Help me Obi-Wan, you're the only way to Rawk...

Yet another astounding trend in Japan.

Crowds flocking to a sold out tour featuring a popular artist sounds pretty normal. What is not normally is that the artist is a 10 foot tall animated hologram. I watched the video for the "headliner" (WTF?), but to actually see how the hologram actually works, I thought this was a better video.

If you pause at 1:02, you can clearly see the glass wall where she's being projected with the live band in the background. Why are they in the back, cause SCREW those guys for being humans, am I right?


I'll give her and her engineers credit for the sweet dance moves, but when I envisioned a world with life-like holograms, it just wasn't this. I'm still waiting for the Jaws 19 poster to leap out and take a bite.

Listen Alan, we need to talk...

We have similar last names and even I think this was an awful choice.

One would think that since he laughs at the end of the commercial that this was all just a joke and "Oh Alan, you are hilarious!!" but no. Sephora exclusively carried the line in stores until 2005 and after which he sold "Cumming" on his own website through 2009 when hackers forced him to take the whole site down.

Now let's explore the scent itself:
"It's notes include bergamot, black pepper, scotch pine, whiskey, cigar, heather, douglas fir, rubber, leather, highland mud, burnt rubber, peat fire, white truffle."

Cigars and burnt rubber??!! Seriously, you've got to be f*cking with me!!
