Seriously, Japan, Just Stop It: Birthday Cat Is Bored

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

I guess it could be worse. They could have put him in a tie with little Hello Kitties all over it.

Via Neatorama, who doesn’t think there’s anything more beautiful than the birth of a LOLCATZ image. Except maybe regular childbirth.

Dance, Wolverine, Dance!: Hugh Jackman in a Commercial for Lipton Iced Tea

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Behold this ad for Lipton Iced Tea, titled “Tokyo Dancing Hotel”.

Way to go, Japan. You’ve really done it this time. Your batshit-nutso powers have turned Wolverine into some jubilant dancing dandy, like he’s some sort of Broadway star or something.
Oh, wait.

Thanks, 1970s Japan!: Insane Star Wars-Themed Commercial for Sea Chicken [Video]

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Sayonara, Sucker: Hello Kitty Punisher Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Hello Kitty Hell has pumped more than its fair share of wince-inducing Hello Kitty tattoos into the tubes of the interconnected nets (Hello Kitty Boba Fett tattoo, anyone?), but this Hello Kitty Punisher tattoo takes the (soy sauce-soaked Japanese rice) cake.

Kitty of Liberally-Licensed Annoyingly-Pandering (Non-)Cuteness, I know the Punisher, and you, dear, are no Punisher.

Thanks, Japan: Sega Zippo Lighters

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Looks 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 [...]
