A Japanese promotion for the film "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep" is threatening to put our favorite Tokyo import in the unemployment line.
Using a fine spray of water, film promoters created a hologram-like image of the watery, equine film star.
Calls to Godzilla's reps were not immediately returned, but close friend Mothra indicated that the radioactive lizard was considering legal action.

Penguins are all the rage these days. Just look at the buzz generated from the documentary "March of the Penguins," and the upcoming animated feature "Happy Feet." It's pretty safe to say that penguins are the "Ninja Turtles" of the new millennium.
So, why stop at features and plush toys? Well, those forward thinkers over at Pioneer will be damned if they are going to sit on their butts and let this flightless bird fad pass them by without getting their piece of the pie. At CEATEC, an electronics trade show in Japan, Pioneer introduced a penguin that will help you become a better driver. Or at least we think that what it does. The Google Japanese to English translation is a bit confusing to say the least.
Actual abilities aside, the Penguin Robot driving thingy is sure to be as important as your GPS navigation device in the battle for dashboard supremacy. Who will emerge the victor? Our bets are on the penguin -- cute beats functional any day.

Homer Simpson's lifelong dream has finally become a reality -- a mechanical alcohol dispensing servant that responds to your every demand ... if your demands are strictly related to the act of beer drinking of course.
Ladies and gentleman, we present the Asahi beer robot. The technological marvel not only cools delicious beer in its refrigerator belly, it will also pour said beer into a mug with all its frothy goodness.
Japanese brewery Asahi gave away 5,000 of these life changing robots as part of a promotion ... a promotion that I'm sure has made them the most loved company in all of Japan.
So get some sushi, throw your favorite J-pop band in the CD player, fire up the Playstation and enjoy a cool refreshing beer poured by your very own beer-bot. Life is definitely great.

Japan got a heavy dose of Britney Spears this week -- and we mean heavy. The very pregnant pop star is shocking people throughout the country, after subway bosses reversed a decision to censor an advertisement showing the US pop diva in the nude.
The advertisement for the October issue of Harper's Bazaar features a nude Spears crossing her arms over her breasts.
Tokyo Metro initially asked the publisher to cover Britney below the elbows as the sight of her naked midriff and thighs was inappropriate for impressionable Japanese youths and more sensitive commuters.
But bosses later back-tracked after the story hit the local headlines, prompting dozens of commuters to contact the subway operator to request the pop sensation be displayed in her full glory.
