Every so often on the Japanese news, a mid-to-high profile figure in politics or business or the police department fucks up big time. And as tradition goes, they're redeemed only if they make a public apology on national TV, where they can make up excuses like:
"I was very drunk when I grabbed my secretary's breasts, and I'm very ashamed."
or
"I do not remember using my company credit card to buy ten hookers, and I am sorry for whatever part I played in its subsequent bankruptcy."
Since people don't like to express emotion in Japan, especially when they're making a shameful confession like this one, the TV station gives them the option of having their voice changed and their eyes censored out with what is called a "mozaiku" (Japanized version of the word "mosaic"). So here's a party toy that will do all that for you. The Mosaic Show places a clear bar across your eyes and the internal digital voice changer makes your voice unrecognizable. It even has 4 different censorship noises ("peep!" "piyopiyo" "bakyuuun" and "ahaaan") for sound effects and profanity.
