    I love this crazy awesome stuff that comes out of Japan, So much enjoyment out of something so small and useless.

    @Jet Set Radio Zombie: I have often wondered if the Japanese create stuff like this to make the rest of the world think they are complete nut-jobs, or if they actually buy products like this. Perhaps a little of both. Then again, Americans update their Facebook page while at the altar, so they still have a ways to go to catch up with our crazy ways.

    Judging by my knowledge of the Japanese, this snack is comprised of 45% fermented algae paste and 55% jellified schoolgirl panty. Also when you eat it a fat sumo wrester pops out of a nearby manhole, shouts a gameshow slogan, hits you in the face with a fish, grows wings, then rapes a nearby woman with tentacles.

    P.S. If there are any Japanese people reading this: That one paragraph encapsulates exactly what every person in the world thinks of your culture.

    @Pope John Peeps II: Yeah, right up there with all American's being gun toting illiterate rednecks who marry their sister whilst burning crosses and killing muslims all the while hiding from the red menace which is socialised healthcare, (becuase the commi-nazi's win if you have that!!).

    @Curves: Sometimes being "Freakin Adorable" is all you need.

    I've managed to acquire three cats on that same basis. There really isn't any practical use for them...

    The phone really likes when you hold it up to your face and rub the *, 0 and # keys against your jawbone..

    I think Bandai has the entirety of my allowance from ages 5-6 thanks to all the Power Rangers crap I used to buy.

    Dancing Japanese robot school girls leads to dancing robot strippers, which leads to sexbots. Robot technology might be in its infancy today, but I like the way this is going...
