Creative Advertising Perfume Plug-in Ad in Japan


While Japan’s robotically hypnotic girl-trio Perfume is making their world debut while keeping their “Japan-ness” with their new album JPN, they’re also still being heavily promoted at home.

Not sure if this has been done before, but this ad in Shibuya for the single Spring of Life plays the video, but if you want to hear the music you’ll have to plug in your own headphones. Pretty decent amount of people doing it too, all plugged into the same wall.

Here's what the ad looks like.

Valeria Lukyanova is the most realistic looking human doll


21-year-old Valeria Lukyanova is an internet sensation in her home country of Russia. Her popularity stems from the fact that she might be the closest anyone’s ever come to looking like a real live Barbie Doll.

Valeria looks very unreal, almost plastic. Her face is expressionless, and her body proportions are quite abnormal. It’s highly unusual to find a woman with a naturally tiny waist, a huge chest and plasticy-looking blond hair. Many speculate that Valeria is either a product of plastic surgery, or her photographs have been doctored by photoshop.

Sriracha Lollipops


We were the kind of kids who would reach for the mystery flavor in a bag of Dum Dums. We wanted some excitement and danger (pineapple) in the lollipop game since we were sweet-toothed youngins. Now that we’re a bit older and marginally more mature, we’ve upped that intensity by purchasing these Sriracha Lollipops. Everyone’s favorite Thai condiment gets the sugar pop treatment from Lollyphile and our slightly singed mouths couldn’t be happier.

Real Life Barbie and Ken


The fact that Hayden Wood spent six years working as a creative retoucher and graphic artist for Ogilvy in New Zealand is evident in his series Living Dolls, which takes a real life man and woman and manipulates them both into waxy-looking plastic people. Gazing into those creepy, dead eyes makes that childhood dream of having your dolls magically spring to life suddenly seem a lot less appealing, right?

A girl without hands wins penmanship award


Annie Clark, 7, a first-grader at Wilson Christian Academy in West Mifflin, is a hard-working and determined student who makes a point of learning from her mistakes and strives for perfection in her work.

So on the surface, it should come as no surprise that she won a national handwriting award from the Zaner-Bloser language arts and reading company. That is, of course, if you didn't know that she was born with no hands.

You would never guess how old she is



With the extensive use of Photoshop and other editing software, it’s extremely difficult to tell the difference between real and fake these days. But if the photographs of this Japanese model are to be believed, then she couldn’t be a day over 20. Believe it or not, Masako Mizutani’s real age is 43, and she’s a mother of two. Her age-defying looks have become a sensation in Japan, especially on TV. She’s being called ‘Japan’s Lady of Eternal Youth’.

Efficient way to keep tracks of your relationships... Spreadsheet


David Merkur has a rather clinical way of keeping track of the women he meets on online dating site, Match.com

The 28-year-old investment banker compiles photos, contact information and progress reports about the women he is seeing into a spreadsheet. They were colour-coded, broken down into "monitor closely" and "monitor casually". Merkur also included an out-of-10 appearance assessment of each woman.

3 Weirdest Egg Dishes


Century Eggs, also known as Preserved Egg or Thousand-Year Egg, is considered a delicacy in China. They are prepared by taking fresh duck, chicken or quail eggs and preserving them for several weeks in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime and rice. The 600-year-old process is said to have been invented when someone came across a few old eggs in a pool of slaked lime. Instead of just tossing them out, they actually tasted the eggs and then made modifications to the recipe. And that’s how modern-day century eggs were born.


Virgin Eggs are eggs that soaked in the urine of young boys from the Zhejiang Province of China. In preparation of these special eggs, young boys are encouraged to ‘donate’ their urine, which is collected by vendors from elementary schools in various cities. So throughout the virgin egg season, boys are encouraged to pee in plastic buckets placed outside the classroom rather than in the toilet. Eggs are then boiled in all the collected urine, with shells cracked so that the flavor can seep through. It takes about a day for the eggs to be ready.


Balut is probably the most repulsive of the three dishes, going by its looks. it’s the fertilized embryo of a duck. The people of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam enjoy the dish and even consider it to be an aphrodisiac, a hearty snack, rich in proteins.
