Japanese pop supergroup AKB48 is running something of an interesting promotional deal for a Japanese internet service provider. Sign up with them, and you get access to a web app that allows you to see what kind of babies you could make with one of the group's members. Just upload a picture, pick your favorite singer, and BOOM: A creepy little internet baby of your very own!
This promotional video for the deal is even creepier than what was just typed above:
Parenting is difficult. Parents often don't know what they're doing, so they have to figure it out on the fly. We've all had that moment when your parents find out that you've learned a new swear word, and have to deal with the fallout. Some parents will make you put soap in your mouth. Others will send you to your room. Sometimes they just start swearing too, and that's pretty cool. Often parents try to get creative with their punishments. Some are incredibly effective. Some aren't. Other ones are super creepy and cause lasting psychological damage. Anyway, here are weird punishments.
Halloween is just around the corner, which means we're going to be seeing more parents dressing up their kids in strange and fun ways. We have two examples today: Our very own special little bundle of mutant love here, and this very furry Wicket-looking baby from our friends over at WIN.
In true Henry the 8th fashion, this guy has decided he wants a son to carry on his family name. Judging by some of the criteria here, it looks like the kind of thing an entitled person who makes laughable demands would try to pull off. It's unclear if writing up a big offer full of rules and ultimatums is a good way to carry on one's genes, but hey, most of us haven't tried. Either way, This dude is making some pretty wild promises about his future kid.
Sometimes we discover things that we didn't realize we were passionate about. For example, there's a right and wrong way to eat a burrito, and no one is allowed to argue otherwise. Sure, there are people out there making cursed foods from lucifer's larder all the time, but to go as far as to eat basic stuff the wrong way? That's asking for a fight.
