haha, only in Japan

but on a related sidenote my BFF texted me that he finally got his Froyo update for his HTC and couldn't stop playing with it (or himself)

I'm sure they will be very happy together

Wow. I don't know what to say. Do they have special DS consoles with an input jack over there? Nevermind.

[redwatch]

I'm surprised that I haven't heard more about Apples iPhone (and as of today, iPod Touch) with Facetime and online/virtual sex services.

As you said - only in Japan!!

[modelizer]

Only in the land of Love Hotels, Karaoke and Human Tetris! Ahhh, my second home.. Miss it a lot when reminded of it..

[Furu]

Holy s*it! That's just crazy! They never cease to impress me with their craziness...

Watch the video here.

I dig the iPhone app for adding the girl to your photos. (from the video).
