So I'm chilling out in Japan just minding my own business when I see this little gem sitting in a parking lot. I knew I had to take a photo for all my Sijun buds cause no one would believe it.

haha, that is funny.
It already looks like a hello kitty vehicle, just paint it pink and white.
p.s. - japan is kindof far, did you take a wrong turn?

Hey Pat when you were in Japan did you run across the brand name drinks they've got there? I got to stay there for 2 weeks and noticed they use a strange marketing scheme where they name everything with really crappy names.
Heres what I mean (sorry I dont have any pictures for people who care):
Pocari Sweat - Now...what the hell's a Pocari, and why do i want to drink its sweat? (It tastes kind of like gatorade)
Calpis Water-Honestly I dont know what it is,but they do sell that here in specialty stores. But naming somthing to drink with "piss" in it isnt a great way to make me want to buy it either.
Just thought I'd post somthing under this catagory...even if it's not all that interesting

A friend of mine brought back a --no lie-- Hello Kitty douche kit from Japan.
She said if she didn't show it to us, no one would believe it.
Now THAT'S using a brand name to the extreme. |

They still do sell hello kitty vibrators. The pink Hello Kitty Toilet Paper was always a favourite of mine too, although it also comes in green. Check out j-list for many other lovely examples.
Oh yeah.. and the Hello Kitty Happiness Beans are something I desperately want as well
