Pokemon's Fake Christmas Booze For Children

[wraggster]

via kotaku

The extent to which Pokemon is branded in Japan and abroad never ceases to amaze. Neither does the extent to which my family buys that Pokemon branded crap! Here's a bottle of "Shan Meri—," short for "champagne" and "merry." During the holidays, adults in Japan like to knock back bottles of champagne. And not to make the kids feel left out, alcohol-free soda pop that is packaged in beer, wine, champagne-type bottles.

I imagine it tastes a mixture of liquidated Pikachu and Bayleaf.

WTF! someone contact Jack Thompson. Maybe if he goes to japan and sees this along with their large supply of pornographic games he'll stay.
