SONIC THE BALLOON ANIMAL SPOTTED AT “AOU 2010”
Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to see a balloon animal version of Sonic The Hedgehog? No? Well fuck you. You do what we say until you turn 18.
“I attended AOU 2010 last Saturday and I thought you might like to see where SEGA of Japan is putting its marketing money: balloon animals.”
“Also have another one of the Sonic suit without people gawking at it should you need it” – Danny.
No thanks, Danny. You have already provided more than enough. And thanks for persevering and thanks for sending in six 4.3MB photos even though we’ve only used the three.
We would’ve turned around and walked away from the venue, after being confronted with that logo.

Is Sonic the balloon animal trying to give himself a blowjob?
Impressive!

Now THAT is FUCKING AMAZING.
I ‘entertain’ my kids by making a deformed yet somehow tediously uniform balloon ‘dog’ thing. I’ve clearly got to get loads of practice in to reach that stunning level.
Mind you, the more effort I put into the balloon creature, the more the little shits enjoy stamping on it, so I may well not bother

I’d love to put that green stick way up that tosser’s arse for thinking he’s the big cheese with his stupid stilts. Actually, I’d put those way up his arse, too.

This place is depressing. The relentless jaded corrosive cynicism is being spread about too promiscuously. Choose your targets carefully, don’t just say everything is crap.

Still is, though.

I agree with you Constable London but there’s really not a thing we can do about that AOU mascot.
Positive things, positive things… Well first up the size of the pictures is impressive. Secondly, I actually think this is one of the better Sonic suits I’ve seen in a while. Sega obviously think so too because they appear to have assigned a minder who standing in the background suspiciously eyeing the child’s interaction. It’s hard to tell but I can see he has a German flag on the arm of his jacket and what looks to be a sub-machine gun slung over his shoulder. No doubt ready to gun down any errant child who insists on kicking Sonic up the bum while he’s trying to take his lunch break. Finally, in regards to the balloon man, although it’s unfortunately only part of a costume to make him look bigger, I applaud the wearing of a top hat to any special occasion.
Also, Sonic is not trying to ‘blow’ himself, his penis is blue and can be seen in the second shot.

He’s not wearing stilts those are just standard Japanese platform shoes. Same functionality as a PS2 for Tom Cruise.

I’m sure drawing eyes on sonic is some kind of nefarious balloon animal cheating.
Either way – nice try, but he’s still got a long way to go before he can top that truly amazing papier mache sonic from a while back.
