Strange Japan

Today I decided to post a list of strange Japanese pictures. Japan is definitely the weirdest country in the world.

In my country you'd get beaten up for getting out of the house like this.

Leave those kids alone!

This is a kids product for God's sake!

Nevermind the picture, I want to ask are all Japanese people born with a camera?
Doctor: Ok, we've got the camera! Soon the baby is going to come out. O, oo, here are the feet. (Yeah, Japanese people come out feet first)

If they're all this proud of this activity then I want to go there.

Why would anyone... nvm.

I had a lot more pictures but they were just too dirty to post on this blog.
