Plush Poop
Plush Poop I don't know why but the Japanese have a facination with poop. The latest manifestation of that phenomenon is this stuffed anima...stuffed poop I found at Don Quijote, the K-Mart of Japan.



The tag says "sit on me" "touch me"

Comments:

actually it says.... [ e ]

The tag on the picture you posted actually says "sawatte kudasai," which means "Please touch me."

The Japanese culture seems to be facinated with poop since Toriyama Akira (Dragon Ball) introduced the poop jokes in his early manga series Dr. Slump, which also included cutely drawn talking poopoo characters.  The manga, which is still one of my favorites, is quite hilarious and seem that started the poop popularity.

But I'm sure that this poop phenomenom is a nich thing...

Is there something you want to tell us about the Japanese? [ e ]

The comment you have posted on your site that says "I don't know why but the Japanese have a facination with poop" is not only immature, but also offensive. I am curious as to why you may think something like this and why you would find it important enough to post on your website in a fairly easy to view spot. And why exactly is it a phenomnon? I'm sorry, it's just that I cannot believe that people your age actually have the time to post garbage like this. Just because a great majority of people in Japan find it humorous doesn't mean you can label them as "poop-lovers" or something highly immature like that.

immature? try realistic. [ e ]

TheBookoftheStone: get over yourself.  The fact of the matter is, there is a great deal of poop-loving that goes on over here.  Regardless of that, nothing in this post actually mentioned the Japanese as being "poop-lovers."

Before you step up on your horse, check your facts.

If you don't like things written here, don't read it! As a Japanese, I don't feel anything offensive to Japanese from these comments. One of my favorite comic strip is "Dr.Slump" and in that comic strip, very often, Arare-chan will stop on the street to poke a poop with a twig called "tsun tsun" I loved it! Cause, as a small boy, I did same thing! (Often those were horse's dropping.) Can I put a link here?

Look carefully of #03. See Arare with red cap (with poop) poking orange colored poop with a twig. Gacchan (small one with blue cap WITH POOP on top) looking over it. Funny, right?

Neko... [ e ]

Why do people strive so hard to be something they're not.  It's completely obvious by your pieced together manga learned japanese that you're not really japanese.  Not to mention NEKO is like the first choice for a nickname of a white american supernerd.  guh.

Do you chat online pretending to be a girl too?
