unbibiumI was in Target a couple of weeks ago, and noticed a lot of Halloween-themed decorations hanging throughout the store, featuring Domo-kun.
Remember Domo-kun? Many of you first saw him in that "God kills a kitten" picture that was floating around the webs, years before LOLcats were invented. If you were ever nerdy enough to investigate further, you'd have noticed that he's a mascot for NHK, a television station in Japan. So, what's a mascot for a Japanese TV station doing at Target?
if Wikipedia is to be believed, he's been scheduled to appear on Nickelodeon this year as well.
It occurs to me that in fourteen months, we'll be starting a new decade, and Michael Ian Black will be handed a Domo-kun from offscreen, and say something banal about it in front of a chromakey.
