I do not speak Japanese, so I don't know where this came from or what's going on, but it's terrifying. WFMU blog-editor Lukas asks,
* Did the octopus have sex with the walrus, or where does the baby come from?
* Why does everybody abuse it?
* Are the two octopuses really one and the same person?
I don't know, but the result is what the Teletubbies would look if they were on PCP instead of E. Link to MP4 video, about 10MB, via WFMU's "Beware of the Blog." (Thanks, Coop!)

The weird octopus video is from a truly bizarre 1960's Japanese TV show called Kure Kure Takora, or "Gimme Gimme Octopus". Kind of the Japanese version of H.R. Puffnstuff. Link has lots more info.

Here's more info. My Japanese friends tell me it's equally bizarre even if you do speak the language!
