Did Uniqlo know what it was doing with this Pokémon Magikarp t-shirt slogan?


The slogan on this new Pokémon t-shirt might make people think about what goes on behind closed doors.

I'm not sure about you, but whenever I'm scrolling a property owned by Meta (that's Facebook or Instagram, for the most part), I get advertised these 'splash blankets' that promise to be 100% waterproof and provide clean, dry sheets 'no matter what accidents might happen'. It pays homage to the lil' fish with a lot of potential's signature move, splash (which, famously, does nothing in the video games). Elsewhere in the collection, there is an absolutely gorgeous Snorlax sweater in a nice deep blue that is quite understated, stylish, and doesn't - at first glance - make any sort of reference to what you might get up to behind closed doors (unless there's a Lazy Press entry on Urban Dictionary I've yet to be subjected to).
