Thanko's CEO interviewed: the man behind the USB Mask

Oh man, this has geek Emmy written all over it. Akihabara News had the chance to sit down with the president of Thanko Corporation, Mr Yamamitsu. You know, the man behind the Gold Ingot hub for pirates, USB slippers (more than 10,000 sold!), USB gloves for men and women, USB Mask, and more. Not since Borat has English spoken as a second language been so "very great -- great, great, great." Check the entire video after the break, you won't be sorry.

I think the president is so much cooler than the interviewer, who seems strangely hyperactive.
What is wrong with that interviewer?

Really, French people shouldn't be allowed to speak english!!

It is not likely a Frenchman - most likely the interviewer is a Nordic person of some sort.

Also, you're dumb.

Oh man that's uncomfortable.

That Easydesk Aluminum is the answer to all my prayers!!! I think it is very great!

Wow, I kept thinking this was some elaborate joke. Some prank. But it's not, I'm floored.

I'd say that it probably is a French interviever. The accent is unmistakably french.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2007 12:19PM]

Doesn't the fan system and the holes defeat the entire purpose of those stupid masks? Am I missing something?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2007 12:42PM]

Yeah, he is French... he doesn't say his "h" sounds! And we all know there is no "h" sound if French. Ow do we get to de opital? e is feeling very sick!

The Thanko guy wasn't off the wall and hilarious like I thought he'd be. The interviewer, on the other hand, was pure gold.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2007 5:18PM]

The interviewer might be French Vietnamese. That's my guess.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2007 5:18PM]

To much coffee for you, Mr. Interviewer

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 10th 2007 9:11AM]
