Geishas under assault:

...by inappropriate tourist behaviour

Sometimes I think that visits to certain countries and places should require the visitor to take a test in both common sense and manners...

We have driving licenses so I feel like a license to travel, have kids, vote and own guns could maybe make the world a better place. Or don't, I don't know.
It would be best if people just had some decency and common sense, but there's always going to be that one retard who fucks it up for everyone else.

a license to travel, have kids

Those two already would greatly help tbh

What can I say, the jokes write themselves.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I honestly feel bad for cabaret artist these days, the insanity these past years has made their jobs so much harder, they might end up being taken seriously!

The news apparently broke yesterday but seeing as my two days off with company are Tuesday/Wednesday I wouldn't have heard about it from work. Anyways, Bob Iger just stepped down as CEO at Disney and his right hand-man Bob Chapek has now become the new CEO. Iger is still on the board of directors but Chapek is calling the big shots now.

This could (and should) be a movie:

The Wales Chainsaw Tree Massacre

...or at least she could be the inspiration for some fanart.

You could say he...missed a spot check

This made me laugh way harder than it probably should:

Wear a mask, or I'll shoot!

[robersora]

ok, what is it with American celebrities and pedophile engagement?
You'd think a society so preoccupied with age differences has a tighter grip on stuff like this.

Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares reveals he has won the lawsuit against former bandmates keeping band from releasing new material under band name. Earliest new material will arrive by 2021.

I don't know if this qualifies as "news", but it's an interesting story that I just read about.

Earlier this year, LEGO announced that one of its new building sets for 2020 was going to be a licensed model of a V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor plane. Now, the LEGO company has this policy where they don't produce models of modern-day military vehicles, so in order to make the V-22 model appropriate for the brand, it was depicted in a civilian color scheme. It seemed like a perfectly good solution.

However, a German organization called the German Peace Society-- United War Resisters said this wasn't enough. Since the set was a licensed model, its sale would still be funding the production of weapons, which they deemed antithetical to LEGO's values. They started a petition to get the set recalled, and they succeeded. The V-22 Osprey model became the first LEGO set to ever be withdrawn from sale due to protests.

The moral of the story? Leave it to the Germans to take the fun out of anything.

You'd think he would have had that insight when he was suing his bandmates...

Probably more reason to be wary of Funimation and it's employees...
