YOU COMPLETE ME, JAPAN PART 1000
02.18.09
You know what I love about Japan? Even commercials for children’s toys (or tv shows, maybe?) involve visible erections and terrifying surrealistic nightmare fuel. Yeah, so… Sorry, but I don’t have any idea what this is. I tried to look it up, but the commercial appears to be for something called “inochi” and “inochi” apparently means “life, spirit and nature” in Japanese. Kind of broad. Anyway, feel free to weigh in if you’ve got any knowledge on the subject. The more Japanese stuff I see the more I wonder if Takashi Miike is just the Japanese Ron Howard.
UPDATE: According to my erudite readers, this is from the most recent Takashi Murakami art exhibition.

I prefer the Mexican “Panochi”
This is a complete photoshop job. Wait, did I already say that?
I know Chi. He’s in a coma.
Put a wig on that kid and he looks just like Pavel Datsyuk.
This is what happens to breech births when the doctor doesn’t yank hard enough.
He gets random boners and can’t drink milk. I guess Inochi means every Jewish kid I grew up with.
Sweet Jesus, just how much saki did that kid’s mother drink?
“He gets random boners and can’t drink milk.”
Apparently Inochi is Japanese for TengoDooter.
Inochi is a statue. Not hard to believe considering Mario Brothers 3 fucked up my childhood with the Tanooki suit long before I knew what the hell a tanooki is.
You guys are idiots. This is a commercial for Hamagachi brand carburetors.
It’s from the most recent Takashi Murakami exhibition.
From what I gather, Inochi is the anthropomorphic prostate for the Japanese Flomaxx commercials.
What’s funny is that drinking milk give me gas, which in turn, gives me boners.
This is what happens when you plug an infant’s nose, mouth, and ears while he’s trying to sneeze.
Was Jack of jack-in-the box (not of !) ever stationed in Japan after WW2?
Thith ith the cooletht thing I have ever ever theen.
Wow. Ed Harris is not aging well.
Really, this doesn’t seem so odd for a country that had two nuclear weapons dropped on it.
I fucking hate forehead breathers.
Wow – I suddenly feel like looking up school girls’ skirts and drawing some cartoons of round eyed girls being raped by slimy alien appendages.
By the way, can someone tell me what happens in the video? I can’t watch it at work.
When you consider that Japan gave us Yoko Ono, maybe Inochi and those nostrels on his forehead aren’t really all that bizarre
Nothing shocks me anymore from Japan. They created vending machines for business guys to buy used young girls panties out of. A weird half alien half robot horny teenager with lactose intolerence is nothing.
There’s a whole SERIES of these — saw it at the Murakami exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum this summer. Creepier than a single uncle in his 40s.
Japan is the only civilized country that terms when a girl can legally have sex as her age of dissent.
I think we need a Cool Court ruling on this
Yeah, that Murakami exhibit also has a lactating robot in it. For reals.
Has anyone considered the possibility that the attack on Pearl Harbor was some kind of bizarre artistic display that was horribly misinterpreted?
Thats kinda how my head feels on this fuckin Sudafed.
Wait, fuck. Was it a robot? Anyway a girl lactates and uses it as a jump rope, and a boy uses his sperm like a lasso. Same exhibit as this Inochi stuff.
Yeah, that Murakami exhibit also has a lactating robot in it.
That explains the dried milk all over my floor. I’m throwing out that fucking Roomba.
yeah, ha, You guys are idiots. This is a commercial for Hamagachi brand carburetors.
Looks like Sloth had a Japanese love child.
This is the most talked-about “election” in Japan since Prime Minister Aso was voted into office.
