Japan Trend Shop

In an effort to waste both my time and yours I'm reporting today on one of the greatest websites I've ever come across.

The Internet, as you know, is an ocean of idiocy but every now and then you find that rare stupidity gem, the glittering rhinestone of inanity on the denim jacket of preposterousness, the moronic peperoni on the pizza of absurdity.  This is just such a website.

It's called Japan Trend Shop and is specializes in Brookstone-like items made by, and for, the Japanese.  The prime example of a Japan Trend Shop item, I think, is the Hizamakura knee lap pillow (for those times when only half of a woman will do).  There's also the Ear Scope Fiber optic earwax cleaner, which would only be complete with the MIHARU - Professional Intraoral Plaque Detection Camera + Extra or the Etiquette Checker bad breadth and alcohol test.

The really entertaining part of Japan Trend Shop are the models who are demonstrating these things.  They're being paid to look as though they have been waiting all their pathetic, meaningless life they have been waiting for an asinine thing like this to bring them joy and fulfillment.  Check out the women demonstrating the Head Kenzan Japanese massager or the girls using the Ear Scope GXL High End Endoscope, or better still the woman using the Akaishi Facial Massager (who looks more like she's being attacked by a squid...maybe she should try theTakoyaki Maker Automatic Octopus Balls).  

But our favorite product has to be the Tuttuki Bako augmented reality game.  Stick your finger in and have some fun!  Apparently "Tuttuki Bako" means "Poking Box." It is imperative that you watch the video for this one.  I'll let you come up with your own comments about this one.  

 楽しみなさい!

(enjoy!)
