His brass-rimmed black eyes settled over a leering, open crack of a mouth, Mr. Wilson likes nothing better than to hold a towel between his lips as he silently watches you bathe.

    Obligatory: OM NOM NOM!

    Isn’t Wilson a company that makes tennis balls?
    Pac-Man was brought to us by Midway, though he’s now owned by Namco.

    Anyway, I don’t think this is a foolish gadget, as long as he doesn’t spit up your towel in anticipation. He’s almost grinning…

    he looks like he’s vommiting blood, which, for some disturbing reason, makes the whole thing more appealing to me.

  3. Halloween Jack says:

    He’s the offspring of Mr. and Ms. Pac Man that they don’t like to talk about.

  4. OM says:

    …Claiming it’s a tennis ball prevents a lawsuit from Atari over the obvious Pac-Man similarities. Maybe.

    Is this supposed to be like Wilson from Tom Hank’s Castaway?

    If so the FAIL
