Just in from the “only in Japan” department. As I was walking home from a restaurant this evening, I passed a stack of new vending machines they’d installed further down the hill. I seriously nearly jumped out of my skin when the damn thing tried to talk to me; “Would you like a drink? Our drinks are delicious!”. All this at like 9.30pm in quite a loud female but slightly robotic Japanese voice. I think if there was one of those within hearing range of my apartment I might have to go and smash it. Can you imagine it going off every time someone walked past it, day or night?

Evil. Pure and unadulterated. I swear that within 20 years Japanese vending machines will have taken over the world and will be bowing to our new and refreshing masters.
