The japanese are very strange.

I thought this was too amusing not to post (quoted from preveous link)…

“Also cool: I was browsing DAPreview (the site for those addicted to MP3 players…I’m on #15, I think?), and found
Wooden Headsets. As pleasingly Non-Apple-Hipster-White as they are, they’re
transformed into pure awesomeness by the truly awesome cautionary imagery
that accompanies them, and every product on this site.”

Check it out:

Strange indeed… but not as strange as this (probably nsfw). UPDATE: Someone posted a comment linking to the original image, which makes a lot more sense :). I should point out that I never thought the entire image was so strange… just the last frame (compare the two pictures and you will see what I am talking about).

    If the Japanese is a little difficult to read, there is a similar version in English as well: http://en.amadana.com/product/pe117/pe117.html

    That, my friend, is a Shenis - a female peeing device for bathroom emergencies….I kid you not!

    Frankly, I’m disturbed by the last pic where she has it near her mouth

    I think the last pic where she eats it is a fake. That is from the instructions for the product called The Magic Cone. Here’s the original instructions that tell you not to flush it but to throw it away:

    Yes, the last picture is disturbing. To me the last two pictures read, don’t throw in toilet, dispose by eating.

    Rob, yeah I figured that’s what it was… it was the last frame that made me concider it to be so strange.

    Looks like Dan has solved the mystery though, good work! :)
