  • TAIYUAN, CHINA - JULY 28: (CHINA OUT) <br />
<br />
Mall employees reenact WWII executions of Japanese soldiers to promote sales<br />
<br />
A shopping mall in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province sparked controversy and confusion when they had their workers don "Eight Route Army" uniforms and reenact WWII executions of Japanese soldiers to promote sales. According to the manager, the mall started this "anti-Japanese themed" promotion during the anniversary of the Japanese invasion of China on July 7th, to allow customers to reminisce/sell clothes. Because apparently not even sensitive chapters of history are off-limits when it comes to facilitating consumer spending. Not to mention that it makes about as much sense as Wal-Mart reenacting Omaha Beach in the furniture aisle to spur sales of bean bag chairs.<br />
This might be even worse than the time Harbin installed Japanese soldier urinals to "promote pissing." <br />

  • Models Painted As Flags Eating Stereotypical Food From That Country in Jonathan Icher’s ‘Fat Flag’ Photo Series<br />
<br />
<br />
In his series “Fat Flag“, French photographer Jonathan Icher, with the help of makeup artist Anastasia Parquet, had each model decorated as their country’s flag while eating food stereotyped to their nation,<br />
<br />
Jonathan said: "At first, I wanted to make a fashion shoot with food. It was a challenge; I wanted to shoot the models with food in their mouth, but I wanted it to be glamour. Glamour and a little strange, but not disgusting. But i wanted the food to be graphic and colourful too. That's why for example, I chose eggs for the UK, and not beans...There is humour in this series - it's a kind of "extreme patriotism"."<br />

The Pyongyang subway<br />
The best place to escape american fire and fury<br />
<br />
 Built in 1970s, Pyongyang Metro may soon become the best place for north koreans to escape « fire and the fury like the world has never seen » that promises Donal Trump. It includes only 17 stations on two lines, with a total length of 30 km. In Seoul it is about 300 km. Construction of the metro service began in 1968 and was inaugurated in 1973 by Kim Il Sung, the grandfather of Kim Jong Un.  Before entering the platform, one must purchase a ticket and go through the checkpoint. The fare is cheap, only 5 wons, half of a US cent.<br />
You have to validate your ticket at one of these automatic machines. But they did not work the day I visited. Instead, a train attendant checked was checking the tickets by hand.  Like in so many others places, the visits of the Dear Leaders are immortalized by a red billboard telling the date they visited the place.<br />
So you will learn Kim Il Sung used this escalator. You can also find out what he has done in his life, as the North korean propaganda set up a billboard every time<br />
they visited a place.  There are only 2 metro lines, so getting lost is not easy.<br />
Each station is named after the revolution: Comrade, Red Star, Glory, Liberation, Signal Fire, Rehabilitation, Victory, Paradise, Restoration... not named after places though.  Going down the 120 meters takes just few seconds but you feel like being in a movie as the revolutionary music and patriotic songs are played all around from the loudspeakers.<br />
Everybody stays at his/her place, no one tries to jump the queue.<br />

  • Sunday in North Korea<br />
<br />
What can you do on sunday when you live in a dictatorship? You can hardly fly outside of the for a week end, or take your car to the beach...<br />
So this is the time to enjoy simple activities for the north koreans and the best opportunity for foreigners to meet them as everyone is more relax, including your minders!<br />
<br />
Photo shows:   Karaoke is popular in North Korea and on sunday, with a mobile quipement, people like to sing patriotic and melancholic songs. This is the only time you’ll be able to see people really relaxed.<br />

