Xiao digicam ads – poop or prints?

You know that new camera from Takara Tomy that features a little Zink printer that pops 2x3in photos out one end?

Well, the new TV commercials just hit Japan and Takara seems to have been up a little too late thinking of a theme.

What they came up with was to stick arms and legs on the cameras and have them, er, defecate the pictures out as if they’re constipated. Seriously.

I have no idea if that’s going to help the company shift $350 5-megapixel digital cameras, but it’s brightened up my morning. See for yourself at the link below.
