Breaking with cultural norms, pornography hits the big screen in Japan. After a landmark legal victory and many waves made, the "Extreme Love" film festival is free to proceed in Japan, showing the uncensored versions of French films such as "Fuck Me" and "A Very Young Girl", although the supreme court ruling and the timing of the Japanese film festival are apparently coincidental.

If it had, the inventors of this new automated snow-shovel that eats snow and shits ice bricks might have thought twice about their design. They even made it look kinda like a cat. What are they going for? Fraidy Cat? I just don't get it.

We're not sure how the thieves planned to launder their booty (...or, leggy?), in fact one police officer hinted that they may have actually stolen the knee in order to bask in its fetid bliss for all Eternity, now that the holy leg is theirs - all theirs!

I mean, that's what I'd do.

From Penis Pills to the Polls

Waffling, undecided and otherwise just kinda limp voters might be pointed firmly in the direction of the Thai presidential candidate handing out viagra in exchange for votes.

If it's not cash is it considered bribery?
