It's time for baseball season in Japan, much as it is in America. Here's a sampling of some marketing slogans for the teams across the drink.
When a man, covering himself in (probably) human skin so that he can more closely resemble a baseball asks if he can hold you, the correct answer is to flee and call 911. That's some Ed Gein stuff right there.

"That girl's breasts," by Carson Cistulli
That girl’s breasts distracted everyone at the baseball game. The umpire frequently mistook the count. The pitcher had no cares as to the location or delivery of his pitches. Nor did the batters appear to mind striking out at all. As a sidenote, a TV colorman did make one insightful commentary, as follows: “Though I owe much of my life’s happiness to the splendor of this beautiful and honored game, there are times when we submit to a force beyond our control, no matter how it might compromise our relationship to those things we hold dear. I confess that, at this point, I am entirely invested in the magnanimity of this woman’s bosom and have no further concerns other than just to stare at her chest for as long as I live. And, if ‘as long as I live’ is only for the next minute, it’ll have been worth it, for this moment could span ages if it were judged in terms of truth and beauty, the meanings of which I have just now understood."
