Japundit has been running a series on mimikaki, Japanese gadgets designed to remove wax from clogged up ear canals. I'll admit the various vacuums leave me a bit cold (I'm against having any sort of suction-device planted on my head; I keep my brain in there, after all) while other options simply scare me. The bamboo ear picks decorated with cartoon characters (including the omnipresent Hello Kitty), however, I find surprisingly appealing. How can I ever go back to my bland, every day cotton swab knowing I could be cleaning my ears with cuteness? -[Star C. Foster]
