"Actually, not only is Japan the most perverted country on your planet, I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is among the most perverted places in the known universe. Only the Japanese could invent something as... deviant? Perverse? Creepy? On Armiista, we call it eew'dt'sroong... as schoolgirl panty vending machines."
It's just an underwear vending machine... Seems easier then going to the store just to buy a pack... Like... Oops, tore my underwear! Better get a new pair... And it's not the only "weird" thing they have vending machines for. Trading cards, frozen crabs, (i think) magazines, etc. etc.
"Very well, then. You force my hand." http://www.snopes.com/risque/kinky/panties.asp "When you are done bleaching your brain, here are some wolves to look at."
Alrighty... Well... EASIER THAN EBAY!!!!! All joking aside though, it is something people buy online. The vending company wants money. From everyone.
"The time has come, my dear, dear, friends, to talk of other things! Of shoes, and ships, and sealing wax! Of cabbages and kings, And why the sea is boil... Wait... what was I saying? Of course! How could I forget? Anyway, now that I've explained faster-than-light travel, it should be easy for you humans to build ships of your own."
Wut? Okay whatever... how about... STUPID HAIKUS! REFRIGERATOR! PLUS A REFRIGERATOR! REFRIGERATOR!!!!! *snaps*
The Japanese seem to think that things with gigantic eyes are really cute... Everyone else thinks it's scary but hey, if they like it...
It's an art style dude... and ponies are cute... look at their eyes. not exactly realistic are they. ITS AN ART STYLE.
