Vomiting slime-dog toy

In August, Bandai subsidiary Mega House will ship its new "Biri Biri Kaze Hiki Wanko," ("shocking sick puppy") toy, which commemorates the thirtieth anniversary of toy slime with a plastic vomiting doggy.

This children’s game functions somewhat like Milton Bradley’s Operation, though with a much higher ick factor: the toy puppy, who has caught a cold, drools a concoction of slime and plastic germs. Players must extract these germs using the tweezers without letting the metal part touch the slime, an act which produces a buzzing shock. The player who collects the most germs wins. Play continues by loading the mess into a compartment in the dog’s head.

A puking dog never bites.

His barf is worse than his bite.

Nice Versh!

Japan has the wackiest ideas for entertainment, like the game show "Hole in the Wall," where contestants have to fold themselves into weird shapes in order to pass through a cut-out in a pink wall moving rapidly towards them, so they don't get dumped in a pool:

Let me guess, you have to buy slime refills. "It's like Operation, but more profitable!"

@Frank: good news! "Hole in the Wall" is coming to the States. Fox TV has been auditioning contestants lately for a US version. More info here, via Pop Omnivore:

If you really think about it, do you need to see anymore of that TV show? I watched the clip at Pop Omnivore, while I thought it was funny, I don't think it'll get any better the more I watch it.

Marilyn (#9), you just made my day!
