Sometimes I just don’t understand Japanese products
October 26, 2007
Japan is well known for marketing things that are just a bit too edgy for the American market. You know, kind of provocative, maybe tinged with a hint of misogyny. I often find myself interested despite myself.
And then there’s the stuff I just don’t get. Like these breast plush toys. There’s a whole story behind each character (the movie star, the rebel, the one who wishes she were bigger). And they can wear hats. Yes, you can get one that’s got its nipple pierced.
But who’d want to?
