!! OMG, Russia owns Iceland !!
After Great Britain and the rest of Europe refused to help bail out Iceland, whose debts totalled more than 12 times what the government was capable of repaying, the nation turned to mean old Russia for a $5.4 billion loan. I can only imagine what the terms of the loan were, but don't be surprised if everyone is speaking Russian the next time you go to Reykjavik.

A rocket carrying the first spacewalking Chinese astronauts launched on Thursday, and this is what they were wearing. Fierce trannies! (Thanks to de Cosmos for the tip!)

!! OMG, her swansong: Nagi Noda !!
The music video for Japanese pop star Meg's song "Precious" is recently deceased pop artist/director Nagi Noda's final project. And what a project it is. Be careful watching to the end. I had trouble breathing I was laughing so hard.

!! OMG, burgers and massages: Kandahar !!
My friend Derek is in Afghanistan reporting on the goings on and posted a fascinating report about life on the base.
Located in a brand-new, pink-sided building is the Lai Thai Spa, where sore soldiers and civilians can head when they need a massage. Prices at the massage clinic start at $27 for a basic treatment, and although the place has only been open for about 24 hours, the booking sheet is filled.
The haircut I just got was pretty good. And tonight, the biggest choice will be whether to go to the British mess and have curry, or stick closer to the media working area and see how overdone the steak is.
Sounds like heaven to me! Beefy straight military men, spas, and Pizza Hut! Oh yeah and like a scary war-ravaged country with some people who want to kill you or something...

!! OMG, enema worship !!
You could eat dinner off the assholes of residents in Zheleznovodsk, Russia. That's because they loves their enemas. They love them so much, in fact, that they built a $42,000 monument to them in June this year.

Thanks to Minh for the tip.

Isn't it illegal to put cameras in toilets? Cause that's what the cop told me when he confiscated my cell phone at the gym last week.

!! OMG, how controversial: Pope in Oz !!
The Pope was in Australia on Saturday where he apologized for sexual abuse in the church. While he apologized, about a thousand protesters rallied against the Catholic anti-condom stance.
I don't know whose dress I like better, Benedict's or the alien princess drag queen's.
More HERE.
Thanks Mister Stanfield for tippy tippy.

!! OMG, live in it: Chanel !!
It has just been announced that fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld will be designing 80 "Chanel homes" on Dubai's new Isla Moda (Fashion Island) in partnership with a local UAE investment firm.
In Karl's own words:
"The metamorphosis of art and beauty is my passion. The discovery of contemporary mediums of expression has allowed me to pursue my interest in art, beauty, architecture and progressive cultural exchange. Dubai is a fashion bud on the verge of blossoming into the next fashion hub of the world. The city is alive with culture and rich in personality, making it a perfect place for aesthetic, fashion and design to flourish. Isla Moda has tremendous potential to be the style icon of the future and I intend on driving the island to high style stardom."
I wonder if he will be designing Chanel pets and families next. (via The Pipeline)
