This explains the pencil leads I used to buy when I was a student that proudly proclaimed "100% Pure Pig!" on the box.

I once saw a car model in Japan called a "Bongo Naked".

Couldn't get this out of my head the other day so thought I'd try and infect The Music Police here as well...

Fuck, I feel tense just looking at the preview image for that. It sets off my claustrophobia and I'm not even sure if it's that small a car.

Maybe it could be big with the hipster crowd, though?

I'm very curious about the science of physics and the mechanics of the human anatomy..

Some good data in the following clip :



I reckon the girl at 5:30 has ridden a few bulls before.

More crazy Japanese stuff!



From what I can glean from Google Translate, they seem to be searching for the most marshmallow-ey feel.

They don't move like that when men are riding them. Seedy fuckers.

Some of the... um... products appear to be Japanese sweet bean buns (and for clarity, yes, I mean the bakery items!) so I guess thats what they're going for. One of them may have been a gyoza, essentially a small pasty.

I would just like to point out that having travelled a reasonable amount in Japan, sometimes whole seconds can pass without something bizarre happening... (incidentally, I was once stopped in a street and interviewed by a Japanese T.V. crew, who actually wanted to follow me around for the day - I had to decline as I was meeting friends and I didn't know how they would react to that, and I later found out from them that the programme was quite well known and its title could roughly be translated as "Lets Follow The Foreigner Around For A Day And See What Weird Things He Does!" - which, now I think of it, could be considered payback of a kind for videos like this... Somewhat weirdly, I met the same crew at a train station a couple of days later... ).

"Blast it, Biggs, where are you?!"
