My Pokemanz, Let Me Show You Them

The title’s not so clever, I know, but there’s really no need to be witty, here—the picture says it all. Now, I know everyone and their mother has seen this, but I just have to say, this may be the absolute worse placement of an opening/entrance in inflatable bouncer history:

Pikachu Pulls a Britney

How could anyone have thought that this was a good idea? Couldn’t they have made a regular-looking doorway instead of a flap that needs to be held open by two people? I’m really not trying to be crude, here, but I’m just so mind-boggled by this decision. What do you guys think?

    The expression on Pikachu’s face says it all. lol

    And i always thought he was a boy…Such a chimo, pikachu, such a chimo

    Haha WOW. I agree. Absolutely the worst opening for an inflatable bouncer EVER. The younger kids are completely ignorant of things like this, but I hardly doubt the adults or older kids were that oblivious…o_______o

    lmao, yes horrible opening

  • fredy

    They could have just placed a big pokeball infront of him/she/it and then had the opening there… it would at least be less crude looking. Still this is hilarious.

    The thing I’m most concerned about is how closely that entrance resembles the female anatomy. なにこれ!

    *Off-Topic: I just thought of this when I saw this article, but I wanted to know if ぴか was an actual word used in Japanese to represent *sparkle*. If I’m wrong, please confirm this. I can’t think of the name of what these words are called, but they’re usually said with repeated syllables.

    Example: ぶりぶり (cutesy) or むずむず (itchy)

    I think that’s what we’re all worried about, haha.

    And, yeah, ぴかぴか is totally acceptable as describing something that sparkles.

    Ahh… well, I guess what you think it resembles really is a doorway for children, so actually it’s kinda lifelike?

    Who cares what it resembles? The only people who are offended by it are the ones who -think- of it that way. Its simply a doorway which easily closes so kids don’t bounce out, if you make it into something other than that, then your own mind is what is offensive to you.

    Demono:

    It’s not that I find it offensive, I just find it ridiculous/hilarious. I know this is childish, but it’s very bad placement for something that looks the way it does.

    > Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

    Well, since you ask, yes. Or rather:

    Giant inflatable Pikachus: cool!
    Entrance looks like a vulva:
    I hadn’t noticed until you mentioned it, but so what?

    It seems to me that you and everyone who is shocked (shocked!) by this is being a prude.

    > Or is this really as weird and twisted as I think it is?

    Everything is, I guess.

    > How could anyone have thought that this was a good idea?

    Well, it’s a common design in nature to have small beings coming out of the belly/guts/uterus of a large friendly beast.

    > Couldn’t they have made a regular-looking doorway

    Perhaps, but it would have been more work and a less elegant design. Anyway, for mammals, the vulva is as regular a doorway as it gets (along with the mouth and nose; the anus is more one-way).

    There’s something hypocritical and self-fulfilling about prudery: you seem to be saying this is a bad decision, not because it’s shocking in itself (few things are), but because it can be seen as shocking by prudes (which of course you’re not, but whose mindset you can imagine). Won’t anyone think of the children? Missionaries busily reforming native cultures must have been like that. It’s the kind of bizarre thinking that brought Janet Jackson’s breast to the world’s attention. Thanks a lot!

    I sentence you to a viewing of Courbet’s “Origin of the World” (nsfw or prudes)

    End of rant (wow, sorry!). And thanks for the cool pic.

    Ah well, perhaps I do have a sick mind and assume everyone else does, too. Still, you’ve gotta take a side if you’re going to show something like this, and I’ll stand by the one I chose.

    PURE EVIL GENIUS.
    When I looked at the photo, I really first thought “what the hell, that looks like the’ve put a c*** on pikachu!”, but then I was compelled to think otherwise…
    Shame on you for bringing my perverted mind back to the lead.

    ohhh, impresionante, hasta donde llega la estupidez humana?? :P

    Well it is a bounce designed for children, so unless a parent decided to suddenly fill their child’s mind with perverted nonsense a kid would otherwise be oblivious. In any case, it is probably the cheapest way to manufacture such an object. I suppose that japan was counting on Americans being a little more mature. It is a shame you guys had to prove them wrong.

    Do you think it has a back door?
