NEWS: Stop Crime! Pretend You're a Vending Machine!

im comfortable with that. its not like anyone but an american would be fooled into thinking the "real" news was real.

I hope you're right, because I was seriously starting to wonder.

RUN BITCH RUN!

This seems like a dressed-up version of Solid Snake's cardboard box. And I was fucking invisible when I used that thing. This is a whole vending machine, so I have to imagine it'd be even harder to spot.

Whatever happened to the samurai?

They were all murdered in one big battle. Only Tom Cruise survived.

Also, every one in Japan knows marital arts, so it'd just be a draw, and it'd go on forever, unless you or your attacker happens to be Chuck Norris, in which case, Chuck Norris automatically wins all, and a piece of candy. But I hear Chuck doesn't hang out in Japan too much any more...

*SIGH* I'm so tired of hearing about the bearded one. It's times like these that I wish Bruce Lee were still around. Everyone knows that Kung Fu kicks Karate's ass in the end...


Insert canny dialogue for any Kung Fu vs Karate movie ever made:

Two men almost collide when they turn a corner, skirmish ensues:

Antagonist (Karate, of course): Hey you! Get out of the way dirt farmer, I'm walking here!

[Stare down ensues, insert sound of tuned sticks striking each other]

Antagonist: I said move it! Or am I going to have to teach you a lesson, no one stands in my way!

Protagonist (Kung Fu, naturally): Ah, you shouldn't waste your time... It's you who needs a lesson, but I don't think you can handle it...

Antagonist: Oh yeah!?! Well your Kung Fu is weak! Ha! Karate is... SUPERIOR!!! Come and get your beating now and maybe I'll be merciful.

Protagonist:: Ok. But I'm just warning you, I've been trained by Sifu Ping in the school of Huo Wu Dao Hóu (Fire Dancing Monkey, sort of).

Antagonist: Enough talk! Kee-ya!

Protagonist: Woo. Wha, wa-tah!

[insert sounds of wet turkeys getting slapped and punched mixed in with a flag being twirled]

Antagonist: Ah! It's impossible... You. [Cough] Beat. Me.

Protagonist: Heh! Wait till the guys back home hear how a Chinese dirt farmer beat a red neck Ranger!

Pretty good, eh?

Yes and did you know chindogu translates into queer tools? Of course you know. Anyway I wanted to include that part but wanted to stay on topic...although I don't think it's all just conceptual art. I think there is a degree of "what if this could work?"

all anyone has to do is close their eyes and they automatically become invisible. or am i the only one this happens too?????

nah, it works for me too...

+100
(although I'd be kinda okay with a country where the Daily Show was the real news, minus all the manic laughing. At least it would be more realistic than Fox.)

And I saw a video of this 'camouflage' on Have I Got News For You the other night. Its just incredibly funny.

I'd say that's pretty incredible and somewhat reminiscent of the recent Transformers movie. But how long does it take to transform?

i think this is awsome, saw it on tv the other day too, not exactly effective but awsome all the same!

Ok, let's say for a minute that this does actually work.
(and I'm talking stretching your imagination to it's limit)
The mugger loses you. The alley is empty except for a vending machine. The mugger's angry and frustrated!! He now wants to hit something. What does he do?
HE BEATS THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF THE VENDING MACHINE!!

Or maybe now he's thirsty after chasing you and decides he wants a coke... tu eres fucked.

You clearly don't understand that this is supposed to be a Japanese insult to Americans, because we are all somehow lumbering rabid criminal barbarians that shoot at random people and taker their wallets.

It's Japan for crying out loud!...they've got to have walking vending machines at this point, right?

Christ jesus on a fucking crutch, stop the Chuck Norris jokes. They're not funny anymore.

Weird.

My boyfriend says it is because, "We're yellow. How normal do you expect a yellow person to be?"

Un, um....considering all the crap I carry in my purse, my manhole cover would be really lumpy.

You know, I am hip to your ways, SleepyLady. I know what you're up to. The whole point of that article was just to get some idiot to say, "Ack, My manhole cover is so lumpy today."

Then she gets molested. "Press my right boob for Pocari Sweat."

yeah, perhaps this should be re-thought... nonetheless, I want one for my family and friends.

That looks like the same idea as those window shades for your car.
