Finger-pokin’ fun

TOKYO —

When it comes to thinking up vaguely creepy toys, Japan really takes the cake. Case in point is the new Tuttuki Bako, a plastic box with a finger-sized hole on one side. Stick in your digit and it magically appears on the screen in front. You can then engage in all kinds of poking, flicking and squashing fun. Our favorite is the Face Stage, where you poke a digital person’s nose until they sneeze. There are also several mini games that let you bounce a panda or squash an amoeba-shaped blob.

I wonder, is it possible to open and clean inside? What if you have sticky or dirty fingers? Let's hope that male people only put in their fingers. Maybe a warning message is necessary: "To prevent injury, don't put in other body parts. " Actually the small picture on the left upper edge can be interpreted in several ways.

Thank you "electric2004", I'm glad there's someone else who's thinking among the same lines as me. What I see in that picture is someone doing something naughty to that squirrel(?), chipmunk(?).
