At left: Mr. Burbujas (that's "Mr. Bubbles" to you non-Spanish speakers), mascot of the laundromat at the corner of 24th and Florida streets here in San Francisco's Mission district. At right: Big Daddy, aka Mr. Bubbles, poster child for the videogame BioShock. Maybe I'm crazy, but to me the similarities are spooky. My guess is that they're twins, cruelly separated at birth.
This much is certain: Even if the Hispanic version of Mr. Bubbles isn't entirely accurate, he'll sure as heck help you get your clothes clean. Kind of like the Japanese Homer Simpson.
Read on for more photos of Mr. Burbujas. Are those Little Sisters inside the other washing machines!?

And a view of the building:
What do you think: Separated at birth, or is the Mission district the new Rapture?
