After she said she wants to read them after retirement, book stores and publishing companies quickly sold out of copies.
They’re cute, and they’re pretty, but they’re also tough, and they will make you take no for an answer.
Just another day in the office as our Japanese-language staff prance about the place, jumping other things no-one else can see.
We can’t really blame the doggo for wanting to stay on guard around the walking pincushion.
A new selfie trend taken from a Japanese anime illustration is going viral.
Producers of this North Korean military video were probably aiming for fear but instead delivered a two-and-a-half minute funny.
This incredible new video was released by a Lithuanian-born entrepreneur documenting his mysterious 7-day trip to North Korea.
Exeggutor turns into a tall palm tree for the new Pokémon Sun and Moon games and fans have wasted no time in making fun of him with a slew of hilarious memes!

A video of a female victim slapping the man who assaulted her has blown up over Thai social media, inspiring endlessly creative video parodies in its wake. From Star Wars to Doraemon-themed interpretations, Thai net users are having a field day giving the man a taste of his own medicine!
The Internet has seen some very entertaining music videos in the past few years that some people would call just down-right crazy. Remember when PSY’s “Gangnam Style,” or Ylvis’s “What Does the Fox Say?” first came out? Everyone thought they were nuts, but they went on to become worldwide hits.

But one former Microsoft employee apparently thinks she can buck the trend with her new invention, the “Donut Selfie.”
YouTube videos that rack up millions of views tend to feature either funky music, dancing, or children or animals doing adorable things. These are the kind of links we share again and again, sending to our friends and happily watching multiple times. These two Korean babies rocking out to dance music, therefore, were always going to be the perfect mix for a YouTube hit!
