Japan’s on the same page as the U.S. when it comes to cats – they get that kitties in little clothes will get Internet attention, and fast. But I’m not sure they’re quite on the same page as we are when it comes to branding.

It’s like they’re saying that if your service is bad, blame it on the cute cats.
