Bo Burnham Is Back
With such videos as My Whole Family and My “Little” Secret, Bo Burnham is already a genius in my book. Here’s a few more videos he recently uploaded.
3.14 Apple Pi
All yo little thugs wanna mess me with me?
know that ive been doin drugs since the age of 3.
I took my ceral, stabbed it open with a knife.
Snorted that shit and i got high on Life.
A Love Ballad
Her skin was saggy from her feet to her face,
I put my hand up her skirt…second base!
We made love adn the more i thrust,
the more the room was covered in dust.
The Perfect Woman
Cause Helen Keller was the perfect woman, and no one understands,
just how talented she was with her hands.
God made her the perfect woman, i was the finishing touch.
She was the perfect woman cause she didnt talk so much.
You like? Well then do yourself a favor and also check out his video called “A Day In The Life” to see what it’s like to be Bo Burnham. Hilarity ensues.
The Great Happiness Space: Tale Of An Osaka Love Thief
I don’t have much to say other than: do yourself a favor and go track this interesting documentary down. Well, actually here’s a link to help you along the way.
“The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief,” introduces an extraordinary hidden world of Japanese nightlife in Osaka’s Cafe Rakkyo. The denizens of this glamorous demi-monde, dedicated to partying till they drop, are captured by first time documentary producer/director, Jake Clennell with candid and poignant insight. Presided over by the charismatic, enigmatic Issei, the number one “host boy” in town, the club offers a new twist on the ancient geisha tradition. Glamorous host boys make beautiful young women laugh, feel good about their lives — and pay handsomely for their pleasure. In this secret, outcast society of wealthy young people, money seems to mean easy gratification. But all these stylish players have to pay for their pleasures, and they can cost more than money.
Love In Akihabara
I love Akihabara. I have never been there, but dammit I love it (heck, I even have integrated news from Akihabara News in the sidebar), because it simply looks like geek heaven. Here’s a video of a guy, who’ve obviously trained for ages playing Taiko: Drum Master, getting a pretty girl’s attention, which he doesn’t seem to mind at all (duh!).

Taiko: Drum Master (U.S. title) or Taiko no tatsujin (太鼓の達人; Taiko master) is a drumming game for the arcade and PlayStation 2. A drum simulating the taiko is played in time with music. It is made by Namco, and Japanese and North American versions are available.
Clever T-Shirt
This t-shirt has letters arranged in such a clever way that if you look at it, it spells “Hate”, but if you go take a look in the mirror is spells “Love”.
It can be bought here for men or women: Link
