Japanama of the week...

It's coming to that time already, the end of the week!   And here is the collection of weird and bizzare news of the week! 1. The Biggest Eggplant (Aubergine) Yes, I guess Japan ran out of news again and began to show everything big, so here we have an elderly man in Japan, growing a big eggplant of size 21 cm... What will he do? He might eat it, but until then it is being put on display at the local city office.... 2. Hot Pepper Commercial Now with addicting songs that stayed glued to your head, here is a commercial starring Kaela Kimura and Snoopy:

WARNING DO NOT LISTEN IF YOU HATE HAVING SONGS GLUED TO YOUR HEAD ALL DAY!

3. High School Baseball Quartet miming Queen "Don't Stop Me Now" I have no words for this, except it was massively popular in 2006 when these high school players are in the mood for Queen! 4. Guinea Pigs nibbling on watermelon... Just to cool off from the last video/news... here we have something to cool you off!  Let's watch Guinea Pigs nibble on Watermelon for 30 seconds! 5. World Biggest Burger now invented and made by Japan!
Erm HUGE congratulations to Miyazaki City for its creation of the world’s biggest hamburger, yes now who wants to eat it?   The red one in the photo looks like its either Ketchuped flavoured bun, the green one maybe Green Tea?  And the black one.... charcoal?
The hamburger, which was made for a promotional event for the Phoenix Seagaia Resort, weighed it at 136.2 kilograms (300 pounds), beating the previous world record burger, which weighed a measly 84 kilograms (185 pounds).
[Nikkei] And there we have it, the very weird and wacky news from Japan, to your screen!
