I get this image of 8 year old japanese kids trying to recreate the scene from The Deer Hunters.

I can smell a lawsuit- eventually some kid is going to not have his pink hippo gun, want to play anyway, and pick up a firearm and shoot his buddy.... Well, at least that's what would happen in America. Seems like a veery bad idea though...

Oh that's an image to place in a frame and admire.

I hope they sell those here in the US. I'd buy one.

As I said before, this is the same culture that ENJOYS us wrestlers hitting them during matches. They thank us for knocking them on their asses and leaving bruises.

I think I may have lost the bottom to our Barrel (TM).

This is the place that thought Hitler was a good mascot for air conditioners.

Not really suprising.

OMFG!
Do you see the little Hippo in the corner with the gun to his head? Sweating nervously?

*dies laughing*

This could be because Japan is not really a gun culture so they're unaware of all the bad connotations...but then again this is just too surreal.

I believe that was Taiwan, actually.

Russian roullette with a magazine-fed gun (not a revolver)

Unfortunatley, in the long, long, long, long, long history of extraordinarily stupid ideas, neither of these are at the top.

Kinda says something, doesn't it?

Hey, at least in Japan if some person is so stupid as to confuse a stuffed pink hippo shooter with an actual gun and blow his brains out, the relatives don't run around suing everything and everyone in sight for not protecting the idiot from himself.

If the morons who blow their arms and legs off would just keep their idiocy to themselves and not try to cash in on their own lack of gray matter, I could buy fireworks in this state.
