I'm not sure if anyone here follows Gaijin Smash, but... a friend of mine pointed me to this: Mari Mokkori (http://www.gaijinsmash.net/archives/an_extremely_ha.phtml) is a character that is marketed to kids, and is an algae man... with an erection. I kid you not. And this is marketed to kids.

Check this guy's stuff. Some of it will make you say "How in the Seven Hells did THAT get onto shelves?!"
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Hello Kitty shoulder massager.
Marimokkori is everywhere here. Kids love it. I don't understand it, nor do I want to.
He just looks so damn smug about his erection.
yeah, that's just creepy... :januscat
I'm having a very hard time looking at that thing without at least smirking with vague amusement, especially after Zina said how popular this mascot is.
Wow. Just

Hello Kitty has been used for far more disturbing things. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Kitty_murder) (Warning: pretty gross Wiki article, but I don't think it qualifies for outright NSFW.)
Ick.
That is like, the anti-hotness.
GAG.
Major GAG.

Yikes.
That reminded me of This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Junko_Furuta) (gross as well)
Are we really sure he's got an erection? What if he's just that bulgy limp?
