Berlin -- Known for his 80's pop hit "Never Gonna Give You Up," the 43-year-old Rick Astley has been pronounced dead today. Astley's body was found at the Angleterre Hotel in Berlin after an ambulance responded to an emergency call from his hotel room.

Astley was found unconscious in his hotel bedroom and was unable to be resuscitated. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Astley was in the middle of a concert tour that would have ended in late August of 2009. He was to return to the United Kingdom at that time.

Japanese School Skirts

And you think they are meant to be THAT short.

"Up until now, many Japanese school girls have been rolling up their standard issued skirts as they thought it looked cute. This could be a thing of the past as more girls are now starting to think that short skirts look very untrendy. The image above shows the default length on the left and how it looks in mini skirt form on the right.

A few reasons/theories for this long skirt boom are given.
-Osaka's way of going against the short skirt school girls in Tokyo.
-Dont have to spend so much time restoring skirt to original length when warned by the teachers.
-Dont want to get sunburnt legs.
-Girls started to adore the looks of an Ojosama school in Nara. Ojosama is a bit like what Nogizaka Haruka was."

Yes, the 1st pic from the left is really ugly.
Somehow looks uglier than our country's pinafore huh?
But then the last one looks terrible too, to me.
Too short as a school uniform.
Maybe for porno it's just the right length I guess...

Sometimes, long skirts are nice too.

You local perverted males out there, please don't complain how ugly our country's school uniform is. It has it's own beauty.

I like pinafores.
