Now, before we begin this segment where another set of five driving musics are featured on this randomly generated segment, I have some breaking news...
Remember last time that we're trying to figure out the song heard from the Chevrolet Trax commercial? Seems that the South China Morning Post figured out that the song heard from the recent Chevy Trax commercial, which we figured it out as Parov Stelar's Booty Swing, has some racist remarks saying that China refers to "the land of Fu Manchu" a place in which the girls sing "ching, ching, chop-suey."
To address this situation, Chevy revised the Trax commercial with having the questionable lyrics omitted. Good thing most of you already got your hands to this song before this one took effect, you know what I'm saying? Anyway, on to the segment! (Besides, the Chevrolet Trax is not yet available in China, you know)
5) Take A Walk (M Machine Remix) by Passion Pit - from the Renault Scenic XMOD commercial
4) Keep the Faith by Bon Jovi - from the '92 Kia Sephia Korean ad
3) Something for the Pain by Bon Jovi - from the 1995 Nissan Terrano Japanese ad
2) It's My Life by Bon Jovi - either from a Mitsubishi commercial or a GM Daewoo Rezzo commercial...
1) Born Slippy by Underworld - from the 2001 Toyota Will VS commercial
And there you have it folks. Another set of five driving musics offered just for you. If you have any questions, feel free to leave some comments below!

The fat and the furriest
Now everytime when normal people wanted to get rid of fat, their only hope for weight loss is by exercise, proper diet, weight loss pills, so on, so forth. But in 2008, the year when The Doctor (who was David Tennant back then) and Donna Noble reunited for Season 4 of BBC Doctor Who, the only thing they remember on the Season 4 episode titled "Partners in Crime" was those cute little critters called Adipose. These "adiposes" were made out of human fat and whoever took a ominous weight-loss pills distributed by some sinister company called Adipose Industries may get their lives dissolved into several adiposes.
No matter how old you'd watched that episode several times, in case you had the Doctor Who Season 4 DVD with you, you'd promised yourself that "it's okay to be fat" as long as you're thinking that you had a bunch of super cute aliens lurking in your body. Your main confession as a Whovian is when every time when someone mentions a new diet, you think of these guys. So, if every Whovians says awwww to the super cute but incredibly deadly critties, why would anyone want to have one at home? Tsk. Many had tried to make fanmade Adipose plushies for keeps but due to interests, a toymaker named Underground Toys took the memo and made one of these...
And this might do the trick. This is the genuine, the proper, the handcrafted, Adipose plushie from Underground Toys and it's a huggable one because it was modeled after the actual Adipose creature as seen on the 2008 season of Doctor Who.
At first glance though, it kinda looks like an enlarged marshmallow. Looks like it came from another world filled with cute aliens. Anyway, forget about that and about this stuff toy.
Every single piece of this stuff toy is an inch perfect and as for me, this is the "only" proper Adipose plushie for those who want to want a snuggle, a hug, and a kiss with these critters made out of human fat. Well, forget about the kissing part but you get the idea.
Scanning with The Eleventh's sonic...
Now this little critter's taking the sonic...
We asked P&F about this and the only reply I'm having was... "Well it was definitely cuter than the Meap"
Meap? Never mind but still, the Adipose is much more cuter than Meap.
Welcome to Fat Heaven!
The Adipose in my workspace.
So, there you have it folks. That's everything I have to know about this super cute creature from BBC Doctor Who. All I can say is that this is the best plushie I ever had not only because it's cute on the outside but this is just inch ahead of being a Whovian. If you ever see one of those Adipose plushies on sale, be sure to buy one of these and give those critters made of human fat some good hugging.

Threats from North Korea - A Week in Review (May 4, 2013)
And now, the week in review of what's what at the Korean peninsula...
April 28, 2013
- South Korean workers at the Kaesong complex in North Korea returned home today, day after the government announced to withdraw most of its workers following the North Korean rejection to the dialogue.
- With North Korea's bellicose provocation continues, the US House of Representatives is pushing for a legislation to cut off funds to Pyongyang.
April 29, 2013
- The South Korean Government set up a task force to support companies hit by the suspension of the Kaesong complex in the North Korean border.
- US House Commitee plans to hold a hearing next week to focus on tightening financial sanctions against North Korea.
- North Korea allowed 43 South Koreans to return home from the Kaesong Industrial Complex. Originally, all 50 remaining workers were scheduled to cross the DMZ at 5PM but it was delayed due to departure reasons.
- South Korean president Park Geun-hye criticized the North for being "too unpredictable" over the Kaesong complex suspension during a meeting with two U.S. lawmakers - Rep. Steve Chabot (chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee of Asia-Pacific) and Rep. Eni Faleomavaega (Democrat from American Samoa).
April 30, 2013
- Seoul's unification minister said that the South will not accept any unjust North Korean preconditions for the normalization of the Kaesong Complex...as such does little to promote inter-Korean cooperation.
- The US-South Korean military drills codenamed Foal Eagle came to an end. Despite tensions at the peninsula, this year's drills displayed Washington's stronger commitment to protect South Korea.
May 1, 2013
- South Korean government and the ruling party agreed to provide emergency funds to companies affected from the Kaesong complex suspension in North Korea.
- South Korea's nuclear negotiator Lim Sung-nam is on a two-day visit to Beijing, China to meet with Wu Dawei, China's nuclear negotiator, to discuss the current situation on North Korea as well as its full range of issues.
May 2, 2013
- Seven South Korean personnel remaining at the Kaesong complex failed to return home as they're still negotiating with North Korean officials regarding unpaid wages and others.
- The Kaesong standoff became an economic mess for South Korean firms shut out of the factory park. The South Korean government plans to provide low-interest loans for South Korean companies affected by the Kaesong closure.
- While there's not even a single threat coming from the North Korea...somewhere in Beijing...top nuclear negotiators in South Korea and China agreed on the need to restart talks with the North to find solutions to unresolved issues.
May 3, 2013
- Seven remaining South Korean workers at the Kaesong complex finally returned home, completing the pullout of all the workers in the midst of the tensions happening at the Korean peninsula.
- Financial institutions in South Korea are joining in government efforts to provide emergency funding in South Korean companies affected by the Kaesong closure.
- China's top nuclear envoy suggested that they will not accept North Korea as a "nuclear-armed state", adding that Seoul, Washington, and Beijing reached a consensus on the stance.
- South Korean president Park Geun-hye leaves for Washington on Sunday and hold a bilateral summit with US President Barrack Obama on Tuesday, where the 60th anniversary of the Korea-US alliance takes place.

2004 Mazda 3
The 3, better known to you and me as the Axela from Japan, was a mid-range Mazda that replaced the Protege (better known to you as the Mazda Familia or 323) and it uses the same design as seen on the Mazda 6/Atenza, the car that ushered Mazda's new slogan of Zoom-Zoom. It was available in two body styles; sedan and hatchback, and it was powered in either a 1.6L, a 2.0L, or a top-spec 2.3L engine.

1970 Dodge Charger
The original B-body Dodge Charger muscle car, first launched in 1966, is one of the most iconic muscle cars only Dodge is capable of and living it up to its "Leader of the Dodge Rebellion" mantra, serving that this muscle car is much better to lead than to follow. For the 1970 model, the Charger comes with new electric headlight doors, new high-back bucket seats, revised door panels, ignition now located to the steering column, and the glove box is hunged at the bottom. It is up to the skill of the owner to master the raw power of the original Dodge muscle car.

Hyundai New Tucson iX
Let's admit it that the Hyundai Tucson iX is the kind of car obsessed by those who are big fans of The Walking Dead TV series but while we're waiting for the fourth season in the 4th quarter of 2013, the crossover that was featured on the hit survival horror TV series has now been upgraded but how "upgraded" is this 2014 model gonna be and does it have what it takes to be featured on The Walking Dead soon? Let's find out...
Here it is though...maybe Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, and the other survivors on the hit series may not gonna like this new model though because for this new look of this 2014 Tucson iX, this is much worse than I thought because in the pre-facelift model that was launched since the summer of '09, it wasn't quite a bad looking crossover when we first see and then landed on The Walking Dead TV series for three seasons and gathered a whole new bunch of fans. For this new version though...care to look at the design? It has this hexagonal-shaped grille that doesn't quite a fitting for its looks so it looks more of a "walker" rather than being a sexy utility vehicle. Get it? Bang goes the slogan here... (laughing)
Anyway, aside from the exterior cosmetic changes, what else did it changed for this minor change model? Let's see...
First of all, the 2014 Tucson iX is offered only in two engine types; first the 2.0L GDi engine offered for the first time on the Tucson and the e-VGT R2.0 engine for those who prefer diesels. Anyway, the new 2.0L GDi engine provides 166PS of power output while the e-VGT R2.0 engine produces 184PS of power. While both of these engines are mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission, those entry level models wearing the R2.0 diesel engine are mated with a 6-speed manual transmission that promises combined fuel economy of 14.4km/L. That's it. We're not going to mention more about how does these engines differ because it would be a total waste of time. So, let's move on to whatever changes occured...
Like other Hyundai models, the 2014 Tucson now has FLEX STEER. The same thing you'd expect on the i30, the Santa Fe, and the Maxcruz. How does this work? Sorry, can't explain. It has three modes labeled ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT, and it was something more of a mood changing thingy at the switch of a button and three driving modes are based on driving styles whether on city roads or in an open road driving, whatever. But still, this isn't the time for explainations. Next!
What's added on the 2014 Tucson is Hyundai's BlueLink telematics system which allows owners to open the car or start the engine via smartphone. This might be ideal if you want to get away from a horde of zombies without the hassle of key fobbing. So, anyway, like I was said. BlueLink is included and it allows owners to open doors or start the engine with the use of a smartphone. That's it. No more explainations.
Available colors for this 2014 model are; Pure White, Sleek Silver, Mystic Beige, Hyper Metallic, Titanium Grey, Atomic Orange, Remington Red, Cobalt Coast, and Phantom Black.
Price List:
뉴 투싼 iX 가솔린 2.0 GDi 2WD Modern A/T - W23,500,000
뉴 투싼 iX 가솔린 2.0 GDi 2WD Style A/T - W19,700,000

뉴 투싼 iX 디젤 R2.0 2WD Smart M/T - W20,900,000
뉴 투싼 iX 디젤 R2.0 4WD Smart M/T - W22,700,000
And that's that. The new 2014 Tucson iX may have now gained an hideous looking face that looks more of a walker than being a zombie survival vehicle but with all of its added gizmos on it, this will become the most ideal crossover as preferred by The Walking Dead cast. Question is, will this new look be an acceptable one rather than the pre-facelift one as seen on the show? Find out soon...
