiculous, especially the Mega.
The idea that anyone who owns a Note feels they can call slightly larger phones "ridiculous" seems pretty hypocritical. I think the Note is ridiculous, but you'd probably tell me "you wouldn't say that if you owned one" or somesuch. Maybe you'd get used to the Mega after using it for a bit.
I continue to find it amusing how phones keep getting bigger, while tablets keep getting smaller. This tells me there's a certain class of buyer who don't want to own both a tablet and a smartphone, but have one device that covers both uses. For that, even the Mega's 6.3" display isn't as large as it could be if you want to maximize its usefulness as a tablet. So don't be surprised if there isn't an even larger Mega II offered down the road.
The characters on the left phone are Mio Akiyama and Ritsu Tainaka from the Japanese manga and anime series K-On!, and the character on the right phone is Utsuho Reiuji from the Touhou Project game franchise. Mio and Ritsu are ordinary schoolgirls with a musical bent, and despite their somewhat sultry appearance in this piece of unofficial fan-art, their adventures are squeaky clean enough to grace Japan's Disney Channel. Utsuho, on the other hand, is a dark creature with huge raven's wings sprouting from her back, and whose job is to regulate the fires of Hell - perhaps this should be telling us something.
