+2 Sex Per Second

"I am the most desired object in South Korea... behind StarCraft II."

For some reason, several blogs have been recently chiming in on how unbelievably attractive Korean pop singer Lee Hyori is. And since I desperately need to be accepted, I think its bandwagon jumping time. Actually, hilariously enough, the first time I noticed her was during her appearance on the telecast of BlizzCon 2007. Of course, in Korea, having uber-hot celebrities host video game conventions is completely normal. Which is about the equivalant of... say, Christina Aguilera or Mandy Moore hosting ComicCon. Which, of course, would inevitably lead to the poor girl in question being torn to pieces by a horde of horny geeks (coincidentally screaming "FOR THE HORDE!" whilst doing it). Ah, Korea. You gotta love a country which is divided into a totalitarian military regime in the North, and a legion of ultra-Americanized StarCraft addicts in the South. Not to mention it is the only country in the world accessible by Deeprun Tram*.

* - Quite possibly the Nerdiest reference yet made on this site. Heh, what do I mean "possibly"?

Pipe Slider... Ha!...juvenile.

Yuko Mizano and Ayako Miyake. Apparently the next step in human evolution is becoming rendered by SquareSoft.

This really isn't current news, but then again what is on this site? I just thought I should note that G4's "Ninja Warrior", and especially its sister show "Women of Ninja Warrior", are a great case argument in the insanity and overall superiority of the Japanese. Sure, we beat them in World War II.... and then they proceeded to show us how capitalism is really done. And technological development. And work ethic. And a the mean average of attractive women in the population. And giant-fighting robots.

...

First off, look at these women above. Granted, their are literally millions of hotter Japanese women. But these two are more than passible, not to mention that they can conquer a 300 yard obstacle course, tough enough to fell Olympians regularly, in under 120 seconds. I'm also fairly certain both can conjure fireballs with the power of their chi.

....

And anyone who is seething to pick apart that assessment of Japanese socio-evolution as being far too generous (whilst waving an American flag and bellowing about the immortality of your Ford pickup, and second mortgage you had to take out just to fill the tank), let me just direct your comments to the aforementioned giant-fighting robot, which will soon take up the Japanese ambassadorial seat to the U.N.

....

Kofi Annan: "I would kindly ask the gentlemen from Japan to please retake his seat!"

Voltron E. Gundam: "And I would kindly ask the secretary general to accept my apology..."

Kofi Annan: "Of course, my good sir---"

Voltron E. Gundam: "....in the form of six thousand rounds of depleted uranium from my fourteen shoulder-mounted gattling guns!"
