Are body pillows going mainstream? Last I saw was the Asami pillow, now it's Becky. It is double sided so you're only paying 4,500円 for each Becky, even less if you pre-order. (Pillow sold separately). Go to the Cospa item page.

Every once in a while a single phrase or image is so hilariously memorable that it takes on a life of its own. Try Googling for "A cat is fine too" to see another recent example. Some people might call that a "meme".
Anyway back on topic, here is a page out of a Fate/Stay Night doujin that has recently been translated. Probably NSFW.
Sauce? I found it in "Platonic Magician H", I think the author was "Hiroyuki".

In the spirit of Moetan it's time once again to study English through manga. This particular gem comes from Pixel Martian. I hope they stock it in my local bookstore…

On TV tonight will be The Omen. It is actually quite a scary movie, and hopefully this means they will screen the next two sequels again.

It appears it's now the school girls who are blackmailing the men. This news item reports on the girls facing punishment, although no word if the man will also be punished.

It's no wonder that the Japanese are researching the giant squid, although I think we already knew about the notorious sex life of giant squid (probably NSFW).

I first saw this reported in Mainichi News, but then saw this much more informative article regarding the notorious used panty trade.
To me it seems pretty obvious that such regulation is a double-edged sword. Read the article for a more informed view.

Just linking this news with the same headline from ABC because it is both amusing and scary.
No Comment.

Ah I had so much fun writing that headline. Really I did.
Anyway the real story is about a Robot from Asahi beer that can pour a beer for you. Gizmodo named it a "Beer Pouring Robot", but I prefer to call it the "Robot Pouring Beer". It is the Robot that's doing the pouring. I think.
I think this is more a novelty than a commercial device as most beer drinkers would be able to pour their own drinks. Although I can see a niche market in those dodgy cafe's where the waitresses have no clue how to pour a beer and end up giving you more head then actual beer :(.
