One of the first friends I ever made in Korea sent me this cartoon, instructing me to send it to whichever girl I like best. I decided not to send it to the girl I like best because that girl already knows my feelings, and because, well, this cartoon is really quite scary. Isn’t it? And anyway, she’ll see it here. My friend, mj, told me she emailed it to a fellow she calls “White Face Man”, a (Korean, despite the pale face) man who lives in her city and studies English with her. Here is the little horror of …

Hahaha. Hahahaha. Thanks, Adam.

While I’m posting fake funny stuff, here are a couple of “fake advertisements” I used in my graduate thesis. They were stuck into a story. The idea for the first one was stolen from one of Bruce Sterling’s Viridian List posts. The second came from my own twisted mind.

Julie at ill-sorted ephemera provided a link to these goodies, of which there are pages and pages to be seen (link below). What would the Victorians have done with the Internet? The Empire-Wide Interweb, of course, would have had stuff like this floating around, to be sure! See more funny Victorianesque Webdiddling here.

This article in The Onion hits the nail on the head when it comes to boredom flirtation: Sorta-Attractive Girl Half-Heartedly Hit On. It’s a dumb thing to do, but I remember having done it once or twice in the past. And it’s funny, when you put it this way… makes you realize that doing that is such a waste of time. Better to go off and find someone really worth the bother… :)

You can make more things like this here. It’s fun! And thanks for the link, Adam!

You belong in the fashionablecircles of Victorian London where exotictastes, a double life, decadence, wit and ahypocritical belief in moral betterment makeyou a home. You belong where the wittyapothegms of Lords, the silly moralities ofmatrons, the blinding high of opium, and thebeauty of visual arts mingle to form oneconvoluted world.

Okay, so men and women are different. We all know this. Once in a while political issues make us say things like, “We’re really not that different!”, but then scientists come in and pretty succintly inform us that we are different. Our brains are somewhat different, our bodies take slightly different shapes, our drives in many respects are different. And, apparently, this affects how we write. A bit of software out there on the net, called the Gender Genie, can analyse a text and with a pretty impressive degree of accuracy tell you whether the author is male or female. …

At least, that’s what Cunninilingus in North Korea purports to be. It’s not porno, though, rest assured. More like propagandaesque text discoursing on intercourse and communism. I have no idea what it really is, where it’s from, or anything. But there’s more from Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries here. Weird, all of it weird weird weird. Thanks Marvin for the heads-up. By the way, for those of you who are incredulous, one of my female Korean acquaintances online said that the content of Cunninilingus in North Korea isn’t as crazy as it seemed at first, and it’s interesting, if confusing.
