Hey, you know those punk characters on Katamari Damacy with the enormous Leningrad Cowboys unicorn horn haircuts and babble when you roll over them? They're not much of an exaggeration. The page examines what happens when the Japanese see and imitate a Western fad.

Thanks to sanspoof for linking it, though her post seems to suffer from Metafilter Syndrome.

Lore talks about it in his linking style guide (http://slumbering.lungfish.com/index.php?p=linkrules.1045257342), though I named it...

"Is this man going to far? How about as compared to him? Is this the only solution? According to the experts, it may be."

Ah, yes, the dislike of context-free links, which I have named 'Pentomino Syndrome'.

Oh, I see, I should have made clear the content, more? Is that it?

[pentomino.livejournal.com]

yes. I apologize for pointing it out so rudely, but it's kind of a peeve of mine, hence jwgh's complaint above.

Naw, it's okay, I just didn't understand what would have made more sense. Okay.
