I've recently become aware of this chaps existence. His name is Charlie Booker and he was sent here to rock our faces. His unabashed attacks on consumer culture, especially tele, make for enlightening entertainment. I reckon it's kind of like watching nobles being hanged in the middle ages. He writes, draws (cartoons) and does what may be called acting. It is supposed to be 'news' like but really his act cannot be real. He would catch on fire simply from the friction caused due to his perpetual scowling. Anyway you have to see screenwipe, if nothing else he has done. It deals with television and boy does he give a deliciously biased view. His cynicism knows no bounds, which to me makes for the greatest form of entertainment. Enjoy this one.

Canine cruising
Ah my cousing is over in Japan teaching Engrish. He told me to check this out: http://www.suijobus.co.jp/himiko_ship/index.html... yeah pretty cool but what really caught my eye was this: http://www.suijobus.co.jp/event_cru/happy_dog/index.html.
Is it me or are the Japanese that much more in touch with what the everyperson consumer wants? LOL!!! Nothing screams alone and middle aged like taking your dog on a cruise. My god how many people pay for this only to break down halfway though in tears "What am I doing?!". Maybe this is a raquet. I can imagine any proof of one actually attending this event could fetch a nice price when used as blackmail.

Most famous Belgian?!?
Ever heard of 'Plastic Bertrand'? He is a surprisingly famous Belgian singer. I heard one of his songs on the movie '3 Kings' and had to look him up. His story is pretty good! By good I mean it almost warrants a "True Hollywood Story" episode or something.

Crazy Japanese!
I was investigating this crazy thing I heard about in a recent Maxim mag. It was a story about a guy and his time in Japan. He talked about going to a "Sexual harassment club". I had to google this. I found this in the process. Before JoJo there was the "Onyanko Club". Seriously check this out: link
