WTF??? Japanese Publisher Releases Condom Cookbook

Wrap it up…then broil it at 450?? Japanese Cookbook Featuring Condom Recipes Released Via MetroUK : Just when we thought that nothing weirder could come out of Japan, this happened: The condom cookbook. Yes, you read that right. A cookbook. Centred around condoms. The book is called Condom Meals I Want To Make For You (we’re thinking it may have lost something in translation), and contains 11 utterly delicious (we assume) recipes. And thankfully (and this really is a case of being thankful for small mercies) the cookbook uses condoms as a cooking device, rather than suggesting you actually eat them. So, what culinary delights can you cook with condoms? (No, we can’t believe we just asked that either). Well according to Kotaku the book features recipes such as condom escargot (that’s snails, people) cooked with butter, condom cookies and condom meat stuffing (no comment). So yes, on the surface it all sounds pretty ridiculous. But the book actually has a serious side. According to Nari Nari, Japanese men are the third worst in the world for using condoms, and the book was created to help promote safe sex and demonstrate the durability of condoms. But still. Meat stuffing… cooked in a condom. Man, what?!? SMH. Would you eat meat (or anything else for that matter) that had been cooked up in a Trojan?

REVIEW: The Good, the Bad, the Weird Lousy for Viewers, Worse For Horses

What we commonly call genre films — westerns, romantic comedies, horror and action films — may have been born in Hollywood, but the great proof of their durability is that no one can claim ownership of them: They belong to everyone, to interpret and revitalize as they wish. That explains how a Korean filmmaker would be inspired to make his own version of an Italian western, which itself was inspired by Hollywood movies that mined America’s “Westward, ho!” mythology, a case of the American experience being reflected back at us through double mirrors. But Kim Jee-Woon’s The Good, the Bad, The Weird is no The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and it doesn’t so much build upon its namesake as climb over its back on its way to somewhere else. There’s no modesty in Kim’s movie, not even the false kind. It’s faux-Leone baloney.
