Giraffe with Shovel

Not sure who thinks up of these things, but last week I spotted these giraffe themed barricades a the construction site near my office. These appear to have been manufactured by the same company that makes the Hello Kitty barricades. At least the giraffe has a shovel instead of a rainbow and is ready to work!

Cutest Ever Hello Kitty Traffic Barricade in Shinjuku

Not sure what to say about this... Traffic and construction barricades are common all around the world. There are many other novelty types that other have spotted in Japan, but this is the first that would require some a licensing agreement. Thinking about this (especially the business and safety decisions made by the manufacturer and construction company ) make my head hurt with cuteness and confusion.
