The Japanese Consumer Products Industry Must Drop Acid

The Ougon tokenzan is a head massage thingy from Japan. I'm sure that it's actually made by a specific company, but fuck if I know how to read Japanese. It looks simple enough; 92 plastic needle thingies held together by a giant rubber band rub the top of your head.

While it only seems to be prices at about 24 dollars, the cost to your dignity, as seen in the picture, is staggering.

Oh, and the name "Ougon tokenzan" apparently translates into something like "golden needles for the head." I wonder how much effort that took?
