Bagel Head saline injection, WTF? The Japanese have resorted to perhaps the stupidest body mod fad of all-time in their perpetual pursuit to “out-weird” the rest of the world, reports Manolith.com.
They have published a photo of people who look like they are suffering from progressed brain tumors.
Read more and see the shocking photo here.
Really stupid.

How stupid!! Is this reversible? I mean saline solution is similar to salt water. Does the body absorb the liquid eventually and if it does, what happens to the sodium levels in your body? This is not good.

Stupid and ugly. Why,why.why?

If this does dissolve eventually, I wonder if the skin is so stretched that you end up with a Klingon forehead – - -

I have spent (accumulatively) years in Japan. I love it. It is a repressive culture in many ways, and one which discourages individuality, and its expression. These young people are simply breaking free of cultural convention, and in Japan this will always go to some extreme form. Be amused.

No more stupid than breast implants that need to be replaced every six to ten years, just more obviously stupid.

Anyone else notice that all the pictures on line of this is always the same two guys? 2 idiots does not a trend make…. at least I hope not. I went to 4 or 5 different posts of this story and each time it was the same guy or 2 guys in the picture.

I agree with Phil, I was lucky enough to work with Mitsubishi Heavy Ind. awhile back and found the Japanese people I worked with very kind and respectful. They were proud yet humble, as far as I could tell, not speaking the language myself. This was in the late 80′6 early 90’s and at that time ( in Japan ) they didn’t even lock thier doors when they went to work. And the work ethic…outstanding. There were ( American )guys on our crew that would show up hung over or lagging and they ( the Japanese ) took it all in stride. Nice folk not to be judged by a few loose screws. What if they only met Paris Hilton and Wierd Al?

Skin is not a rubber band. We stretch the scalp in just this manner, in order to perform a reduction (surgical removal) of bald area prior to hair transplantation.
These idiots are going to be terribly surprised at the result not only in the near-term, but especially as they age.
DON”T DO THIS, KIDS.

Such unbelievably lazy “reportage.” One photograph–ONE–and it’s officially the latest crazy trend from Japan. Absurd. It’s like some idiot is trawling through the pages of Warren Ellis’ Crooked Little Vein looking for something to throw out there. Let me guess–next it’ll be Godzilla wank enthusiasts.

these tards are copying this from some other american tard the was on ripley’s believe it or not as usual the japanese are just copying the moronic americans. we can only hope they get brain tumors, something has to thin the herd.

Japanese culture involves a lot of conformity. The group is more important than the individual. Some of them just get sick of it and go to extremes to counter it.
Anyway, they can be weird, but I wouldn’t say stupid. After all, they sure are beating the pants of the Western world in education. Sure, you can say the West is just as smart but lazy, which is kind of true, but you have to give them credit for getting kids to learn. Of course, a lot of that has to do with the honor system there, and… well, I could go on and on about this.
