We've had people doing stuff like this in the US for years. I'd guess that this "fad" is overblown and involves a few hundred people at the most, honestly. You don't even want to know where else people inject saline/silicone into...

Harmless. It's saline. Body absorbs it in 12-14 hours.

There are a few risks involved. Like stretching out the skin.

Invented in Canada IIRC, not actually a product of Japan. Still berkeleying weird.

Body alteration is totally cool IMO, but when it becomes a fad, what's the point?

A good example is the art of tattooing. Its art. But if everyone gets the same exact tattoo because its cool it becomes a laughable cliche.

I'm also sensitive to other cultures and their motives, but what makes a donut-head attractive?

By the way.... did anyone else notice the hot chick with kool-aid hair? I would totally " bagel " that E36 M3.

There was one guy who got into sumo wrestling by doing something similar to the top of his head. They had a minimum height requirement and he either injected saline or had a silicone implant temporarily stuck on top of his head to measure up. It beats the previous method of banging a hammer on one's head in the hopes you get a big enough bump.
