asian oddities

i don't know what it is about today but i've been stumbling across some really fun and ammusing asian links... like did you know that psinet's first japanese pop was hosted in a bathroom? or that thailand has a ban on showing smoking on television? since i'm not a tobacco fan [but i put up with it since seventy.five percent of my friends smoke] i applaud them for doing that but i've learned that they use porno blur on patty and selma when they smoke on their rebroadcast of simpsons episodes. finally, i've been enamoured with how absolutley weird and camp bollywood is and i stumbled across a bollywood album gallery that's rife with photoshop phriday material.
