Chibi Vision, the billboard in a backpack

Chibi Vision

The Chibi Vision—a "US-patented brand new advertisement method", no less—is a backpack-mounted TFT screen and some unspecified innards that will play back "DVD, CD, SVCD, MP3, CDDA, JPEG, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW", has stereo speakers, a battery, and so forth. The idea is that you're going to pay its inventors, a shady-looking outfit called Universal Planners, ¥70,000 (or about $640 US dollas) to buy ad-space on one of these for the day, and have someone walk around with it on their back playing your video; in reality, you're just going to laugh at them and spend the money on beer.
