The Afro-met… Only in Japan

Funny, Product Plugs


(what caption could I possibly put here?)

Do you refuse to wear a helmet for fear of “helmet hair”? Do you not wear a helmet because you love the feeling of the wind blowing through your lovely locks? Well, our Japanese friends have a solution for you… AFRO-MET!

What you got there is a half helmet with a big ‘fro stuck on it. Now, no more helmet hair because you don’t have to take your helmet off AND you can still have that “wind in the hair” effect ALL while being modestly protected from low impact head injuries.

This scoop is brought to you by AKI who explains the real reason for such an invention:

In Japan some of young person like 70′s USA disco sound
pops and like there style,This helmet price about 4,500yen
(37.5US$)

So…$37.50 for the hair by itself or $59.00 installed on the helmet… a bargain at any price for those people wanting to kick it like Shaft… or Ronald I suppose.

Thanks again to AKI for the scoop! (We love Japan scoops ’cause their the loopiest scoops.)

    Danny’s mom used to ride her Honda around with a blonde wig glued to the outside. She even had a name for the wig…can’t remember what it was though. Might have a picture of it laying around somewhere.
