It’s good to know that Japan Probe delivers all the Japan-related news that I need.

BTW it’s a chipmunk, not a prairie dog. Everybody knows that.

I thought the sound was really cute – but then she’s Tsuji Nozomi, whom I believe is unable to not be really cute.

The noise the girl makes at the end of the video segment is holy-shit-terrible. I imagine it scared the ass outta the prairie dog.

Actually – it made it at least twice on the air. 2 commercials featured the dramatic prairie dog. This one and one called “Internet TV” by Vizio Internet Apps. (http://bit.ly/an1PQo) True, it’s more of a beaver, and it uses different music, but the reference is clear.

That didn’t work. The music wasn’t dramatic enough, the animal shuffled round instead of turning dramatically, and it looked bored, not wide-eyed.

That’s what you get for being years late for a meme.
