You live in Tokyo and your apartment is eight foot on a side. You can’t have a pet due to the rental restrictions (plus it might damage your priceless collection of Newtype and FRUiTS magazines that line the walls!) but you still crave warmth and companionship (a girl friend is out of the question, as to why refer to the magazine collection plus they never live up to the ones you know in the dating sims).
So stop thinking of collecting hentai mini figs of Sailor Moon and go hit PET LIVE! TV. Here you can watch a little mini zoo of animals frolic and sleep all via web cam. You could get your fix of your favorite online critter anywhere you can get connected to the ‘net. I like the meerkat myself but the ferrets are a close second. You can also catch a few movies of cats and dogs, but where is the fun in that?

BTW, if you click on the ‘So-Net Channel 749‘ logo you go to a programming page where you can browse other ‘odd’ items that are offered to the happy people of Japan. Like ‘Let’s Coke Play Battle Myth‘ and what must be a real must see program, ‘Boy Meets Cooking‘.
You might want to translate these with Excite if your not into the whole Japanese roulette web page thing.)
