Don’t say Indy’, the MAD remixed version of K-ON! ending tune ‘Don’t Say Lazy’, has proven to be exceedingly popular. Soon enough a version using 3D computer graphics was spawned, though with Daler Mehndi the results are somewhat different…
Viewable in youtube. Jus type in 'Don't say Indy'.

A Japanese eroge developer has courted controversy, or at least bemusement, with its decision to include a major character based on Russian Federation President/Prime Minister/Tsar Vladimir Putin.
The game in question is ALcot’s 幼なじみは大統領 / Osananajimi wa Daitouryou, “My Girlfriend is the President”, a game which takes an otherwise apolitical harem setting and gives it an air of parody with the inclusion of characters apparently derived from real world political figures

“It would be best not to anger me…”

Most notable amongst these is the charming President of Russia, Irina Vladimirovna Putina, a name which seems strikingly familiar, especially when her nickname of “Puchin” is considered…

Although more irascible Russian premiers might indeed be sending spetsnatz snatch squads after the developers at this juncture, Putin at least seems relatively good humoured, so it seems possible they will live.

In light of recent events, we might wonder at just what Rozen Aso’s response to appearing in an eroge really was…

Police have arrested a man for breaking into the club room of a school volley ball team in order to steal their school uniforms; searches of his home soon discovered he was a maniac and had stolen over 500 uniforms, but police soon realised that the thief was part of a much bigger trade…

Police arrested the man, a 24-year-old car mechanic and resident of Yamaguchi prefecture, and charged him with theft. An interview with the police responsible reveals the details of the case:

So about this case…

He is charged with breaking into the locked volleyball club room at the high school at about 1 in the morning; he took their uniforms and bags. We actually started investigating online auctions of schoolgirl uniforms, and he came to light. Soon we had him.

How did he get into the room?

Well, he unlocked the door and locked it when he left. He didn’t pick it or duplicate the key; we can’t very well let slip how he did it though, we’re the police after all…

You found a lot of school uniforms at his place.

It was mostly skirts and tops, but also with socks, ties, ribbons, scarves and so on, even complete uniforms. He had hired a storage facility near his home to store them all. He lived with his parents so he couldn’t keep them there it seems.

Where did he get them all?

He “aimed for schools all over Yamaguchi prefecture”. They do seem all to have badges from there, but checking them all will take some time. He claims he bought some, but we’ll have to check. It could take a while, as there are a lot, you know…

This was really about his particular interests?

“Taste, and for sale” he says. He had a lot folded up, but he also had them hung up in his storage…

It seems a sinister underground economy trading in the paraphernalia of the Japanese schoolgirl, to say nothing of the schoolgirls themselves, exists in Japan…
