Again via Kolya comes a report of a new product from Japan: Nursery 'Home Theaters'. From the entry:

This is the Disney O-yasumi Ho-mu She-a-tah, which translates as "Good Night, I'm going to project giant cartoon images on the ceiling over your crib and play 'It's a Small World' until you go asleep or insane, whichever comes first."

Through a highly effective combination of sensory stimulation and sleep deprivation, you will turn your child into a lifelong Disney consumer before she's able to roll over. Makes me wonder if Disney isn't behind this whole "sleep on their back" thing, too.

It's available for ￥5299 at Toys R Us Japan, less a ￥1200 rebate for signing over your kid's soul to The Mouse.

Heh. Indeed.
