    Pretty Cure sounds like something you give Barbie when she had a night of Roofi-tini's with GI Joe.

    @TheOriginalEd: Excellent point - how long is the average Christmas list in Japan, anyway? To just toss-in "video game console" in slot number ten makes me wonder.

    @Monty: Well, you know the japanese, they probably make a complete "ooooh aaaaah, woahaaaa"-show around it while they reveal the 264-whishes-list (cue oooh aaaah, wohaaaa).

    Sorry, I had to get this out of my system.

    Number 4 gives a little insight into why Asian people, at least Japanese, always seem to be so intelligent (book smart wise). Growing up I certainly never wanted books and I didn't know anybody that did.

    Having those books allowed me to pretend to be intelligent with marginal success.

    www.ustradebuy.com is the website that he sells (the one you replied to might be a different guy)
    [gizmodo.com] - (this commenter has several different accounts and has spammed other Gawker websites. Always linking to the same website.)

    Not a big fan of Japanese girl anime, but I looked up the Wikipedia entry for Pretty Cure. I couldn't explain this plot if my life depended on it: "The first story revolves around two girls, Nagisa Misumi, and Honoka Yukishiro, who by encounter the Garden of Light's Mipple and Mepple who give them the means to the fight the forces of the Dark Zone—a dimension of evil that encroached on the Garden of Light and as now about to do the same to the Garden of Rainbows, Earth. The initial run of the series has Cure White and Cure Black searching for the Prism Stones, and they place them in a heart-shaped device known as the Prism Hopish. The Hopish is protected by the Guardian, Wisdom. Once they have discovered all the Prism Stones, its power takes them to the Garden of Light and repairs most of the damage done by the Dark Zone. Later in the series, Porun, the Prince of the Garden of Light, granting the Pretty Cure duo use of their Rainbow Bracelets as they defeat the Dark King."

    @Deckard: Listen okay, the only way it could be more simple is if Misumi was the receptable for the soul of an ancient magician, who split his body into a thousand charms, and she had to collect all those charms before the great winged fish from the Faded Dimension came into this world through an intersection between the Dream Plane and the Digital Plane, caused by a rift in the H.E. Field, which is a field of energy that binds all living things together. Then all people turned into demons, and all demons turned into people, and then the dark world would begin to open and the only way to close the portal would be to reverse the memory particles that came up from the core of the earth, which are actually the disembodied souls of the previous citizens of the Kingdom of Mallor.

    See?

    @KurganG: heh, "you're wrong" would have been fine for me . I associate relatively lax male clothing standards with North Americans, the Australians and to a lesser extent the Brits, and of these I associate Americans with Gizmodo posters, so I assumed he was American. My opinion had no factual basis, however.

    Whereas I do like the concept, I think I would prefer to do it in real blood because they've got the color wrong. Dried blood is darker and more brown (due to oxidation).

    @OMG! Ponies!: dried blood also evaporates a bit, so it wouldn't be as effective as this is. This mod is meant to look like a bloody hand just brushed the front of your xbox, and the blood is so wet that it's dripping
