Checking Out

The Japanese just really need to relax. From Wired.com:

Japan is facing an alarming new trend: Websites that explain simple ways to commit suicide with household chemicals have led to several deaths and emergency room nightmares.
I'm all for the Libertarian ideal of letting people do whatever they want with their own bodies, and that includes ending your own life on your own terms. But if you're so incompetent/unimaginative that you can't do that without a website to coach you through it, maybe you should just kill yourself.

It's not real. I found it on someone's photobucket site; he's a photographer and he recreated the scene of what happens when you drink Drano as an homage to the wife of the main character in Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions".

I bet you the movie "Heathers" in super popular in Japan. Or somewhere.
