Britney Spears loses all artistic integrity. Okay, let me start over. Britney Spears fucks Pepsi over to make mega-yen advertising Go Go Tea Soda in Japan.

Japanese porn rice
I suppose the accurate English translation would be Cougar Rice.
Japanprobe reports that a Japanese porn company has just released a “100% adult” rice called “Jukujo Rice,” jukujo being the Japanese word for a Mrs. Robinson-type sexy older woman character in a porn flick.
The rice is produced by Soft On Demand, one of Japan’s biggest porn companies, and it’s packaging says that it is “100% Adult” rice. It looks like you also have to be over 18 to purchase it…
I can see the marketing plan now: somewhere in a tawdry garret apartment an underpaid screenwriter is banging out a sushi delivery boy porn script; the movie will feature Nicolette Sheridan and some overendowed and underdiscriminating Japanese guy yet to be cast. Working title: Special Sauce.
Show me the luv at the Bloggie Awards, people!

pic o’ the day: Giant Pacific Octopus
One of the commenters over on Pharyngula suggests this imade from Speigel is actually a shot of an octopus bringing home groceries, but I prefer the other commenter’s suggestion that the diver is giving some heavy cephalo-oral. Click to enlarge, if you dare! Taken off the Queen Charlottes in BC.
toilet training the singing, dancing, automated Japanese way
Leave it to the Japanese to make a toilet training device with no sense of shame but an overdeveloped sense of theatre and the bizarre. Stolen from JapanProbe, here is the Shimajiro Toilet Training video. Over at JP they have the actual sounds the machine makes as MP3 files as well: if only this little device looked like the Dora the Explorer aquapet, my day would be complete!
Rose Bowl: 200 stormtroopers on parade
And when Darth Vader himself is leading and George Fucking Lucas himself is watching, you’d better believe these amateurs took it very, very seriously.
This year is the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, and to celebrate it a group of fans called the 501st Legion: Vader’s Fist wanted to participate in the annual Rose Bowl parade in their homemade Imperial stormtrooper costumes. Normally, George Lucas is, frankly, a bit of an asshole when it comes to “copyright abuse” and all that, but in this case something got to him (perhaps he has a dog named Max?) and he softened up, allowing them to perform unimpeded, and even helped some of them with their airfare.
After presenting George Lucas with a Stormtrooper helmet autographed by 200 parade-attending 501st members and a personalized 501st Legion letterman jacket, the troops performed a quick series marching routines for Grand Marshal Lucas at the Pasadena training grounds. Satisfied with the presentation, the team of drill instructors (comprised of the Legion’s own experienced members led by Col. Anthony Toledo) released the troops to enjoy a few short hours of “down time” before launching 2007 in Star Wars style. Not only is the new year the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, but also the 10th anniversary of the 501st Legion. Thank you to all of our friends, family and fans who have given the Legion such wonderful support for the past decade! Happy New Year!
Here is the video of the Star Wars section of the parade, including Lucasfilm‘s two floats (note to overseas readers: all the float decorations and colouring in the Rose Bowl parade are made from the petals of real flowers. In a sense, it’s the most biodegradable and ecofriendly parade there is!) featuring boogeying ewoks and the Queen of Naboo, wherever the hell Naboo is. Like you saw the last three films either. Alas, no Chewie.
No, there was no Jar Jar Binks.
