SobaPunk

So, in my crawling through the tubes of the interwebs, I get little ads that are supposed to appeal to me. Often they do.
I just got this one:
"Buy Punk Japanese Noodles
All Natural Matcha Green Tea Soba Japanese punk clothing & Foods
www.sobapunk.com"

Well I'm fucking interested. Tea? And noodles made of...strips of thinly sliced Ramones records?


"Healthy punk life sobapunk noodles=buckwheat green tea taste noodles!"



"SOBAPUNK want to create you more healthy & punky!!
Go! Punk! Go! Health!"

They also make a punk necktie for those punks( read: Punx) with office jobs(or an Avril Lavigne fetish).
The necktie comes fully outfitted with safety pins, random stitching, not 1 but 2! useless zippers, a patch, and some fishnet fabric strips.
SWEET JESUS, i'll take 7! One for every day of the week.
I'm just not sure I get it. The clothes would certainly fly off the shelves at Hot-topic in Annapolis. The noodles are delicious I'm sure. And healthy too.

But I don't catch the correlation...I read on.
They tell you!

"SOBA makes PUNK more COOL!!!"

Of course! Why didn't I think of that.
shit....if I had me some SOBA back in school, I might not have gotten my ass repeatedly handed to me for hating the ever-loving FUCK out of Metallica.

One of my favorite things about English-language marketing in Asia was how they would phonetically put shit on greeting cards according to how it sounds. There was this ornate card, all raised silver embossment, very elegant, thick white paper, a picture of a wrapped gift on the front in silver plating. Inside?

HERPE BURSTDAY!
