Bandai's Mirai Scope gets Ms. Cleo in your pocket

Not that we'd put any stock in a prognosticator -- digital or otherwise -- but for those looking for a bit of fun, Bandai's Mirai Scope is apt to deliver. Reportedly, this digital fortune teller starts out by dousing you in pixie dust and asking a myriad questions about your personal life. After that, we're told it somehow aligns with galactic bodies and helps you figure out your true purpose in life. Hopefully, it's pretty clear that this thing is marginally more than a novel heap, but hey, what else did you expect for ¥2,980 ($28)?

WTF? I don't get it... Dousing me in "pixie dust" and asking me a few questions and somehow aligns with the stars? And all for $28? How did they get the cost so low?

And does the pixie dust run out? Or is there some "pixie slaves" come in every pack?

Tinkerbell? Are you in there? Speak to me!

Oh, I opened it up and a pixie kicked me in the face and he/she/it flew out of the window. So much for gratitude...

I think the guy in the top left bubble is taking a helping of pixie dust.

Suddenly, the whole aligning of the galactic bodies makes sense ;)

And dude! This reject daughter of a PSP, like, KNOWS the future, man! Far out!
