Sonic the Hedgehog, the veteran video game icon and mascot of the Sega Corporation, is reportedly upset that a German rock singer has copied his look.
Bill Kaulitz, the 19 year old lead singer of a German emo-rock band curiously called "Tokio Hotel," is the latest thorn on the hedgehog's side, who already has enough villains and fashion issues to deal with.
"First Dr. Robotnik, then my mohawk-and-chubby-stubby body phase, and now this," cries Sonic, while sitting through a shampoo-and-rinse treatment at a renown Tokyo salon.
"You know how many hours I had to spend in the gym, at beauty shops and at the plastic surgeon's just to look as good as I do now? To have my limbs, hands, and ears lengthened? To tighten up my stomach and chest? To get new scrunchy socks? To have green eyes, to slenderize my face, and to have my difficult spikes looking as edgy but controlled as they do? It's a heavy commitment to achieve and maintain my looks, like getting all those damn rings all the time.
And now, some teenager who looks like a lost member of the Bangles is biting my style! Dear god, it never ends. Must I continue to drive myself like a slave for the pathetic lack of originality of others?" Sonic heaves an exasperated sigh, rolls his eyes, and waves his hand to signal that he is done talking.
Numerous attempts were made at contacting Bill Kaulitz for a comment. He still has not responded.
