Odd News: Chikan Subway Gropers Beware!

Posted by | Only In Japan, Random, WTF?! | No Comments

So, Japan (a 143,619 sq mile island) has a huge population of over 125+ million citizens and therefore the country is extremely overcrowded. This overcrowding, apparently, is also ideal for perverts who want to grope women. In Japan, a man who commits such an act is called a chikan, and they tend to perform such acts on the subway trains. I’ve been to Japan twice, and I’ve never noticed anything like it. Apparently, there are message boards where these chikans decide on a time and a place to “mass grope” women. At any rate, Japan Railways has tried to circumvent this problem by making “female only” cars and installing video cameras. Also, Japan is actually considered one of the safest countries. Is this “groping” not a safety concern? WTF!?

YahZarah feat. Foreign Exchange – "Why Don’t You Call Me No More"

Posted by | Music, R&B, UGHH | No Comments

Gotta show some home town love since I grew up in Richmond, VA. YahZarah is an R&B artist from the Virginia/D.C. area who is signed to underground hip hop group Foreign Exchange (Phonte of Little Brother + Nicolay). She started out as a back up singer for Erykah Badu and is currently touring with Foreign Exchange. Nicolay, Phonte, and Jesse Boykins III all make cameo appearances in this video off of YahZarah’s album The Ballad of Purple St. James. I think the song is pretty cool, but I like some of her other records more. Uh… the beginning is an ode to the cartoon Jem if you’re wondering what that is. Shout out to my friend Hannah Wagner for sending this over.

Dallas Austin on MTV Cribs

Dallas Austin’s house was featured on an episode of MTV Cribs a while back – it won’t let me embed the video, so you can watch it on MTV’s website here. I went to Dallas Austin’s house a few years ago with my friends Eric and Nick Vidal (i.e. the Baka Boyz). Let me tell you, Dallas Austin’s house IS as crazy as it looks. The only thing I can remember that I didn’t see in the video is how all the rooms are equipped with XBOX 360s and flat panel screens so you can play multiplayer in any room. Oh, also the elevator is filled with funny mirrors that distort your image… Pretty crazy. This house really looks like a mini-Delano.
