I should state that I have no problem with people lying around naked of there own accord, but I do mind when a person doing this loses their humanity in the eyes of the observers, which in this case I'm sure will happen. As for this being a common practice in Japan, there are a lot of practices that many people would consider odd that are performed there. I do know that different cultures have different practices and that such practices should not be approached with

lovely response, well written. my applause. i dunno, posing as inanimate objects might be fun. i may have to start out small and work my way up to "platter" impersonations. i'm going to practice impersonating a rock in my room tonight and see where that takes me. trying to build up a resume.
