Super Terrific Japanese Thing: Puppine
Okay. This might not be placenta juice, but this week’s STJT is certainly the most extreme example of something which only the Japanese would have. Puppine is a fashion magazine…for dogs. It highlights clothes and beauty tips for dogs, and occasionally, their owners (mostly how to match your dog).
I can only assume this magazine is a test to see which Japanese people have too much disposable income. Hopefully these people are taken to the top of Tokyo Tower and thrown off. (Via Trends in Japan)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
