Spidermongers!
 I couldn't resist.
Sunny and I were in Sungei Wang looking for DVD's on the one day they get raided. The week had been full of seven shades of technicolor poo-poo and my hair was numb.
I needed retail therapy.
But the DVD pirates were hiding their wares, leaving no movies to watch for the weekend. Shit. On a whim, Sunny and I popped up to the 6th floor, the 'T-Hop' floor, which is really just a load of shit. We went to check out figurines, only to find out that one store was 'out for lunch' and the other was 'checking stock'.
The only one open was a tiny Harajuku wannabe toy store with all sorts of cheap Kubrick and bulbous figurines with oversized jaws and sneakers.
That's when I saw the Spider.
Stood there beside a black & white Mickey Mouse and one of the Sailor Moon chicks in a rather provocative pose, Spider Jerusalem stood in nothing but his boots and black boxers, arms outstretched and a look of extreme anger and stress on his face.
I didn't dare ask how much it was. I couldn't find it's box, so it must be a display item only. Sunny asked anyway in Chinese. The woman replied. Sunny turned to me and said,
"Ten bucks."
What?
The Chinese woman then pointed at a basket filled with little Spider Jerusalem's in a cheap plastic wrapping. Did they steal them from the factory? Are Chinese and Japanese kids hip to Spider? Is he up there with Hello Kitty as an Asian loveable? I doubt it. And I don't care. I want Spider. I buy Spider.
Warren Ellis would either be loving it or demanding his damn royalties from the woman.

Great post... can you imagine a talking version?
You press the bulge in his pants, and he spews out trademark sayings such as "A Kenyan man once said to me, 'You can get used to anything when money's involved.' He used to stick mice up his ass for twenty bucks a time."
Even betterm if because of some circuit defect, he spews out the same dialog but in a oriental girls voice...
Ahh, to dream.

A talking version would be kick ass, but who would voice him? Who do you imagine Spider Jerusalem sounds like?

You are in desperate need of a mail order wife from the Far East.
