Because Japan Knows Inconspicuous

Posted on October 20th, 2007 by Ed Lau

Oh yeah, didn’t you know? The Japanese are amazingly subtle. That’s why they have game shows where people get kicked in the junk when they’re incorrect or well, you don’t want to see some of the weird stuff I’ve found from Japan. Some of that stuff is freaky. Not that it’s really scary but you will definitely be thinking “What…the…#%*&?” and be just incredibly disturbed after.

A friend sent me this picture today from The New York Times.

Japanese Urban Camouflage, coke machine, weird Japan

Yeah, that’s a walking Coke machine…suit. I love that the accompanying caption says:

A vending-machine dress, the brainchild of clothing designer Aya Tsukioka, could offer a woman walking alone a way to elude pursuers

Now, correct me if I’m wrong but I think a freakin’ walking Coke machine would probably grab more attention than a woman walking down the street. That’s just me. But then again, it might be genius. Who would walk to chase a woman crazy enough to dress up like a freakin’ Coke machine?

    What happens when someone half-blind mistakes it for an actual vending machine? :P

    Probably a sexual harassment suit.

    Right, because a vending machine walking across the street won’t grab any attention.

    So what happens when somebody tries to buy a Coke. Does it attack the person. Personally, the freak the crap out of me if I wasn’t paying attention.
