My friend's teddy bear, a seemingly nondescript thing won through the claw crane machine at a game arcade.
But check out its name: Fatty Sweetie Puff (Triple Big). Good Lord.
Take a look at its ribbon, decorated with proclamations of "love doughnut", "love ice [cream]", "love chocolate".
Fatty also has a genuine "I love sweets" tattoo. Not even an animate thing and I'm already concerned. Japan never seems to concern itself with the messages it it sending out to the world -- even less so when those messages are in English and therefore inscrutable for most of the public.
