Japan where everything is attractive teenage girls

O.K. I know these Evony type games are known ripping off artwork in their ads and using cheesecake fan service to entice gamers; but this just got bizarrely meta

The character in that ad is Shimakaze (she's a moe anthropomorphization of a WWII era destroyer) from Kantai Collection/KanColle which is just about the biggest thing over on Japan's side of the internet fandom right now.


So it's an online browser based game that tries to use cheesecake fan service to entice gamers that advertises by stealing fan art based on another online browser based game that tries to use cheesecake fan service to entice gamers.

It's real! ......no, just kidding, it isn't. Or is it?

There's no way Zapp is a stinking neutral.

Zapp doesn't fit in any of these categories. He would be a Lawful Stupid. That's Brannigan's Law.

I would put the Robot Devil in Lawful Evil and move the Professor to Neutral Evil. He is evil but doesn't have a problem with breaking laws if he can get away with it. (Save the blood)

It's like the makers of this commercial used the happiness device from Zim Makes Waffles on this guy:

Messing around with archive.org, observing how webpages in the 90's were half the width they are now:
https://web.archive.org/web/19980530122611/http://www.nintendo.com/home/features/e3_98/dayone.html

And then I spotted this, an actual use of the original Pokemon slogan:

They couldn't copyright "Catch 'Em If You Can" and had to use their second choice, "Gotta Catch 'Em All."
It's interesting they would use this slogan in the open before they could properly clear it.

They couldn't copyright "Catch 'Em If You Can" and had to use their second choice, "Gotta Catch 'Em All."

You mean trademark, not copyright. Sorry, but I am frankly anal about people confusing the two.

Wow, this is terrible advice. Most of it is from the unofficial strategy guide by Prima, but one's pulled from the actual game manual.

Yes, the old wives' tale about moving the truck in front of the SS Anne was IN A GUIDE.

Here are some print ads PBS will start putting in New York subways. I like them.

The best touch is how all these fake channels have titles like "The Culture Network," "The Know Channel" or "Insight and Arts." That's exactly what's happened in real life.

That's equal parts funny and depressing.

Just a reminder of what Nickelodeon would rather put on television than Korra:

I didnt know where to put this, but it IS a collection of images:

This is one of the best GIFs on the Internet. Prove me wrong.
