The next show goes down June 21st. I bet that little girl is back with the ‘rents. She’s what, eight years old? Via The World’s Best Ever.

Jyoti, all 1 foot and 11 inches of her, goes to a regular school (her classmates, pictured above) and sits at a custom-built little desk. And she’s recording a rap album later this year. Lots more pics at the link. Spread the Jyoti love.

Cajuns chase chickens during Mardi Gras. But this time of year, these crazy Brits chase a hunk of rolling cheese down a steep hill. The winner gets the cheese, natch. Second place gets 20 bucks.

The first 20 seconds of this vid are priceless.

Okay imagine for a second that you live in a country ruled by a living god. Sure, there are no jobs and starving peasants, driven to eat dirt and bark, are a common sight. But that’s only because your country is under perpetual threat by hateful governments. Your Dear Leader is fighting them off with his grandiose plans. So you take solace in the idea that your homeland is a haven from the malignant, Western world—a fact drummed into your head throughout school—and that your leader is the Best Human Ever, a poet, an artist, a ladies man, a great scientist.

Naturally, you pool your hope into your kids, and according to the Dear Leader, the highest honor your kids can achieve is appearing in an enormous choreographed dance—120,000 people, all performing in one extended pantomime that’s part Busby Berkeley, part Superbowl, and part Triumph of the Will. That’s North Korea, and that’s the Mass Games—which are undeniably gorgeous.

There’s a great set of Mass Games photos at Flickr, by Gazjoe. And Vice, when they were in North Korea, attended the games.

All the weird stuff goes down in Russia:

Sergei Kazantsev, a local farmer, is one of the latest victims. He is suing Russia’s Federal Space Agency because he claims toxic fuel from rocket debris caused the death of four of his horses, the Moscow Times reported on Thursday.

It was the second complaint to emerge in as many weeks. Boris Urmatov, a shepherd in Altai, demanded $40,000 in compensation for emotional distress after an 11-foot long slab of rocket crashed close to his house. The space agency awarded $400 to an Altai resident several years ago after a similar incident.
