What seems like an innocent and cute design has going horribly wrong -- and in so many ways!
Do you think the Japanese designers behind this product didn't realize all these alternative views of their design, or was it intention? Either way, the cup has gone viral and as they say, 'There is no such thing as bad publicity.'
An oldie of a Tumblr post but still very much relevant and important. When a mom from Utah, posted on her blog about a Japanese-themed party she threw for her daughter, Tumblr somehow got a hold of it and started dragging the mom for encouraging racism. Then commenters started stepping in, one of which who was actually Japanese, decided to set the record straight.
When Twitter user @balqis_sidiqia recently shared this cartoon of a mom doing everything on her own while dad doing nothing, it got a lot of attention. The clip is originally from a Japanese anime series – Crayon Shin-chan – written and illustrated by Yoshito Usui.
Who said that the young rule the internet? 89 years old Japanese grandma, Kimiko Nishimito, actually never knew she loved photography and that she was pretty good at it until the age of 72. Her son was teaching a class about photography and she decided to join in and listen. From that moment on, she found out not only that she loves to take pictures and goof around, but that she actually handles the camera better than most. Ever since, she has been taking hilarious selfies that won the internet and even got her a solo exhibition at a museum in her home town of Kumamoto.
