THE CRAZY
￥35.62
Exploding Kittens made history when it became the most backed Kickstarter campaign in history. What is it you ask?
It is a highly-strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette. Players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten, at which point they explode, they are dead, and they are out of the game — unless that player has a Defuse card, which can defuse the kitten using things like laser pointers, belly rubs, and catnip sandwiches. All of the other cards in the deck are used to move, mitigate, or avoid the Exploding Kittens.
￥44.75
The Chinese on the men's shirt roughly translates to "Will you sleep with me?" The women's shirt: "You're ugly and I won't sleep with you." As for the auto-English translation of the product name (click "buy now" to see), we don't know what's going on there!

Our Swedish friends tell us it isn't really that bad. You're welcome to give it a try if you dare!
Oh, and one more thing... remember that ridiculously big plush bear from our 11th CCC? Last weekend we stopped into a random building for a bathroom break, and look who we found!
China, don't change.
