WE DON’T MIND telling you that this sort of thing wouldn’t be for us.

This is the latest trend in body modification – something called ‘bagel heads’. Apparently big in Japan, the trend involves allowing a saline solution to build up in someone’s forehead before a thumb is pressed firmly into the resulting bulge.

Nope, us neither.

(Other trends featured in this TV series – National Geographic’s ‘Taboo’ – include balloon infatuation, ‘negotiated infidelity’, and something called ‘muttrimony’.)
