ICE footage, set to the Pokémon theme
The Department of Homeland Security posts a video pairing arrest footage with the original Pokémon theme song. The Pokémon Company later says nobody asked its permission.
The most powerful communications account on earth stopped writing press releases and started cutting war footage into video-game clips. The internet gave it a nickname. Then Japan — quietly, repeatedly, through diplomatic channels — asked it to please stop using Mario, Pokémon and Naruto to sell a war.
That story broke wide on August 6, 2026. Robinhood Chain minted its first MEMEHOUSE ticker before the news cycle finished loading.
Three things collided. A coin fell out of the middle.
Official accounts spliced real strike footage with video games and cartoons to sell a war. Lawmakers and researchers called it a line-blur between fiction and killing.
Japan's government asked Washington — more than once, through the embassy — to stop reproducing Japanese IP without the rightsholders' consent.
Robinhood Chain did what it always does with a nickname: it made it a ticker. Dozens of MEMEHOUSE launches inside one hour. This page tracks all of them.
Everything below is reported fact with a source attached. The jokes are ours; the record is theirs.

The White House X account intersperses missile-strike video with Nintendo gameplay. A companion post lands a "Wasted" screen — lifted from Grand Theft Auto — over footage of a vehicle being bombed. The memeification of the Iran campaign becomes a story of its own.
A White House post stitches Halo, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball, Top Gun, Iron Man and Braveheart into one pro-war montage. The official Yu-Gi-Oh! account states the creators had no involvement and did not authorise it. Steve Downes — the voice of Halo's Master Chief — objects to being drafted.
“It's inappropriate even for public institutions to reproduce copyrighted materials without the rightsholders' consent.”— Toshimitsu Motegi, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan, responding in parliament to a pro-war video that used Nintendo's Wii Sports.
Cabinet Minister Kimi Onoda says the same principle has been passed to the United States through diplomatic channels more than once. In the same month the President posts an AI-generated video of himself as a Naruto character to Truth Social. A fan-run "Protect Japanese Manga" petition reopens.
Mainichi Shimbun reports that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pressed the request again through the US Embassy in Japan at least twice more in June, warning the posts could damage the IP itself. The story goes global in a day — and the internet stops calling it the White House.
The first MEMEHOUSE ticker deploys. Within about thirty minutes there are dozens of them across pools.trade, flap, Pons and more — same name, same joke, no coordination, one winner eventually. The live board is below.
The whole story is about using art you weren't given. So here's the one rule this site has.
We asked ourselves for permission.
We said yes.
There is not one frame of Nintendo, Pokémon, Naruto, Halo or anyone else's work on this page. Every pixel here — the seal, the house, the icons, the cursor walking out the front door — was drawn from scratch as vector geometry for this site.
It's a cheap joke and it's also the entire point: the complaint from Tokyo wasn't about humour. It was about consent. Making the joke without taking anybody's characters costs nothing.
Every live MEMEHOUSE ticker on Robinhood Chain, ranked by market cap, refreshed on a loop. A hundred people had the same idea at the same time — this is the scoreboard for which one the chain picks.

Details for this site's MEMEHOUSE. Verify the contract against the board above before buying anything.
A swarm launch has no founder and no permission structure — which is, if you think about it, thematically perfect. The chain sorts it out in public.This site tracks the whole board rather than pretending its own contract already won. If and when one MEMEHOUSE is clearly the one, it gets marked OFFICIAL on the floor above.
