    HEY DEEGAN !!! …………. say CHEESE!!!

  177. BIG

    ( Enjoy, kids.)

    Despite dominating the international technological market, the Japanese haven’t yet mastered some of the more functional aspects of their products.

    —OR—

    In Japan, public urination is not only acceptable, it is also seen as a rare photographic opportunity. Pictured here, renowned photographer Higashino Taka braved the gravitational force field surrounding his native Japan to study this phenomenon in ‘gaijin’, or foreign people. Shunned by a repressed American society and unable to once again permeate Japan’s defenses, Higashino has recently found sanctuary with a small colony of miscreants who share his love of excrement.
