« Previous EntriesThanks, 1970s Japan!: Insane Star Wars-Themed Commercial for Sea Chicken [Video]
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Answer: Chewbacca jumping and yelping like someone just gave him a hearty Wookiee-neutering. Horrible doppelgangers of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia. “Sea chicken,” a screeching mantra that will haunt your ears like nothing else since “RED RUM.” The geisha-like version of C-3PO that you never imagined could be more effeminate than the original.

Custom Hello Kitty Fingernails Look Like Colorful Little Tumors
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009Someone spotted at the Tokyo Nail Expo yesterday apparently dipped their fingernails in partially-digested Hello Kitty parts.
Fact: Hello Kitty has a gumball machines where her lower intestine should be. Which explains why nutty Japanese schoolgirls continue to gobble her crap up.
Via Tokyo Mango, who chooses to see Japan as “fruity,” rather than “nutty.”

Thanks, Japan: Sega Zippo Lighters
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Looks like Japan took a break from winning hot-dog-eating contests, drawing naked anime ladies, and fetishizing Hello Kitty to produce yet another ridiculous novelty: Sega Zippo lighters.
‘Cause why would you make a really small video game console that plays games when it can light cigarettes, instead?
Because Japan, that’s why.
But wait… there’s more. The price of [...]
My Eyes Hate Me: Hello Kitty Boba Fett Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009So, for this Hello Kitty Boba Fett tattoo–courtesy(?) of Hello Kitty Hell–everyone can blame Lori, who said on the GWS fan page yesterday:
Boba Fett makes everything awesome. I’d even dig a Boba Hello Kitty.
How do your words taste now that you’re eating them, Lori? Hmm?
Yeah. Take your medicine. The burning sensation just means it’s [...]
Geek Loot: Japan Does What Japan Does Best in This Book of Batman Manga
Thursday, January 1st, 2009Way to conform to stereotypes, Japan. As soon as you get a hold of Batman, you stick him in some manga and have him battle giant insects, robots, dinosaurs, and villains like “Go-Go The Magician.” (Cousin to the less-well-known “Ray-Ray The Pawn Shop Dealer.”)
I guess I should just count my lucky six-pointed Hebrew stars that [...]