  • The Cement Mixer Space Capsule <br />
<br />
Along a lonely stretch of road between the small villages of Talala and Winganon in the US state of Oklahoma, lies what appears to be an abandoned space capsule. The letterings ‘NASA’ and ‘United States of America’ along with the flag is clearly visible on its side. However, it doesn’t take long to realize that the fallen spacecraft is actually a cement mixer.<br />
The landmark came into being by a happy accident when a concrete-filled cement mixer truck, which was on its way to help build the bridge over Oologah Lake, had rolled over here in 1959. By the time a tow truck arrived to haul the cement truck away, all of the cement had hardened inside the mixer. Unable to handle the extra weight, the crew decided to haul only the truck and come back for the detached mixer later, which never happened. Eventually the locals discovered the relic, and the mixer became an easy target for anyone with spray paint.<br />
For the last fifty years, graffiti artists have poured untold gallons of paint over the mixer, sending messages to their friends, or just showing. In September 2011, local artists Barry and Heather Thomas decided to turn it into a space capsule to celebrate the fifth anniversary of their wedding. The couple attached canning lids, garden hose, broken reflectors and other household items to the mixer to make the transformation look as real as possible. Before the latest incarnation the mixer was painted in a patriotic stars-and-stripes motif.<br />
The Winganon Space Capsule is now a popular attraction. People driving along Winganon Road get down from their cars to pose near it and take pictures.<br />
Heather Thomas hopes the new paint job would discourage kids to paint it over with graffiti. It has definitely survived, till now, although the thrusters at the bottom are gone.<br />

Prizes are often offered at these seasonal soirees for the tackiest v-neck or wool knit, sparking fierce competition among family and friends. If you havent snagged your piece of atrocious holiday outerwear yet, we know where you can glory in the gaudy, revel in the revolting, and win that coveted prize: our ugly Christmas sweaters page. In honour of the 12 days of Christmas, we've ranked our favourites from best to worst (or is it the other way around?). So pop a dramamine, sit back, and enjoy.

The Pyongyang subway<br />
The best place to escape american fire and fury<br />
<br />
 Built in 1970s, Pyongyang Metro may soon become the best place for north koreans to escape « fire and the fury like the world has never seen » that promises Donal Trump. It includes only 17 stations on two lines, with a total length of 30 km. In Seoul it is about 300 km. Construction of the metro service began in 1968 and was inaugurated in 1973 by Kim Il Sung, the grandfather of Kim Jong Un.  Before entering the platform, one must purchase a ticket and go through the checkpoint. The fare is cheap, only 5 wons, half of a US cent.<br />
You have to validate your ticket at one of these automatic machines. But they did not work the day I visited. Instead, a train attendant checked was checking the tickets by hand.  Like in so many others places, the visits of the Dear Leaders are immortalized by a red billboard telling the date they visited the place.<br />
So you will learn Kim Il Sung used this escalator. You can also find out what he has done in his life, as the North korean propaganda set up a billboard every time<br />
they visited a place.  There are only 2 metro lines, so getting lost is not easy.<br />
Each station is named after the revolution: Comrade, Red Star, Glory, Liberation, Signal Fire, Rehabilitation, Victory, Paradise, Restoration... not named after places though.  Going down the 120 meters takes just few seconds but you feel like being in a movie as the revolutionary music and patriotic songs are played all around from the loudspeakers.<br />
Everybody stays at his/her place, no one tries to jump the queue.<br />

The best place to escape american fire and fury<br />
<br />
 Built in 1970s, Pyongyang Metro may soon become the best place for north koreans to escape « fire and the fury like the world has never seen » that promises Donal Trump. It includes only 17 stations on two lines, with a total length of 30 km. In Seoul it is about 300 km. Construction of the metro service began in 1968 and was inaugurated in 1973 by Kim Il Sung, the grandfather of Kim Jong Un.  Before entering the platform, one must purchase a ticket and go through the checkpoint. The fare is cheap, only 5 wons, half of a US cent.<br />
You have to validate your ticket at one of these automatic machines. But they did not work the day I visited. Instead, a train attendant checked was checking the tickets by hand.  Like in so many others places, the visits of the Dear Leaders are immortalized by a red billboard telling the date they visited the place.<br />
So you will learn Kim Il Sung used this escalator. You can also find out what he has done in his life, as the North korean propaganda set up a billboard every time<br />
they visited a place.  There are only 2 metro lines, so getting lost is not easy.<br />

The best place to escape american fire and fury<br />
<br />
 Built in 1970s, Pyongyang Metro may soon become the best place for north koreans to escape « fire and the fury like the world has never seen » that promises Donal Trump. It includes only 17 stations on two lines, with a total length of 30 km. In Seoul it is about 300 km. Construction of the metro service began in 1968 and was inaugurated in 1973 by Kim Il Sung, the grandfather of Kim Jong Un.  Before entering the platform, one must purchase a ticket and go through the checkpoint. The fare is cheap, only 5 wons, half of a US cent.<br />
You have to validate your ticket at one of these automatic machines. But they did not work the day I visited. Instead, a train attendant checked was checking the tickets by hand.  Like in so many others places, the visits of the Dear Leaders are immortalized by a red billboard telling the date they visited the place.<br />
So you will learn Kim Il Sung used this escalator. You can also find out what he has done in his life, as the North korean propaganda set up a billboard every time<br />
they visited a place.  There are only 2 metro lines, so getting lost is not easy.<br />

