Have you seen the latest fad for teens in Japan? They are called bagelheads. Teens in Japan are injecting themselves with saline, which causes bumps in their heads. The lumps and bumps created by the saline can be shaped and molded. The teens are calling themselves bagelheads.

The disfigurement only last 24 hours. I have a hard time looking at these teens, and I just hope it stays in Japan and doesn't make it's way over to the states. Will bagelheads be an addition to body piercing, and tattoos in the U.S.? Can lox heads, or cream cheese heads, be far behind? Would you ever allow your child to become a bagelhead? Tell us what you think.

LOL. That is hilarious. If they could have, I bet they would have voted for Obama too.

Sounds like this could be dangerous, or lead to NaCl3 poisoning.

If one of these young geniuses have and accidet which results in a sharp blow to the “inflated area,” would the results resemble a bursting water baloon?

I’m sure alcohol and other substances are involved, with often results in falls and “face plants.”

Even if it is not a “fad”, one must wonder at the lengths people will go to in order to be noticed, to “one up” the current chic bizarre.

I have a 21 YO niece with no job skills, no work history what so ever, no desire to ever be productive. She is probably 1/3 covered in tattoos. (According to her brother) she takes pride in how much she gets in “gifts” from her boyfriend just for sex and how much she gets from another man without the sex. She laughs about how stupid he is to give her what she asks for without demanding sex in return. And yet she would tell you she is “independent”.

When the newness of the latest tattoo wears off, it’s back for another. In the case of these bagel heads, something more extreme will be necessary after this attention getter wanes. Why do so many people go to the extreme of mutilating themselves in order to be noticed, get a little attention? Do we have an entire generation that has such a little sense of self worth? Probably yes.

My, my, my. The first thing I thought upon seeing that picture was Obama. Amazing resemblance, IMO.

In April 2004, Details Magazine published an article written by Whitney McNally entitled “Gay or Asian?”
In the article, McNally expanded upon stereotypical Asian pop culture references and compared Asian men to gay men. Many readers believed that the article showed ignorance and blatant racism, and the article led to protests of the magazine both by Asian-American groups and gay rights groups. As a result of the widespread objection, Details issued an official apology in its May 2004 issue. The writer, Whitney McNally, was not fired from Details but no longer works for the magazine.

<More proof that some people have too much time on their hands

It’s proof of something, all right. Jeez louise. I can tolerate more weirdness than many FReepers, but damn. And of course, this just begs the question - Where do you work when you look like that?
