Why is Japanese TV So Awesome?

I rarely recommend watching any 10 minute video in its entirety, but this is a special occasion. They should prescribe this video to people with depression because seeing this ugly little kid freak out at these simple magic tricks is just plain heartwarming.

WTF are they doing to Halo?

Halo just got turned into an Anime?  I am excited and confused but this poster just makes me pissed.  Unless Miyazaki is directing I don’t give a shit.

“The upcoming anime series, Halo: Legends, will be a little…different to what you normally expect from the franchise. That’s what happens when you get people from Japan to work on it. But are you prepared for just how different?”

This Makes Sense: Japanese Pee Silencer Stool Thingy

I share a bathroom with my girlfriend, so this item makes perfect sense to me. I have always hated having to go pee because it’s sooo noisy. Every time I go to tinkle, which I consider a private and personal matter, I know that she is outside the door, listening and judging. “That noisy peer” She is thinking “I fucking hate him”. Now, I can just kneel down, like an idiot, and pee from my knees. Do you hear that? No, you don’t. Silence is golden, a golden shower that is. I love you Pee Without Noise Stool.

Here is what they have to say for themselves:

You could sit, but not only is that unbecoming a man, you also risk splashing the rim. Enter the Pee Without Noise stool. Kneeling on its soft cushions positions you at the exact right height to land your stream in the bowl at a much-reduced velocity and volume level. This simple, elegant tool could save your dignity, your relationship, or even your life (if there’s a robber in the house but you just have to go)!
