Super Terrific Japanese Thing: Lego Pop-Up Book
I was all set to show you the “Geisha Facial” — a bird shit treatment — but then I realized it was being used by Japanese people to con New York socialites with too much money. So forget that. And besides, Neekee sent me this absolutely stunning video of a Japanese man who made a Lego pop-up book. Okay, it’s less a book than one page, but it still opens up into an elaborate Lego scene that pops fucking up, man, and it’s made of Legos. That’s gotta be worth worth something, right? If not, go watch the panties again.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
