- Some Canadians are none too happy about the $6 billion Samsung deal for alternative energy signed by Ontario, saying the province is seeming like a third-world place.
- Did North Korean guards beat Stupogant 2.0 (i.e., Robert Park) to within 2.54 centimeters of his life? If so, how would we know this for sure? Seems a bit odd that he would get such harsh treatment, while two other Americans determined to embarrass the regime got a stay at the Pyongyang Palazzo and a free ride on Air Force 3.
- I'm not sure who comes out worst in this video posted by Three Alley Pub: the crazy-nutso girl from Hong Kong, or the videographer who followed her and taunted her. I also wonder if the posting of this is in violation of Korea's strict (or draconian, depending on POV) picture-taking regulations.
- Ampontan explores the relationship between Korean and Japanese (the languages, not the people). I still say Nara comes from nara, as the former capital was full of Kudara folks.

- I should translate this and put it up on Korea Beat.
- Donate money to Haiti (this is probably legit, since it was on Conan O'Brien).

- The Los Angeles Times focuses on strained US-China relations since Google's announcement and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's speech (transcript here) touting unrestrained access to information on the Internet.
- Cracked's seven popular chick flicks that secretly hate chicks. Memoirs of a Geisha is on the list. And as a bonus, six movie plots made possible by baffling bad decisions. Cracked isn't as funny as it once was, but this new "thinky" tendency they have going is sometimes interesting.
- Is that President Obama on a coffee can in Japan? Heck, if they're going to put him on a pair of socks, why not coffee?
- Is Jay Leno the master of cool?
- The Democrats can still do a few things with fifty-nine freakin' votes.
- A twenty-year-old article on the fad of raising pot-bellied pigs in America. Don't ask.
- This article looks at the dangers associated with cars with keyless entry. This article looks at the dangers associated with wearing Snuggies to bars.
