   This is my ultimate dream shoe, which will forever remain a dream because these are extremely limited, as in the Lebron 12 has been released & Nike iD only allows customization on their latest models.

   Speaking of Nike iD, can anyone explain why they're only available in the US & Japan? They won't even ship anywhere else???

VID: Eating Dog in China (& beyond)

Vice: Dining on Dogs in Yulin
Vice   -   YouTube 

   A common stereotype & joke, the fact is eating animals, all kinds of animals & all their various organs is part of Asian culture. In white culture, many of these animals &/or parts are considered taboo, in this case, dog meat.

Viewer Discretion - Graphic depiction of market realities such as butchering meat, in this case dogs.

   Level & objective coverage of the Dog Eating Festival in Yulin, China. Even though the reporter clearly has a bias, she's a dog owner. She manages to show articulate arguments on both sides of this hyper-divisive issue, going as far as sampling the cuisine at a family celebration. 
VICE: Dining on Dogs - http://youtu.be/589NAoC9Q6Y
   Southern China has always had a tradition of dining on dogs, despite becoming more prosperous in the 1990s, Yulin has maintained the unique tradition of holding a canine banquet every summer.

 Would/Have you eaten dog?

"People from other parts of China joke that, Southerners will eat anything with legs but the dinner table."

   Tiger was born in Fukuoka in 1941.

   In 1963, he submitted a large collage to the 15th Yomiuri Independent Exhibition, which received much attention. Subsequently he went on to be heavily influenced by Pop Art, which he aptly converted to address aspects of Japanese everyday life as well as the country’s current issues.
