After World War II, Japan was physically and economically devastated. Several of its major cities had been all but wiped off the map. Still, Japan found a way to rebuild itself and by the late 1980's, Japan's economy was booming like never before. Then, in 1990, the bubble burst. Apparently it had something to do with inflated real estate speculation and the risky bank loans that went along with it. Weird that that could devastate an economy, right?

Now that we're in the midst of our own economic crisis, we thought it might be a good idea to show you what might be in-store in the coming days, months and years. Like many, you will find yourself tempted to say f*ck it all, I'm going to live in the woods where I will nakedly collect my food, and when it comes time to cook it, I may choose to dress up for the occasion in bondage gear and a horse mask. (Also, this video has gotta be NSFW)


Please, for the sake of the nation and the children who will inherit it, let Dancing man wearing a horse mask cooks wild mushrooms serve as a cautionary tale -- a shining beacon of what not to become. Resist the urge, and if it pulls at you so hard you think you'll burst in two, at least try to only do this stuff on the weekends.
