So a while back I was ordering some eroti....err, some sweaters online from a Japanese company. As a special thank you to me they were going to include a free gift with my order; something I would surely appreciate and cherish for years to come.
Last night I realized that horror of horrors, I had forgotten all about my gift. I dashed to the pool table that serves as a general place for things to be set down and left on, and is not so much used for the playing of pool, to retreive it. A tiny pink bag with Japanese writing on the side of it, that roughly translated said something along the lines of "Sirry American, here is your flee gift. Hahahahahaaa!" I remove the tissue from the contemptuous little pink bag and behold in all its splendor...
Seriously? Let's ignore the fact that this is not something you give someone to try to earn repeat business. Unless I was ordering crazy and oddly inappropriate toys for children, which I totally didn't this time. But who in the hell came up with the idea for Holly Hostess trinkets with parasites chewing their way out of her stomach? And where in the hell can I get the rest of the collection?
Check out all the Parasite Pals for yourself. Not only is it amusing in a demented-engrish sort of way, but you now have a resource for that little one whose been begging you all year for a plush tapeworm toy to snuggle with at bed time.

Yes, I'm absolutely sure that's what you were shopping for. A little friend to snuggle with at bedtime.
;)
I swear I was shopping for sweaters. Japanese sweaters. Just you wait and see what hits the runways come boot season.
But, just for the sake of argument, let's say I wasn't... how in the hell does this gift tie into anything I could have possibly been buying? On the random shit meter, this was a 10.
This reminds me of:

which is also hilarious.
Oh.My.God.
It saddens me that my childhood was wasted on teddy bears, My Little Pony, and Transformers. I could have been playing with ear infections and tape worms!
I'm totally getting the whole set for $33 for my dog. I'm not kidding. Next time we have company and someone says 'What's she got there?' I expect wonderful reactions when I say 'Oh, that's just a tape worm/ear infection/whatever. And I'll bet the reaction would be even better of it's a child playing with the toy. Food for thought parents...
Wow, Tickles the Tapeowrm. WTF!?!?!
I know. Makes me want to come up with my very own line of 'educational' warped childrens toys. I haven't seen an STD collection of plush toys yet. Anyone want to partner with me on this? I'm thinking our line will be to this genre, what Bratz is to Cabbage Patch.
Wow, I've never seen anything like it..
I kind of want one, hahaha
(saw u on phx's blog btw) :)
makes my hellokitty erasers look kinda cool now. although I do try and hide them at work..
and fess up, fefa. I know you were really searching for these, not sweaters 'n' stuff...
