    So, I'm in Tokyo on vacation (flying back to the US tomorrow) and I saw a really bizarre bunch of cartoon shorts at a stuffed animal machine. The machine was full of Usavich stuffed animals and it also had an LCD running a loop of a couple shorts. One of the character's names is Putin.

    Here's two that I saw. You can find more by searching on Youtube for Usavich.

    Funny thing is that it's from Viacom and I later found out it's from MTV Asia. I also found [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usavich]Usavich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame].

    I found this oddity:

    So many aspects of their culture just doesn't translate - but it's sure interesting!
