The Japanese have mastered the art of strangeness and therefore go gonzo on purpose, but the Chinese take their goofy videos very seriously and don't see why people think they're funny.

What's so funny about two cute teen girls in military uniforms with combat knives or a guy wearing a giant bear mascot head saying "Who Cares?"

Trust me, it's strangely funny, although it's meant to be aggressive posturing so don't let them know their wacky video made you LOL.

The video was created by the Chinese Communist Party Youth League in response to the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling against China's claims to the resources found in the South China Sea.

What does all that mean? Who cares!

When an election year rolls around lawns and fences across the country start sprouting campaign signs, because presidential candidates think this crappy advertising tactic still works.

But voters know better than to vote for somebody just because their name appears on a plastic board littering a lawn, which is why this diabolical double billing will never be voted into office.

Well that, and the fact that one of these two characters are fictional, can you guess which one?

The 2016 presidential election is shaping up to be a diabolical dilemma, forcing voters to decide which candidate is the lesser of two evils, so maybe we should just vote for this guy instead?

It's rare to come across a dog who actually likes to take a bath, and even rarer to find a dog who doesn't immediately run outside and roll in the dirt after getting clean.

But Brady the golden retriever is such a clean freak he gives himself a bath every day, then Brady wraps himself in a towel afterwards rather than shaking water everywhere like a cur.

(YouTube Link)

Brady's humans should hire him out so he can teach other dogs the value of bathing regularly!

Pokémon Go has brought lots of good things to the world of mobile gaming, bringing real life trainers together like no Pokémon product ever could, but along with the good there is always the bad.

(Image Link)

In St. Louis, Missouri, robbers set up a beacon at a PokéStop then proceeded to rob any players who responded to the signal at gunpoint, effectively using Pokémon Go to bring victims their way.

In Wyoming a 19-year-old girl stumbled upon a dead body while playing Pokémon Go near the Highway 789 Bridge, leaving her with some new memory scars but zero water type Pokémon.

“I probably would have never went down there if it weren’t for [Pokémon Go],” 19-year-old Shayla Wiggins said. “But in a way, I’m thankful. I feel like I helped find his body. He could have been there for days.”

(Image Link)

And staff at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. are asking players to be respectful and stay out of the building while hunting Pokémon, because duh.

But what's worse- someone reportedly caught the poisonous gas type Pokémon called Koffing inside the museum, although the image has since been removed from Imgur.

So go, catch 'em all and meet your fellow trainers in the wild, but be safe, stay aware and make sure you don't get caught in a Team Rocket style trap!

Margot Robbie had to ditch her Australian accent while playing Harley Quinn in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, but that doesn't mean she has lost touch with her Aussie roots.

She's still every bit the authority on all things Australian that she was before becoming Harley, and one aspect of Australian society which she has truly mastered is the art of Aussie slang.

Here she is demonstrating her laudable knowledge of linguistic lore by defining 50 Australian Slang Terms In Under 4 Minutes for Vanity Fair.

It's ironic Margot didn't know what "doovalacky" meant considering (according to a Google search) it's a word used when you can't remember the name of something...no worries, Miss Robbie, you still proved you're a Fair Dinkum Aussie!

Long exposure shots can light up the night, track motion with trails and reveal all that happens in front of the lens while it's left wide open, creating a single frame record of time passed.

But what happens when you create a long exposure shot of an entire movie?

You get a ghostly image representing how long the actors and the sets appeared in the film, as well as an overall feel for the color palette used in the film.

The image directly above is Alfred Hitchcock's classic Rear Window, and as you can see Jimmy Stewart spent so much time on-screen in the film you can actually make him out in a long exposure shot.

On the other hand, the image at the top of the post is from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and while you can make out parts of the set and a few ghostly silhouettes the shot doesn't say much about the cast.

Photographer Jason Shulman captures the feel of his favorite flicks with these ethereal long exposure shots, and once you start staring at them it's hard to look away!

Dan Harmon has taken us back to community college, to the far reaches of the Rickstaverse and he even brought historical figures back to life just to give us a history lesson.

And now Dan is set to take us somewhere that is simultaneously really old and really new- the dark, monster infested depths of a tabletop RPG dungeon. (NSFW due to language)

(YouTube Link)

HarmonQuest is an awesome new animated series adapted from actual Pathfinder RPG sessions Dan and funny friends such as Aubrey Plaza, Chelsea Peretti, Ron Funches and Paul F. Tompkins played out in front of a studio audience on Dan's Harmontown podcast.

