Meet your new daddy.
Oh you silly Nippon, You've done it again! Japan has a bid on the 2016 summer Olympics. And they need votes n shit from the International Olympic Committee by showing off everything they've got.. Not like they'll win by the vote. If Japan's efforts fail in making their docile actions please some votes, then they've got a life size 59 foot Gundam to win the bid with superior firepower (along with celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise). They've just finished construction on a RX78-2 Gundam (Basic, easy to make and oldschool) and its just sitting there in middle of Shiokaze Park at Tokyo's man-made Odaiba Island -ready to make the Olympic committee to piss their pants. Don't fuck with Japan.
So far the entries for the 2016 Olympics are..
1. Chicago (durr) for some stupid ass reason.
2. Madrid (Spain) Has fuck win culture
3. Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Has A huge statue of Jesus
4. Tokyo (hurr) Anime babes n shit

Honesty.. The weeaboo inside me wants Tokyo to win this one. THEY'VE GOT THEM ANIMUS, LOLI GOTH MAIDS AND THEIR OWN HITOMI TANAKA!
I could imagine their opening cerimony having Samurai bullshit and then to top it off, you have a Pikachu powered Gurren Lagann fighting Godzilla.
ANYWHO
If the Gundam fails to attract... Japan has another secret weapon up their sleeve...
Meet Tetsujin28-
Aka: Gigantor. He was birthed on October 20th 1963. And now hes a 60 foot statue! After 46 years the big guy is finally going to the big screen.



At 0:55-1:00 hes doing a Falcon Punch
I've seen Gigantor on Adult Swim a bunch of times. But i had no idea that he was blue.


Final thoughts-
It would have made more sense for Japan to make the Shining Gundam as it represented Japan in a world fight during the 1994 G-Gundam series

Flogo is a foamy, helium-filled, soap bubble formation made into an image by being screened through a large stencil. In this case, a Kirby-shaped stencil. David explained that the event is being held to commemorate Kirby's 16th anniversary. We watch the birth of the first batches of floating Kirby clouds. Besides the pics, there's a solid interview

On May 5th, the Chinese locals experienced a major frog raid. They were seen traveling without fear of traffic as they crossed streets in mass floods as it meant nothing at all to them.



Many Chinese took note of the migration as a bad omen of a coming natural disaster, but the Chinese government told them that it was just a natural migration for the purpose of breeding. This calmed the people therefor no one took the omen very seriously.

On Monday, 12th of May, at about 2:45pm, central China region recorded a 7.8-magnitude quake which occurred near Wenchuan County, Sichuan province, that killed nearly 10,000 people.

Many civilian houses and roads were collapsed and damaged. In one Dujiangyan city middle school, 900 students and teachers were buried in the collapsed building, at least 50 were killed.

The quake was the largest the region has seen for over a generation. Strong enough that even countries like Thailand, and Vietnam felt the shake.

Many people are now calling the Chinese Earthquake Test Centers “useless”, as they were unable to even detect the earthquake before it happened. When they finally announced the earthquake had occured, it was 12 minutes after the disaster, and 2 minutes after the US had announced a large earthquake in China.

As for the Frogs and their omen of propagation, Chinese scientists stated animals have much better sense than human on detecting the natural disasters like this.

So much for “migration for propagation”.
