Next time your girlfriend gives you a stupid stuffed animal for a present, be careful what you do with it. I think that's the lesson behind this video. Check out more videos featuring Buildup's animatronic panda suits on Pink Tentacle.

About
Lisa Katayama's personal blog.
My Bio
- I write articles about culture, technology, and human rights for Wired, Popular Science, Fast Company, and the New York Times Magazine. I also produce radio segments for PRI's Studio360 and am a Correspondent for Boing Boing, one of Time Magazine's five most essential blogs of 2010.
In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Moral of the story: don't piss off your girlfriend, or she will send all sorts of homicidal toys on your ass. Or have I missed something?

Moral of the story : japanese men are pretentious and respectless jerks.

I'd accept any gift from her :)
And is that the guy from Kamen Rider: Kabuto?

RagingTowers: I agree, Japanese women are very beautiful. :)
That panda is awesome though.

The panda's head reminds me of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre

1. First thing you say; kawaii
2. Joke that the baby looks just like you.
3. Suggest she carry "the baby" while on the bus/train because it loves its mother and might get hungry. (If you hold it up to her inappropriately at this point, she will hold it, so that you don't do that again in public.)
4. Success! You've made it home, not lost face and GF is happy. +100 points
