The Japanese government has just announced the nomination of anime character Doraemon to a position they have created especially for him: the little robot cat will now be working as "anime ambassador" of Japan to, well, the rest of the world. Which means-us! Yeeaah!! And this picture is, like, sooo cuuute!!! One can definitely not accuse the Japanese of taking themselves too seriously. I mean, would you imagine U.S. president George W. Bush shaking hands with Mickey Mouse like this, or even French president Nicolas Sarkozy mingling with a group of Shadocks? See full article on cnn.com here.
