Domo-Kun is the name of an undeniably
strange japanese children's
show which has attained some degree of
cult worship overseas. It seems to be live-action
puppet/
body suit work, and should
frighten any sane child out of his or her
mind, if simply because of its sheer
oddity.
The title character is a
refrigerator-shaped brown
monster with a huge rectangular mouth that never closes. As best the english-speaker may infer from observing an episode of the program, Domo-Kun
hatched from an
egg, and fell into the underground home of Usajii, a
rabbit of some sort.

Hopefully the
world is better off not knowing the
true meanings of the above statements... because I'm rather sure the
english-speaking world never will.
