Interesting article on the "cute Cthulhu" phenomenon, in which the author ties it in to Hentai and Tentacle Porn.
Edit: And did I mention the article has a really nice tentacle-rape-while-sinking-in-a-blob pic?

Re: Cthulhu is not cute
For those who long for the Lovecraft-era Cthulhu, let's de-neuter the old boy:

Re: Cthulhu is not cute
I have no idea what that thing is and I'm not sure that I care what it is either. But that dark green plush toy is SO CUTE!
No. I shouldn't...I really shouldn't...I already got a big Pink Panther, a Weenie Beanie (Beanie Baby weiner dog) and a stuffed weenie footlong that really barks if you squeeze it. Hey. I got to remember my dear doggie somehow (rest her warm, furry and cute soul).
My Beanie Bat is totally cute, and those little furry fluorescent green aliens are so adorable when you put them all on a shelf en masse.
Got a kick out of the Mommy Tentacles cartoon too. Maybe that kid had a nightmare from cuddling one of those things.

Re: Cthulhu is not cute
The C is pronounced as K, then a TH, then U pronounced as OO in "ooze", the 2nd H is nearly silent, so L(h)U as in "loop"
so, 'kth-OO-loo' with accent on the 2nd syllable.

Are those three things (okay, Cthulhu must be the greenie), about to merge adorably in a cute group hug?

You don't need to pronounce "Cthulhu", you should just say "fhtagn!"

We pronounce it very differently in Russian... Like, "Ktool-hoo"
There’s so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Re: Cthulhu is not cute
See how insidious it is? The Hello Kitties hypnotize with their irresistible cuteness and their purring, lil' Cthulhu sings in your mind of the blackness behind the stars, and they all wrap themselves around you, warm fur and kitty paws and tentacles. . .
