Stress Relief Brought to you by Domuku
This afternoon I found myself with a couple of free minutes and took a gander at craftster. This little guy was on there, with the inspiration for the ipod protector.

Inspiration
The "inspiration" cracked me up, so I ended up reading more about this mysterious monster creature only to find out he has a name Domukun. I guess he's the red-headed bastard stepchild from the Pokemon universe. Apparently he's not part of the Pokemon universe. The Domokun is the official mascot of NHK's BS Broadcast Satellite Network and he's sort of a mega pop culture icon in Japan. I found enough info about the guy, and went about seeing if there's more chasing kitties images. There are. Here's some:
From what I gather from the photos, this monster was hatched by a rabbit.

Our hero stops to talk to the yellow piggy bank.
He's not just a monster, he's a considerate monster.
He flies! Off to go see Spongebob
We've got the lame cartoon supermanish character as the spokesperson for one of the cable tv companies. Japan's got this little guy. I wish we could trade.

that kitten picture is hilarious...
The kitten picture was actually originally just the kitten. Someone on the internet--I believe it was a Fark.com thing--added the Domukus.
Ah, yes, wiki to the rescue. "The first image of the kitten being chased by Domo-Kun was created by Seamus Riordan, sometime between June 2000-Dec 2000. It was one of his first photoshops among many other less famous and not released Domo-kun photoshops."
The original kitten was stock photography--I've seen it in calendars before. (You can find it here.)
I guess it wasn't obvious that I've seen the kittie picture before too. Thanks for the info about that though.
Rarrr- love it!
i need that ipod protector... that rocks my socks!
