Creature found in Japanese waters looks like a... photo

OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT?

This above photo was taken at Miyako port. It's a creature that was found 200 meters down, and it obviously looks like something...well, it doesn't quite look like that. And when you flip it over it looks like...oh wow.

The folks at 3yen say that people are calling this a DickSwim. Great name. I feel uncomfortable saying that. Hell, I feel uncomfortable just looking at this thing.

Here's the original blog post by the finder of this strange thing. He also thinks it looks like a...well, you know.

I kind of thought it looked like a metroid.

KagatoTEG

Obviously created by pollution/A-Bomb testing.

And this is just the beginning...

... Just you wait, by the end of next month Tokyo will have mostly destroyed by a Giant Ummm..... err...

....
... mollusc, a Giant Mollusc! I definitely wasn't going to say something else....

Klllok

is... is this thing for REAL?

i mean, just... SRSLY?

did God get so drunk he decided to ACTUALLY make a walking double entendre?

FishyOtaku

Oh god what the hell is this?

syphonicsniper

It kinda looks like a Metroid :P

bahamut

Just to be clear, we're all thinking it looks like a penis with an anus, right? If not, I seriously have issues.

Killrig

@bahamut: LOL, WUT. No, we think it looks like soggy waffles and a shaved prairie dog. You're weird, dude.

ROMaster2

I don't know, but I want to stick my penis in it.

ProtoKnuckles

Totally an evolutionary stepping stone to Metroids.

Mari Hikiko

@Klllok
no way he was only drunk..
he must've also been on meth and heroin

all at once

Dear god!!! Japanese Hentai tentacle rape monsters have become REAL!!!!!!!

nortonantivirus

It obviously rapes women with all of those tentacles. This is Japan people.

This is fake. That thing has to be fake.

JUN

I think that jelly fish that looked like a vagina found a friend!

Kapwan

So is this creature just a marketing stunt for Metroid: The Other M. Or just some bizarre phallus shaped sea creature that's hard to look at.

DR Mexico

Wait, you all think it looks like a dick? I really hope that NOBODY has a dick that looks like THAT.
I think it's adorable and if Japan finds out a way to farm these, I'll definitely buy one.

Mari Hikiko

^you're sick

neko11lover

Oh my God.

The fact that it looks so slick and shiny scares the hell out of me.

Marlin Clock

Doesn't look real if you ask me.

Phishu

I liek it. Do want.

YotaruV

This thing is just "fake" fodder for the internet. It's a Persona monster!

deathbymoe

Slimy ocean creature! I choose you!!

Mistypearl

This is why you should not dump your radioactive old ero-manga into the ocean.

mechwarrior

Some dropped their tainted tenga egg into the water.

MihoChan9

OH GOD!!! Only nature could come up with something so effed up.

Meji

there goes another monsters rampage...

Greetings and Felicitations from the Land of Concrete(tm), Tokyo!

One of my butt-boy minions alerted me to the fact that the Most-honorable Japanator reposted my little "DIckSwim"! Thank you.

bmrskate

Just to clear things up, that is OBVIOUSLY a Metroid with a dick on its head....with some kind of really rancid case of the Clap and the Herp....it's so horrible, but I can't look away. Poor little disfigured Metroid....I'd probably name him Squishy. DickSwim would make him too self-conscious.

Rhys

Someone's found a way to bring people's Spore creations to life.

HoodedMiracle

KILL IT WITH FIRE

Step 1: cut a hole in a sea creature

FifthDream

::throws a Pokeball at it::

ikiryou

Whoa...someone needs to get their money back from that mohel *cringe*.

cpuff94

oh god, why do you make these things, ocean?! WHY?!

Rick777

Oh noes! The Zerg have taken over the sea!

I'm looking forward to reading the full article. I wonder how the learning (programming) compares to work done on using actual neural cultures as computational units water creature(e.g. Potter at Georgia Tech). Simulating the same equations without living tissue would definitely be a nice robustness gain, not to mention size reduction, but AI skeptics will have a hard time denying "intelligence" to an actual brain! :)
