Welcome to Your Worst Vietnamese Nail Salon Nightmare

Music video for Skylar Spence's "I Can't Be Your Superman" is a toxic chemical gangster fever dream.



Well. This did not go the way I thought it would. I'm rubbing my eyes after watching this wild-ass music video for "I Can't Be Your Superman" by Skylar Spence. Directed by Maegan Houang, it starts out as what seems like a fairly middle-of-the-road setup with some Asian criminal types shaking down a Vietnamese nail salon. Then it becomes... something else. Without giving anything away, it transforms into the weirdest shit ever.

I... enjoyed it? I enjoyed it. Just take a look:

Mia Matsumiya received your messages, creep. Now she's posting all of them.

Self-described "perv magnet" has archived over 1,000 messages from "creeps, weirdos and fetishists."



According to her Twitter profile, musician Mia Matsumiya is a self-described "4-foot-9-inch violinist, medical guinea pig and professional unscrewer." She is also a "perv magnet" -- and has the evidence to prove it.

Over the past ten years, Mia has received and archived over a thousand messages from creeps, weirdos and fetishists. And now, she's decided to share them all, via an Instagram account simply titled "perv_magnet." So if you're one of the guys who's sent her weird shit in the last decade... watch out.

Some of the messages are bizarre. Others are incomprehensible. Too many are just straight up disturbing. Mia's responses are hilarious. Here are some of perv_magnet's greatest hits:

Those silly Asians in and their "Ping Pong" dreams

Hey, look! Asians in Armin van Buuren's latest music video



Nerdy Asian alert. There's a whole bunch of Asian people in this music video for electronic artist Armin van Buuren's "Ping Pong," including one dude with some very ambitious table tennis dreams. Because if call your song "Ping Pong," you gotta have some Asians up in there, right? It's all very silly, but fun.

Run River North has a killer time in "Fight to Keep"

A man, a band, and a happy camping trip gone horribly wrong



One of my favorite bands Run River North (you may have first heard of them when they were known as Monsters Calling Home) recently released their new music video for "Fight To Keep," the first single from their upcoming self-titled album. The video features actor/comedian Diedrich Bader and the band on a happy campy trip that quickly turns very dark. It's weird and silly and violently disturbing. Kind of scratching my head over this one. Check it out:

Hey, kids! Aren't the Japanese totally weird and wacky?

I liked it better when it was called Double Dare.



I suppose it was only a matter of time before Disney did a take on the Japanese game show.

Disney XD's Japanizi: Going, Going, Gong! is an adaptation of the ABC reality show I Survived A Japanese Game Show, which was mostly built on the premise that Japanese people/television/culture are sooooo weird! And wacky! So now they've got the kids' version, complete with craaazy costumes, messy challenges, ninjas(?!) and a barking Japanese host. So wacky!

Here's a promo for the show, which gives you the general idea:

George Takei + John Cho = ULTIMATE SULU

Oh my.



Who is the better Sulu -- George Takei or John Cho? Wait, don't answer. That's a cruel question. There is no need to choose! As you can see, this super-weird photo gives you both Sulus at the same time!

It's from a strange series of images that morph the current Star Trek movie actors with their original series counterparts. So if you've always wondered -- and really, who hasn't? -- what would happen if the two Hikaru Sulus were combined in some kind of space-time splicing transporter accident, this is what you'd get.

(Thanks, Min.)

British woman has a migraine, wakes up with Chinese accent

No joke, Sarah Colwill suffers from "Foreign Accent Syndrome."



There's no other way to describe this than just plain weird. A woman from the United Kingdom goes to the hospital with a terrible headache. She comes out speaking with a Chinese accent. Whaaaaaat. According to BBC News: Plymouth woman 'woke up sounding Chinese.'

Three and a half years ago, 38-year-old Sarah Colwill was rushed to the hospital suffering from a severe migraine. When she woke up, she spoke with what can best be described as a "Chinese" accent. Colwill grew up in the English city of Plymouth, and has never been to China. I'm going to assume she hasn't spent a lot of time with Chinese non-native English speakers with a similar accent. But this apparently how she speaks now.

Colwill has been diagnosed with a rare speech impediment called Foreign Accent Syndrome:

YouTube Geek Week: YOMYOMF presents "How to Be More Asian"



It's YouTube Geek Week. To kick things off, as one of the ambassador channels for the occasion, The YOMYOMF Network (founded by Justin Lin and friends) dropped this crazy-ass original comedy music video in celebration of global geekery, How to be More Asian, starring Jacob and Josh Fu, aka The Fu. In this case, it's a deep dive study into Asian weirdness.
