The trendiest thing in Japan is to inject saline in your forehead while depressing the point-of-injection with a finger. It temporarily creates a doughnut-like deformation on one’s forehead and apparently makes you the hottest thing among people that like to take pictures of strange things and post them on the internet. I have no explanation for this trend other than just typing ‘Japan’ and referring to the fact that they created Mechagodzilla. Those guys can get away with anything. Who else could sell a concept of two Italian plumbers using giant green tubes to warp through the fabric of time and space only to use raccoon feathers to save the life of a princess from a giant, fire breathing turtle? You can take all the salvia in the known universe and still not develop a story as cooky as that. Ultimate Fighter contestant Ryan McGillivray requires no saline injections. Based on his recently acquired broken nose, the dude will be the hottest thing in Japan. This is what happens when you’re kneed in the nose while you’re training and it breaks in twenty-two places.
