Step Aside Obamacare Helpline, Here Is Fukushima's Latest Mascot: Fukuppy

Tyler Durden's picture




 

When we first reported to the world the incredible SNAFU that was the Obamacare Helpline number, the reaction was one of disbelief by most until they checked the details and realized that indeed 1-800-F U-CKYO was real. The question was raised, did the US government do any due diligence on anything realted to Obamacare at all? Well, now the Japanese are at it. Meet the newest mascot for Fukushima Industries... as Japan Today reports, this cute winged egg whose name is FUKUPPY. In Japanese, pronounced "foo-koo-pii", unfortunately the english-speaking world may not see it that way... Does it not feel a little like the governments of the US and Japan are now openly mocking its people? Perhaps this should become the new mascot for Washington DC?

 

 

and for those wondering about the details of this new mascot...

Via Japan Today,

The company also provided a short profile for their new mascot, letting us know what its job is – besides making all the English speakers blush and giggle.

What are Fukuppy’s job and special skills?

According to Fukushima Industries, Fukuppy says: “I fly around on my awesome wings, patrolling supermarket showcases and kitchen refrigerators. I can talk to vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish and can check on their health!”

Where was Fukuppy born?

Fukuppy’s answer to this question is: “I was born in a Fukushima refrigerator!”

The egghead described himself thus: “I love eating and I’m full of curiosity. I think of myself as kind, with a strong sense of justice, but my friends say I’m a bit of a klutz. But I’m always working hard to make myself shine!”

Is Fukuppy a boy or a girl?

Providing the most diplomatic answer ever, Fukuppy replied: “I’m still an egg, so I don’t know which I am! But I refer to myself as ‘boku.’”

For those who aren’t familiar with the word, “boku” is the masculine, first person pronoun in Japanese, though in recent years some women have started using it as well.

I liked the old mascot, GLOFUKI YOASSO, a heated-glow-in-the-dark USB dildo.   To me, nothing said Fukushima Industries like a hot-glowing fuck powered by Tepco electricity. 

Although, I do see how it must have lost some appeal, once the Hello Kitty vibrator came out.

Perfect slogan for anything the US Government tries to do:

  • Social Security - Fukuppy
  • Medicare - Fucuppy
  • Medicaid - Fukuppy
  • Postal Service - Fukuppy
  • Obamacare - gee, let me think.....

I could go on and on.....

"That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you."

What that egg-fuck thing needs is a snappy jingle to accompany it (with the voice-over slightly out of sync with the lip movement).  And then Tepco can hand-out fuckpuppy plush toys to the kids to play with as their hair falls out.  

Given the opportunity for a redesign, they should consider adding tenticles and webbed feet to it.

Fuckuppy narrowly beat out "Where's Chemo?," "Up and Atom!" and "Radioactive Man" in the naming stakes

 

Fuckuppy: "I fly around on my irradiated wings, causing cellular damage and DNA mutations wherever I go! Nausea, vomiting and gastro-intestinal bleeding is realling 'fuckupping' my physical health!”

Where was Fuckuppy born?

Fuckuppy: “I was born in a Fukushima out-of-control nuclear reactor!”

The egghead described himself thus: “I love being eaten inside out by bone and other cancers and I’m full of curiosity of the after-life. I think of myself as a dead-man walking - just like Alexander Litvinenko!"

But I’m always working harder to make myself shine brigher in the dark!”

Is Fuckuppy a boy or a girl?

Providing the most diplomatic answer ever, Fuckuppy replied: “I’m a mutated, sterilised, inter-gender with multiple appendages. I'm the vampire squid screwing mankind's multiple orifices. Radiation... has been a blessing.’”
