Some of us Americans (myself included) are woefully unaware of who world leaders are. Like, do you know if Japan has a president or a prime minister? Do you know this person's name? (Taro Aso is the prime minister, and yes, I looked it up.) Well, I have another open secret for you. Somewhere in the back streets of Tokyo, there resides an aristo-cat who is really the Furry King of Japan. Here's Read more

I'm not sure if this is a music video or a four-minute ad for canned peaches, but there's enough pink in this video to make Barbie go blind. Read more

Without you we might never get to experience such wonders as a chimp wearing overalls riding a Segway. I love how the chimp takes off on his wheels faster than a restless teenager with a learner's permit. It's five minutes of the same chimpy antics, so watch until you've had your fill. Read more

Just when I start thinking break-dancing is totally cornball, I see an act like this that blows me away. These guys are so good I got the chills! Wooooot! Thanks, College Humor! Read more

We're living in an age that seems frightened — nay, terrified — of crotch hair, or, to put it more delicately, hair on the "bikini area." In the '70s, hairy everything was the rage and now? Nothin'.

Although it looks like Godzilla here, I hear from an aficionado that Ultraman and Godzilla would never fight each other. Me? I just like Ultraman's rad threads Read more

This Japanese "string movie" consists of a bunch of people in black suits with some fluorescent string attached acting out scenes from classic movies. I love the idea that as film technology gets more and more advanced, some people are keeping visual effects low-tech. That's my string theory, anyway. (I know — groan.) Thanks, College Humor!

People putting stuff on cats on Stuff on My Cat, adding captions to their goofy expressions on I Can Haz Cheezburger? and now cats in clothes sitting in bowls. It truly will never end. (And what's up with the sleazy music at the beginning of this vid?!) Thanks, GeekSugar! Read more

Leave it to the Japanese to turn the staid and conservative game of bowling into some show-stopping, lane-jumping razzle-dazzle! (Did that sentence even make sense?) Read more
