If you've seen Lost In Translation...or if you or your kids own anything emblazoned with a Hello Kitty™, you understand Japan's fetish fetish (yes, it's written twice for a reason).

Sorry. Just a little "crackers and cheese" to cleanse my blogging palate from too much TPOTC w[h]ining. By the way, profanity-watchers: the FCC has retroactively declared Bono's f-bomb "obscene." Our country is just a little bit safer for the children now.
