Japanese chef has his dick removed, cooks it up and serves it (Possibly gross, NSFW)

If there’s one man who can alone keep the JapanWTF going strong for the entire rest of the year, it’s chef Mao Sugiyama.

So when he decided to have his boy junk cut off, he decided to serve it at a fancy dinner for $250 a piece.

Just like setting up a doll or puppet, Qumarion lets you change your models just by changing the poses on the mannequin itself.

Japan introduces the world to Shiri, the most realistic robotic ass ever created

Of course Japan would be the country to invent an incredibly life-like robotic ass that expresses emotion through its ass cheek muscles. Built by Nobuhiro Takahashi and a team at the Tokyo University of Electro-Communications, this is Shiri. Shiri, of course, means buttocks in Japanese, and the researchers claim that it “represents emotions with visual and tactual transformation of the muscles”. Right.
