Erotic Weather Channels…yes, that’s plural

If you take a look at the sunny days, and you happen to be able to read katakana, you’ll notice that they spell out the word エロ (ero), which, if you do read katakana, you’ll know notice means “erotic.” Considering they were showing eight different locations, as well as the weather for each of them between 6am - 9pm, the chances for this coming up is nil to none. Unbelievably, something similar happened at a different time on the Wii Weather Channel:

According to Japanmanship, the Japanese Wii Weather Channel shows an island in the Pacific, South of Port Villa, called “Erromango.” It’s in the south of province Vanuatu (who knows where the hell that is); that’s somewhere near Australia / New Zealand. See the picture below:

It’s slightly to the South of the green arrow. Let’s zoom in a little bit and switch to satellite

Here’s where you can find it on google maps

The great thing about this obscure little island, though, is that somehow Japan decided to translate this as “Ero-Manga” (i.e. Erotic Manga / Comics). It’s a tough little island to find, though, so expect to spend too much of your day searching. If you do happen to find it (in English or Japanese), please let us know. I don’t think anyone will find it though.
