The week is over, so here are some photos of Japanese mascots getting stuck in shit
Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro is sweet and magical, a marvel of emotion and animation for adults and children alike. You’d be forgiven, however, for spending the chunk of your viewing experience wondering how the hell Totoro’s rotund frame isn’t constantly getting jammed between trees and turnstiles.
Well, that’s a reality faced by whoever it is donning the Totoro costumes you’ll see stumbling through the streets of Japan, all of which are decidedly puffy. And whether you’re dressed up as Pikachu, Barii-san, or just a big-ass panda bear, you’re bound to find yourself wedged in some way or another. Japan’s use of space, after all, is decidedly efficient.

You’d think they’d teach you how to avoid situations like this at mascot school.
