Weird toys
Three funny foreign posts first. This is a Greenpeace TV ad: "The sun shines out of his arse." I can't get the concept, but at least it's funny. This is an article in the New Zealand Herald: "Pizza lockdown confuses tourist." Hmm, she needed it so much even in New Zealand. Sounds like Umeboshi for Japanese. (I can tell many Japanese trust Umeboshi to work for stomach problems and some take them to travel.) I remember American families ate Pizza more than Italian families. What do you think? I love Napoli pizza, because it's light, with more tomato and less cheese. My best Napoli pizza place in Tokyo is i-rottah in Meguro. Unfortunately good Italian pizza is expensive in Tokyo -- they cost 1500 yen or so. This is the Japan Pizza Hut's autumn special "ebi puri mayo" (shrimp mayo)...I can't find this menu item on the U.S Pizza Hut site. It's a Japanese original? Looks so heavy:-) I really love this site "Kitty wig." They look more artistic than this cat kitty cosplay kit.
The new movie Speed Racer will be released next spring. Here is the official site, check their trailer. Looks funny. I am not sure why this anime was so big in the U.S. I must say in Japan, it was not so special and actually I don't know the story well. By the way, the theme song of the TV show "Speed Racer" is the same as the Japanese original "Mahha Go Go". The meaning of the lyrics sounds the same. Check it out.
Softbank released the official site of the ZAKU head mobile phone "913SHG". Wow, its texture is much nicer than I supposed. I remember my brother tried to make a purposefully damaged Gundam model. Gunpla (that's what we call Gundam models) was a deep world. BANDAI had the GUNPLA EXPO last year. My friend went there.
Talking about models, I like this "stupid models" collection. Here are my bests.
The Poop of deer: Poops are paper fortunes too. You push his talk and get poop, and the poop tells your fortune. orz...
The mushroom and butterfly: Hmm, fancy? Lovely? Who would buy it?
The wild pig bowling: Ahh, the monkey was scared of it, look at the black wild pig. Weird.
Sushi cars: Boys love it? What was the concept? By the way, I prefer the egg one.
Guillotine: Is that okay? Of course recent violent TV games would be much worse, but since it is too realistic, I don't want it.
Talking about weird toys, this site picked some wired toys and most of them are Japanese!! Maybe the Japanese have a weird sense for jokes.
Japan Probe has a funny post. Which are cuter between Thailand new half and Japanese cute boys. Of course Thailand new half. They made a lot of efforts to be girls. But I realized the size of the neck is the point to tell women or men. Thailand new half has a very thin neck and they are important for beauty.

There is no ebi or mayo on pizza in the US! There's no corn either. Actually, we can't understand why Japanese people like it so much. ;)

Oh my! I can't believe I'm saying this, but those Thai ladyboys are really pretty! They could fool me any day!
The second Thai guy looks super cute. In comparison the Japanese guys look like ugly broads :-)