The 10 episode first season will premiere on Seeso on July 14th, when it will prove comedians don't make the greatest tabletop RPG players, but they definitely make the game more fun!

The guys and gals who attend Hogwart's School of Wizardry have to find ways to blow off steam in-between lessons and their constant battle against the dark side of the magical arts.

Some like to get stinking drunk on Firewhisky, others train tirelessly for Quidditch tournaments and magical duels, but the most popular pastime of all is the Yo Momma joke battle.

A finely crafted zinger aimed at an opponent's unwitting mother can be more damaging than a spell, and leave a nastier mark than the one old Voldy left on Harry's head.

It's fine for the students at Hogwart's to pass the time bagging on each other via Yo Momma jokes, but leave Harry and Neville out of it because talkin' smack about their mommas is just plain mean!

Knocking over hundreds of human dominoes sounds like a really dangerous game, but when each participant is strapped to a mattress the game is safe enough for the folks at Guinness.

But when you're trying to set a world record for largest human mattress dominoes the tricky part isn't safety- it's getting 1,200 people lined up properly then making sure they all fall down in turn.

(YouTube Link)

Twelve hundred Aaron's Inc. employees clung to mattresses set up over 70,000 square feet of space in two exhibit halls, then they all fell down to take the Guinness World Record away from German furniture company Höffner, who set the record in 2012.

Public service announcements are usually created by advertising agencies full of people who know how to sell products and brand companies but generally know very little about education.

(YouTube Link)

These ad agencies know how to beat a message or song into our brains, how to create imagery and scenarios that stick with viewers, and how to send a message to the masses.

But they don't really know much about restraint, since over-the-top ads help them sell products, so maybe hiring them to make PSAs isn't such a good idea after all...

In every pack there are alpha leaders and omega followers, canines who are the first to jump into the pool and show the others how to act and those who doggy paddle in a blind panic.

Can you guess whether Beja, the “non-swimming” dog in this video, is an alpha or an omega?

(YouTube Link)

Beja is a regular at the Happy Tails resort in Norfolk, Virginia, and even though she has been coming to the resort for years, and knows how to swim, she'd rather stand in the shallow water and stare. Way to make the doggy pool party awkward, Beja!

If you believe everything you saw in the latest James Bond film Spectre, then you probably think Mexico City has an awesome Dia de los Muertos parade, and you would be wrong.

(Image Link)

The truth is- Dia de los Muertos is generally more of a solemn holiday in Mexico, devoid of galas, parades or crazy costumes.

And yet the Day of the Dead parade in Spectre looks so cool that Mexico's Tourism Minister Enrique de la Madrid Cordero wants to make it happen because “tourists are going to come looking for the carnival”.

(Image Link)

Creating a Day of the Dead parade is the logical next step for Mexico, since the country paid $14 million to appear in Spectre, and that way the Mexican people can say they got something for their money, right? (sarcasm)

As a kid growing up between Los Angeles, San Diego and Tijuana I used to encounter all sorts of characters who would become forever stuck in my mind, figures who came to represent these cities.

And the figure who came to represent Los Angeles was a bubbly woman named Angelyne, a busty cartoon character come to life seen in print and on billboards throughout the city in the 80s and 90s.

(Image Link)

Angelyne is Hollywood's original "famous for being famous" star, a woman who made herself into a star by posting her bodacious image on L.A. billboards along with her manager's phone number.

She made have led the way for Paris Hilton and Kim K., but don't hold that against her- Angelyne was just doing what she does best, being that "'50s glamour girl gone berserk" John Waters loves so much.

Marie Lodi (formerly of Jezebel) had the chance to hang out with Angelyne and go for a spin in her iconic pink Corvette as the two spent the day together talking Hollywood, politics and the art of self promotion.

Don't you hate it when you hold the door open for somebody who doesn't even acknowledge your existence?

Even worse for the eternally polite is the moment when you've just stepped through the doorway and entered the building and see somebody walking up to the door

Are you supposed to turn around and open the door for them too? Apparently only if they're really attractive...

(YouTube Link)

Shaun Micallef of The Micallef P(r)ogram(me) explored this very dilemma a while back in the comedy sketch “Polite Distances”, proving politeness is often a ridiculous affair.

W.C. Fields was famously quoted as saying “Never work with animals or children”, and that wasn't because he hated kids or critters- it's because animals and kids are too hard to control.

They don't understand why it's so important for them to hold still while the photographer takes their picture, and they become even more rambunctious when mommy or daddy tries to take the pics.

All those amazing photos posted to Pinterest make people think it will be a snap to get the same results, but after a dozen or more shots they soon realize it's time to settle for "good enough".
