Wednesday, November 18th, 2009Hello 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 [...]
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?

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.

Superman Feels Pretty and Has the Bra to Prove It
Monday, November 24th, 2008If you can count on Japan for two things, it’s (1) having cell phone technology that will finally arrive here in the States about the same time as “green” cars that run on apple juice and cat farts, and (2) inventive (i.e., fuggin’ weird) new fetishes and ways to capitalize upon them. In fact, just [...]
Howl’s Moving Castle Papercraft Well Worth the Death of Ninety-Seven Trees
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Flickr user papekura is quite the papercraft artisan, as you can see in her photostream. But this model inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle–one of the few, delightful Japanese anime flicks that doesn’t confuse me to the point of eye-crossing exhaustion–more-than-stretches expectations for what can be produced with: …a lot of x-acto knife blades, tons of [...]
