The Domo meme has long since hit the internet in full force, but your baby boomer coworkers will hold your $23 Domo iPhone case in the highest regard. Just one minor geek nitpick: Domo supposedly hates apples. [Etsy via LeJournalDuGeek]

Woosim Waterproof Printer Will Give you Tickets

Woomsim's upcoming 3-inch roll paper printer won't do anything for you, except probably give you your next speed limit ticket. But we like it because of its bright orange jacket and because it reminds us of Domokun, the Cyclops Version. Look at those teeth. That thing is hungry. For your money. [Red Ferrett and Aving]

Domo-Kun Mimobots USB Drives

Speaking as a guy who actually owns a Domo-kun shirt, these Domokun mimobots are pretty much the best drives ever. Mimobots are flash drives shaped like random characters you know, but this one's of our favorite Japanese stop-motion monster who also enjoys killing kittens. You know the one. [Joshspear]

Domokun Snow Team

Domokun, which I suspect means "Fanged Fecal Matter" in Japanese, is a very popular character. Now he can be even more exciting because they dressed his bile-filled body in snow sports uniforms. Watch him shush down the slopes in his Ski outfit or block pucks and raise a little bolus while tending the net in his Goalie uniform. It warms the heart.

Priced at $12.50 each, plus S&H, these are perfect for the coprophiliac on your Christmas list.

UPDATE - Read on for a lovely letter from a Hungarian reader clearing up the origins of Domokun.

Reader Borjan is from Hungary and seems to have a terrible respect for small, defecation-colored stuffed animals (who knew?). He writes:

Hey, fucking assholes at Gizmodo /that means in Japanese: crazy american motherfuckers, who can write any kind of crap/, the Domokun is NOT related to shit /like the Gizmodo crap-blog these days/.
Before you comment anything without humor, filled with original american idiotism, please check the information.

by the way, the Domokun is a mascot for a japanese television station, and the character is similar to a television set...

Fight the power, you Magyar Devil Dog!
