Philips Japan is having a really strange promotional campaign right now — they're offering one lucky male user of a Philips shaving system a 0.3-carat diamond made out of his own mustache. Here's how the campaign works:

1. Go to the campaign's Mustache Beauty Queen web site and choose your favorite out of the 20 candidates for Mustache-Shaving Queen. When your mouse rolls over each girl, you can see her shaving her mustache. Yes, it's sexy and fun! You should check out the site even if you're not planning to enter.

2. Vote on one beauty queen you like by sending a postcard to the campaign address.

3. Once all votes are in, a queen is chosen. From those who voted for that queen, one lucky person will win the Mustache Diamond.

4. Philips reps will go to the winner's house and take videos of the person shaving off his (or her) mustache. They'll then use the carbon from the stubble to create an artificial diamond and present it to the winner in a special ceremony.

You can vote until Jan 11, 2010.

It is sexy and fun to watch those girls pretending to shave their own faces and failing miserably.

And... I don't know if it's the music, the production values or the girls but... that website feels like a japanese AV...

This story should win an award for the greatest title ever.

Seriously though, it fucking hurts. Don't ever do it, thanks.

I now pronounce you husband and what?! In another sign that the world is about to collapse, multiple blogs are reporting that a fan of the Nintendo DS dating sim Love Plus (you know, the really creepy one) liked his virtual lady so much that he decided to marry her. For real. Apparently, a Japanese gamer known as 'Sal9000' was officially wed to Nene Anegasaki, one of the game's three virtual girlfriends, in what must have been the weirdest ceremony in the history of ceremonies. We can only assume that Ms. Pac-Man was the maid of honor. While the two aren't planning a honeymoon -- after all, one of them is a VIDEO GAME -- they did hold a small 'reception' in Japan for friends, family and the media, indicating that this is most likely little more than the looniest video game publicity stunt we've seen in some time. Check out this video recap by Boing Boing, complete with footage of the happy, er, couple: I just hope they signed a pre-nup...

This creeps the hell outta me.

I'm not trying to say anything bad about the person who made it or her knitting skills. Not at all.

I mean, the hat is fine and cute. But the mask... It just... scares me... You know?

A Belgian man diagnosed as being in a coma for 23 years was actually conscious the whole time.

Somewhere a writer for "House" is firing up his or her macbook.
