This post is so embarrassing. On January 31st, PS2 game Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi goes on sale. To get everyone excited, Akihabara retailer Messe Sanoh has a life-sized Haruhi Suzumiya figurine in front of the shop. Some might get a little too excited and have the urge to shame poor Haruhi. How the store is combating that, after the jump:

Yep.

muahahahahah
oh man that's so hot
that happened to me with a real girl once
LOL howd YOU find out? ;-)
I always knew an alien was hiding up there.
LOL!
Hilarious!
that's priceless!!
That thing would be stolen in an instant over here.
LMAO . . . that's great.
I didn't know the Integrated Data Entity is that interested in Haruhi!
Rock-Byron already wins.
If that happened in America, that poorly taped on picture would have come off so fast.
What does it say?
damnit I want one!!! kawaii
Damn butt trolls always blocking the fun.
lol good one
There should of been a little mirror instead, so you could take a good long look at yourself and consider the mess your life has become.
Yeah, I probably would of looked too.
O.o faints...
I'm interested as to what that says says on the side of the photo. Can you give a possible interpretation? Anyone?
Insta-win!
Catchy
Hahah! Awesome. Gotta love the predictable nature of people. :D
The only thing that would make this perfect is if there was a hidden camera on Haruhi for 24 hours. You could use the footage for a game show. And we all know we wouldn't put it past Japan to do something like that. Their game shows are 10 times better than anything here.
It says "ankuraa", I have no idea what that means, it's probably cut off.
I want one!, or at least a Fathead version.
Haruhi next to C. Schilling...no?
Why would they even bother constructing the statue with panties in the first place? (Oh wait, I lived in Japan...so why ask?)
Anyone caught on their knees in front of it just worships Haruhi as God. ;)
@DaveKap:
ローアングラー
Apparently that's an abbreviation for "Low Underground," which supposedly has something to do with trying to take up-skirts of booth babes and whatnot.
@Brian Ashcraft:
I thought ローアングラー was supposed to be "low angler" as in the view up skirt views.
It says "Low Angle."
lols pwned by Yuki.
I'm surprised someone doesn't make off with the thing at night or something like that. Come on, that thing may as well have a big 'steal me' sign on it.
@暇人:
Hrm. Maybe! But I'd think they say something like アングル (angle), but I could be wrong.
Hate that Katakana!
@cheez:
That is just the perfect icing on this fantesticle news.
It would've been funnier if it was a Kotaku Pointing Fish :)
I think hiding a pipi under there would have been a betetr shock.
Oh, i expected to see the michelin man...
@Brian Ashcraft:
You're right, angle is アングル, the ラー makes it a noun though, "angle" to "angler", Japanglish.
@Brian Ashcraft & 暇人: Interesting. And funny. Thanks you two!
You people and your ability to fluently speak and read/write Japanese piss me off.
I'm not learning fast enough!
@Atheist Jew:
On a different note; My cousin asked me for an example of oxymoron earlier today.
Just thought I would share that with you poster.
They should have used a picture of cover cat.
@fyren: I encounter this all the time. An Atheist Jew is not an oxymoron, because Judaism is considered by and large to be both an ethnicity and a religion. Thus it is possible to be both Jewish and an Atheist. Some famous Atheist Jews include comedian Louis Black, John Stewart, Isaac Asimov, the magician Teller, and Victor Frederick Weisskopf.
Tell your cousin you were wrong.
hey could be worse could have been a picture of Kyon under there
Brilliant, simply brilliant!
Gotta show this to my friends.
Haha, I would have looked too. rofl, I need to learn japanese too, sigh.
@暇人:
b(^ ^)
And um... how did you get this picture?
@Jesse in Japan: From the Akiba Blog website. Notice the watermarks. ;D
xD
This made my morning
Why not simply have put bycicle shorts on the statue.I do think it's a fekkin riot that obviously most Japanese males wouldn't be able to help themselves from "sneakin' a peek" of an anime inspired mannequin.
Hey, It's Pillow Pants!
Seriously though, wtf are pervs looking up some plastic figure's skirt for anyway? Too sad.
@j13:
same reason why they look up skirts on plastic figures...
/me lowers head in hot tears of shame....
She looks like some kind of alien in 3-d. I guess that dance is to distract you before the finger probe.
Hmm. Alien tampering would explain a lot about Japanese modern commercial culture.
Lots of anime characters with big heads and eyes, the "kancho" rectal invasion...
Heh, this is great.
Heh, Thats no way to treat God. Yuki, doesn't approve. I'd feel sorry for the guys who'd actually try to catch an up-skirt of a plastic statue. Hot tears of shame, indeed.
Hah, that's awesome.
It would be more funny if the skirt was rigged with a soundalarm and when lifted then a voice would scream something like "Skirt lifter" out.
That is clever and full of win!
