Poor Piggy



If there's one thing Japablum knows all too well, it's that living with a ticking bomb in your midst is the best way to ensure fiscal responsibility. And Japanese toy giant Tomy is definitely on the same page, because they've just introduced the "Savings Bomb," a piggy-bank-type vessel that explodes if you don't regularly add money to it.

It's apparently meant to encourage folks to stop being so damn greedy and put some money away for later every once in a while. Or even more often than that. There's a pre-set interval (not sure if the owner will have any control over this, but Japablum thinks they shouldn't), and the li'l piggy must be fed or he will explode his inner coinage all over the place.


Kumiko is a greedy bitch and her little piggies know it.
