Tokyo Gore Police – Wrist Cutter G commercial

admin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:07:45 +0000

Fake commercial featured in the subway scene of Tokyo Gore Police (Tôkyô zankoku keisatsu). I loved it so much I decided to put it here. I am fully and utterly enamored in the way it is presented, the contrast of promoting suicide with the backdrop of happy-go-lucky fun time Japanese schoolgirls (I know that came out weird, but you know what I mean).

Using wrist cutters.

Bubi bubi

This is just weird. Bubi bubi.

Look, Korea has a unique tech culture unrivaled by anything we’ve experienced in the West. But when Korean carrier KTF coaxes us into a “bubi bubi” dance grind, well, we just have to stare. What is it about a dumbphone that could prompt such behavior? B-U-B-I after the break. (Source: Engadget)

Some of rare and complex Chinese characters

admin — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:53:23 +0000

One of the most complex characters found in modern Chinese dictionaries[48] is 齉 (U+9F49) nàng listen (help·info) (pictured below, middle image), meaning “snuffle” (that is, a pronunciation marred by a blocked nose), with “just” thirty-six strokes. However, this is not in common use. The most complex character that can be input using the Microsoft New Phonetic IME 2002a for Traditional Chinese is 龘 tà “the appearance of a dragon walking”; it is composed of the dragon radical represented three times, for a total of 16 × 3 = 48 strokes. Among the most complex characters in modern dictionaries and also in frequent modern use are 籲 yù (simplified chinese 吁) “to implore”, with 32 strokes; 鬱 yù (simplified chinese 郁): “luxuriant, lush; gloomy”, with 29 strokes, as in 憂鬱 yōuyù (simplified chinese 忧郁)”depressed”, with 15 and 29 strokes, respectively; 豔 yàn (simplified chinese 艳)”colorful”, with 28 strokes; and 釁 xìn (simplified chinese 衅) “quarrel”, with 25 strokes, as in 挑釁 tiǎoxìn “to pick a fight”. Also in occasional modern use is 鱻 xiān “fresh” (variant of 鮮 xiān) with 33 strokes.

In Japanese, an 84-stroke kokuji exists[49]—it is composed of three “cloud” (雲) characters on top of the abovementioned triple “dragon” character (龘). Also meaning “the appearance of a dragon in flight”, it has been pronounced おとど otodo, たいと taito, and だいと daito.

Crayon Shin-chan creator fell during hiking, dies

Shin-chan creator falls to death in mountains

A body found on a mountain in Japan was confirmed as popular cartoonist Yoshito Usui, whose manga and animation series “Crayon Shin-chan” has attracted a worldwide fan base, a report said.

Usui, 51, had been missing for more than a week when a body covered in bruises was found on Saturday by a climber in a mountain range straddling Gunma and Nagano prefectures, Kyodo News agency reported.

The report said his family Sunday confirmed it was the cartoonist and quoted police as saying he may have fallen from a climbing path.

It added there was no sign of a suicide note.

Usui had been missing since September 11 after telling his family at his home in Saitama prefecture, near Tokyo, that he would be hiking on the mountain and would be back by the evening.

When he failed to return his family contacted police.

Usui made his debut as a manga author in 1987 and gained popularity in the 1990s with “Crayon Shin-chan” featuring the daily life of Shinnosuke, a mischievous five-year-old boy. (Source: Hindustan)
