Oh man, THIS THING. I saw these warnings before every movie in Japan, I think I could practically recite them by memory. The only advantage to them, I think, is that they might psychologically scar you enough to associate piracy with a creepy movie-camera-head guy stalking you, and freak out every time you tried.

Having been to Comiket and seen the tables vending the doujinshi personally, yes there is.

I got to find a good torrent for those ads. Wink

I wonder how soon there'll be knock-offs of these figures.

I couldn't help but laugh my a$$ off with this. It's not everyday you happen to run across a human size movie camera doing the wave and other smooth 80's moves. The look on the woman's face was priceless. You're not helping the situation by sitting there with a mouth full of popcorn. Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing
