This freaky subway ad for upcoming disaster porn 2012 is currently up in Rio de Janeiro's subway systems. Get it, it looks like the tunnels have ruptured and are flooding and everybody is about to die! Ha...ha? [Copyranter]
Spolier: it's Japan! What other country would produce USB warming pads designed for lovepillows? No other country, that's what. Finally, ladies can work at their desks wearing only their bras in wintertime without worry of cold breasts! [Thanko via TokyoMango]
