Idk... they should add in subtitles that girls must do transformation dances nude in public when applying... lol I hear if you scream some stupid slogan about your rightous intentions that cops wont even stop you... like they could catch you even if they wanted to... 7 ft tall neon hair is the perfect way to blend into a crowd.

The site also gives 7 "rul'z" on how to achieve manga hair with their product.

I guess it's hip to square. Confused Atleast I can now have that Yi-Gi-Oh hair just like Jason Foxtrot.

Ha, does anyone remember the band Orgy back in their heyday? They definitely had the manga look goin' on. Laughing Good Lord, this is all pretty sad.

God, I remember that strip. Anyone have the picture, offhand?

I'm not sure whether this prodcut is a stroke of genius or a complete waste of talent.

i wonder if you put a famous anime character (example: let say yugi) on Preparation H i wonder if kids will use it (this is the reason i chose yugi and not someone in efien lied (or some thing of that short) because that would be messed up)

You've got a point.

Wow, the pics are so horrible! And I can only imagine what would happen if your hair hit a doorway; it would break right off! This product cannot be healthy for your hair. Anyway, everybody's seen those street pics of Japanese wearing hair like that on an everyday basis. They don't have special hair crap and neither should we! *I'm so tired right now I feel like I'm imagining all of this... must go to bed now*

The tone of this advert makes me want to dig my eyeballs out with a spork. I hear it being read in this bubbleheaded giggly tone with random fangirl Japanese.

As I posted in my LJ, here's how I imagine the discussion for the creation of this product went:

Guy 1: We've got thousands of gallons of whale spunk we bought cheap!
Guy 2: You idiot! Why in the hell did you buy whale spunk?
Guy 1: I repeat, it was cheap! There has to be something we can use it for. What do the kids like these days?
Guy 1 and 2: Hmmmm...

And thus, Manga Head was born!

Isn't Garnier like out of most people's price range for shampoo anyway?

If this were the 90's, we could've had the Ranma 1/2 Shampoo and Mousse.

These puns should stop here.
