Here’s perhaps the saddest and most shameless attempt to date to cash in on this year’s soccer World Cup, which England of course shall win. It’s in the form of a mutt-shaped duster for your PC screen with a soccer ball thrown into the bargain.

You, the lucky consumer, get the choice of scoring either an “obedient, loyal, alert” Shiba Ken or a dopey old English Labrador, both weighing in at 80g and ¥1,200.
