Male Model with 24 Words Tattooed on His Face Says He Wants to ‘Make an Impact’

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 04:10 AM PDT

Vin Los, a 24-year-old model from Montreal, wants to be the most famous man in the world. That sounds like an ambitious goal, but I'd say he's taking way to seriously. Vin has actually tattooed the word 'fame' right across his forehead along with another 23 words  designed to make him stand out. The man's face, neck and torso are haphazardly covered in an assortment of tattooed words and phrases.

If you're able to ignore the tattoos, you'd notice that Vin is actually quite a handsome man with a perfectly chiseled body. Which is why I believe the tattoos are doing the opposite of what he intends – they're actually taking away from his natural good looks. The fact that he's covered his body with so many weird words like 'lick', 'scream my name' and 'guilty' is so unbelievable, that people actually thought the tattoos were fake.

So Vin recently created a video to prove that his tattoos were indeed real. In the footage, he is seen rubbing makeup off of his body using a wet rag, revealing the real tattoos underneath. His own name is revealed on his stomach in huge letters, along with words like 'sex bomb', 'iconic', 'Tokyo' and 'New York' on other parts of his body. He also has hair tattooed on his chest and stomach.

Small Japanese Village Turns Rice Paddies into Awe-Inspiring Works of Art

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 02:32 AM PDT

Inakadate village, located near Hirosaki city in Japan's Aomori prefecture, is one of the few places in the world where farming and art go hand-in-hand. The village is renowned for its unique form of landscape art created in paddy fields. These artistic paddies are so popular that they attract over 200,000 tourists a year.

For centuries, farming has been the main source of income for the people of Inakadate. The amount of farmland available to the relatively small population of 8,000 villagers is massive. Paddy fields make up over fifty percent of the entire village land. The soil in these lands is so fertile that the yield from the rice crop has consistently been higher than any other village or town in Japan.

In the early 1990s, archeologists discovered that the rice strains of Inakadate were over 2,000 years old. To celebrate this fact, and to make the village more attractive to visitors, the local tourism office hatched a plan – to make use of their abundant production of rice to attract more tourists. And that’s how their amazing rice paddy artworks were born.

Ungrateful Son Tells Mother Not to Visit Him Anymore Because She Is too Ugly

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 01:11 AM PDT

When 63-year-old Ding Liang was found crying on a street in eastern China's Hangzhou city, her story attracted widespread media coverage. The poor woman had traveled five hours from her village to meet her son and his newborn child. Unfortunately, the son refused to see her for the strangest of reasons – because she's too ugly!

Ding's confession has pretty much shocked the nation – her story is currently one of the most discussed in Chinese social media with hundreds of thousands of hits and comments. It all started when 53-year-old local man Hsin Pai spotted Ding standing outside a housing complex. He asked her what the matter was and the tired old woman spilled her guts to him.

Ding told Hsin that she was from a village outside Yuyao city, in the same province as Hangzhou. Years ago, her son moved to the city to pursue a college education – he did well at school, landed a job at an upmarket car dealership and got married. When Ding attended the wedding dressed like a peasant, the son was apparently mortified and too embarrassed to admit his relationship to her.
