Hizamakura China Version

January 6, 2006 on 11:00 am | In Crazy Consumers | | Email This Post

Last year at Christmas time we brought you Hizamakura.

This Christmas season the hizamakura is back, but this time…

Hizamakura Chinese version!

In case you can’t read the sign, the price tag is 13,440 yen. In case you’re not in Japan, that’s over $100 US. You can buy an iPod for that.

Let me think. iPod… or a pillow-shaped like a ladies lap featuring mini-skirt and a realistic skin-like texture…

I dunno, call me a geek… But I’ll take the iPod.

Nice China dress.

Hey, don’t encourage the tourists! Seriously…

    Oh that’s priceless. Is it a sign I’ve been here too long that it doesn’t even surprise me? :o

    BTW, found you via your post to WP’s support board and the URL caught my attention. Have added a link to you and look forward to reading back–seems like you have some real gems here :)

    If you go to Akihabara, you can buy more than just the lap!
