Limited Edition Real Life Pikachu's for Sale?

Aww it's almost cute enough to crush...wait...who's holding that thing?

So this picture comes from what appears to be a Japanese Online Store where some guy is selling a "limited edition" 20 real live Pikachus for

wait for it

...

99,000,002,805,760 yen

Or Over $900 Million US

This offers the question:
IS THIS GUY FOR REAL???

First of all what kind of moron is this guy thinking he can become an instant millionaire for a spray painted mouse. if some millionaire out there thinks this thing is real and actually buys one of these things for his spoilt kid's 8th birthday party ... this month, he would be the laughing stock of the corporate world for years to come falling gullible to a photoshopped mouse.

Now it also begs the question is this guy just desperate for attention cause if he is ... I doubt he can go any further from here. cause lets be honest here, any scammer with half a brain would show his face in public so what could he possibly gain for this, if he's "Viral Marketing for something expect a lawsuit or two from Nintendo... unless it actually is Nintendo viral marketing.... GOD DAMN MY BRAIN HURTS

So end of the day, either we have a complete idiot here, or a Viral Marketing campaign that shot itself in the foot as soon as it stepped into the public eye

"dctcool" Name Taken on Blogger?

SHOCK HORROR

I went to reserve the blogger username: dctcool only to find that the name had already been taken.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?


I originally created the username back when I was in grade 8 when I needed to create a username for a hotmail account, which was my first email account which I still use to this day despite the torture it's been through. and I've used it in forums and message boards across the internet ever since.

I went to check out the person who took out this username and I was suprised to find that this person hasn't updated her blogger since July of 2005 and only has one post where shes dreaming of singing a duet with some guy named Stokley. Ok fair enough


Then I checked out this person's profile and I was pretty shocked to find that this person was a 39 year old female banker from New York. And I thought I was the biggest tool for choosing that username, this chick takes the cake.

It sucks that I can't use the name cause it's gonna make things really weird for my friends who already have a blogger

Oh well Life goes on
