While they look odd my experience in Japan was that folks wear these masks pretty much everytime they get a cold anyway, so it's probably not in response to SARS that they have these.

Residents of Hong Kong, always quick to spot a fashion trend, are turning to colorful surgical masks to beat the blues as a deadly virus stalks the territory. Worst. Lede. Ever.

It's OK car_bomb, I'm sure it wasn't your fault, I picked a bad day to leave JavaScript on I guess. Beware, it's a Zupiter thing. Adaware got rid of it, but I am positive it came from the Pop-Up ad on that second link.

Don't forget the Badtz Maru (sp?) condoms! There was a prominent article in the Journal about this on Tuesday... is MeFi slipping? :-)

Pop culture characters have been used for breathing protection before - as in this bizarre WWII vintage Mickey Mouse Gas Mask.