  • The Cement Mixer Space Capsule <br />
<br />
Along a lonely stretch of road between the small villages of Talala and Winganon in the US state of Oklahoma, lies what appears to be an abandoned space capsule. The letterings ‘NASA’ and ‘United States of America’ along with the flag is clearly visible on its side. However, it doesn’t take long to realize that the fallen spacecraft is actually a cement mixer.<br />
The landmark came into being by a happy accident when a concrete-filled cement mixer truck, which was on its way to help build the bridge over Oologah Lake, had rolled over here in 1959. By the time a tow truck arrived to haul the cement truck away, all of the cement had hardened inside the mixer. Unable to handle the extra weight, the crew decided to haul only the truck and come back for the detached mixer later, which never happened. Eventually the locals discovered the relic, and the mixer became an easy target for anyone with spray paint.<br />
For the last fifty years, graffiti artists have poured untold gallons of paint over the mixer, sending messages to their friends, or just showing. In September 2011, local artists Barry and Heather Thomas decided to turn it into a space capsule to celebrate the fifth anniversary of their wedding. The couple attached canning lids, garden hose, broken reflectors and other household items to the mixer to make the transformation look as real as possible. Before the latest incarnation the mixer was painted in a patriotic stars-and-stripes motif.<br />
The Winganon Space Capsule is now a popular attraction. People driving along Winganon Road get down from their cars to pose near it and take pictures.<br />
Heather Thomas hopes the new paint job would discourage kids to paint it over with graffiti. It has definitely survived, till now, although the thrusters at the bottom are gone.<br />

  • The Cement Mixer Space Capsule <br />
<br />
Along a lonely stretch of road between the small villages of Talala and Winganon in the US state of Oklahoma, lies what appears to be an abandoned space capsule. The letterings ‘NASA’ and ‘United States of America’ along with the flag is clearly visible on its side. However, it doesn’t take long to realize that the fallen spacecraft is actually a cement mixer.<br />
The landmark came into being by a happy accident when a concrete-filled cement mixer truck, which was on its way to help build the bridge over Oologah Lake, had rolled over here in 1959. By the time a tow truck arrived to haul the cement truck away, all of the cement had hardened inside the mixer. Unable to handle the extra weight, the crew decided to haul only the truck and come back for the detached mixer later, which never happened. Eventually the locals discovered the relic, and the mixer became an easy target for anyone with spray paint.<br />
For the last fifty years, graffiti artists have poured untold gallons of paint over the mixer, sending messages to their friends, or just showing. In September 2011, local artists Barry and Heather Thomas decided to turn it into a space capsule to celebrate the fifth anniversary of their wedding.

  • worst christmas jumper<br />
Christmas prezzies are great, so long as its not slippers, sock, or the dreaded festive jumper. And it seems that has been the case throughout recent history, but just which are the world s worst Christmas Jumpers or All Time. Thankfully, Collector s Weekly has checked it out for us all Gran, take notice. Anything that looks like these, leave the shelf. The magazine writes: Every December, people of all stripes make the rounds of their neighbourhood Christmas parties decked in their ugliest Christmas sweaters. Prizes are often offered at these seasonal soirees for the tackiest v-neck or wool knit, sparking fierce competition among family and friends. If you havent snagged your piece of atrocious holiday outerwear yet, we know where you can glory in the gaudy, revel in the revolting, and win that coveted prize: our ugly Christmas sweaters page. In honour of the 12 days of Christmas, we've ranked our favourites from best to worst (or is it the other way around?). So pop a dramamine, sit back, and enjoy. Some are still for sale, but hurry: with looks this ugly, these sweaters wont last. This in order of the picture numbers. 12. One of the hallmarks of a truly ugly Christmas sweater is three-dimensionality. In the case of this vaguely patriotic 1980s beauty from Bravo, bows, beads, pom poms, and fabric candy canes protrude from the sweaters acrylic knit surface.
