Razor Ramon “Hard Gay” or Haado Gei is back! And now he takes on something bigger, not TOMY’s Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu this time, it’s - Yahoo! Japan.
Can’t watch Hard Gay, watch him through YouTube.
Hard Gay starts by announcing that Yahoo! infringes his copyrighted trademark. Hoo! Apparently, Yahoo and Hoo sounds similar.
Hard Gay invade Yahoo! Japan office to reason peacefully with them and try to appear is what the Japanese calls a CM which means commercial.
YaHoo!

Wow, looks like more than a hundred million unique visitors visit Yahoo!, I think Yahoo! has one of the best content. I am not surprised that people are willing to spend time there. Google’s just a search engine mainly despite them trying to enter all sorts of markets. As for MSN, they got to improve their content.
I’m a little surprise to see the time spent in Amazon’s web site though. I thought people would have spend more time there. I guess they just aren’t interested to buy their stuff. The highest jumper is probably MySpace, which is now the top social-networking web site.
On the month of April, I have 26119 unique visitors with the majority just interested in some images in my blog. And 84.9% leave my site within 30 seconds.

Well, I don’t know if it’s accurate, just something interesting I guess. And yes, my domain name is too long it seems.
You can check out a preview of Yahoo!’s new design.
_(Yahoo!’s upcoming design preview.)_
It’s 1024 x 768 by default. You can set it to 800 x 600 at the Page Options. It’s good to see that the designers are finally switching to 1024 x 768. It’s about time most people set their computers to that screen resolution.
Personally, it’s an improvement I feel. I can find the Yahoo! services better than before. As for the design, it looks kinda strange to me. What do you think of the new design?
By the way, as of current, only Internet Explorer and Firefox it seems. Opera didn’t work.
Dear Yahoo!
Why does Superman wear his underwear on top of his clothes?
- Andy (Brisbane, Australia)
(Superman loves his red underwear; he wears them proudly.)
I never really give much thought to this issue, just lots of laughter and a bunch of jokes being derived from it. So I stumbled across something from Yahoo! Answers.
Dear Andy:
According to Superman through the Ages, several theories attempt to explain the origin of his peculiar costume. In a 1940 comic, Superman says he invented the costume himself from “cloth immune to the most powerful forces.” (Look out, Tommy Hilfiger.) A few years later, it’s revealed that Superman’s adoptive mother constructed the outfit from blankets found wrapped around the infant when he landed on Earth.
More recent comics state that the costume “acquired its indestructibility…as the result of being transported from the planet Krypton.” Well, OK, but why does the Man of Steel dress like an ’80s aerobics instructor? If we had to hazard a guess, we’d say it’s for aesthetics and nothing more. Without the red trunks, he’d look like a male ballerina in blue pantyhose. And not even Superman could pull off that look.
So there you have it. You can check out Yahoo! Answers for more questions and answers. It’s quite good, but it’s hard to find the questions that has been asked though. Perhaps an improvement would be nice.
Altavista Founder Dies
Flaherty died March 16 of a heart attack at his home in Belmont, Calif., about 20 miles south of San Francisco, family members said Friday.
It’s kinda sad if you point your browser to Altavista.com for some sort of information regarding the founder. They apparrently made no mention of Flaherty’s death.
Altavista was my favorite search engine back then when it was still under Compaq. It was still pretty good, back then it was Yahoo! and Altavista for me. It’s sad to see Altavista’s condition right now. (As of now, Altavista is part of Overture, which is now part of Yahoo!.)
Rest in peace.
Soon, The Apprentice results will be revealed, I can’t wait to know who would be the winner of The Apprentice. I have been watching it for some time.
I have been rooting for Tana for quite some time. She made it to the final two.
(Kendra and Tana - finalist of The Apprentice 3.)
Previously, Tana made some mistakes. It’s the selling T-shirts episodes. I don’t know about you, but I will not pay so much for that bloody T-shirt, limited edition or not. Kendra’s team, on the other hand, did right by selling to art-lovers.
During the interview, it would seem Kendra fits the job better as she has real estate background. Tana’s field is in clothes and stuff I think. Tana does not have the fighting spirit that Kendra has too. I no longer feel as confident that Tana would win.
The worst thing came - the last task. Kendra was told to do some game promotion for Electronic Arts and Best Buy while Tana has to deal with some Summer Olympic thing. Tana is in a really bad position. The team members she has gotten sucked. And her task is harder!
I would say Kendra may be The Apprentice of season 3. It’s a personal opinion though. I’ll just have to wait a few more hours.
By the way, there are some The Apprentice 3 candidates. It’s almost like a rule of thumb - once you get into a reality television show, bank of it - get a web site.
Brian McDowell made his too. His content seemed unfinished and his front page has a picture of him looking rather fierce. It’ll sure ward of the Chinese evil spirits.
So Alex Thomason (that metrosexual guy) smiles happily in his front page, it’s a good photograph.
The annoying John Gafford made one too which has quite a nice flash design with less than expected content in it. The green ‘Contact Me’ button looks way off. It seems he has egoistically registered EverythingJohn.com as well.
Michael Tarshi’s web site asks if I am ready for the takeover. I don’t quite get what he meant. Unless you know him to be the guy from The Apprentice, you won’t really know what that web site is for. He seems to be selling tarshiBAR in his web site and wants me to pay through PayPal…
She claims her web site to be personal, Tana Goertz made one that bores more than her personality. It’s disappointing, Tana. I thought your web site would be better than this. In the front page, some strange people start singing “yahea ma-whatever Tana, Tana…” I don’t know what are they chanting, it doesn’t sound right. If it’s slower and without the background music, I would have branded it as cult worship.
Danny Kastner got to be the coolest dude with the silliest songs. He owns a blog with the tagline - Yeah, I’m The Apprentice guitar guy. Danny’s really in Dannyland when he sings another strange promotional tune. Check that out in ‘pocumentary’ -> Apprentice Pocumentary. That’s just so danny.
Erin Elmore’s got one too that’s await a relaunch.
In my opinion, Kendra Todd did it right. She did her webby right. Funky music, flash animations, neat layout. What’s with Agent 53? Never mind that, just go there to admire her flash animations.
Of course, last but not least - The Apprentice web site at Yahoo! give you lots of information.
