I’ve been seeing this for the past couple of days, but now it’s apparently everywhere:

I’m sure I won’t be the first to point out that absent an actual (and probably fatal) hole in the head, what they’ve got there are forehead bialys, not bagels.
“Coffee, tea or my forehead?”
Boy, I need one of those like I need a… oh, nevermind.
I can’t tell you how much I wish I’d never seen that.
This. All they need is a little minced onion.
Me, too. That there is one gross, disturbing fashion trend.
I want to pop it. With a big knife.
New: OXY-500…!
Because you couldn’t drain that thing with an oil derrick, even if Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck were on board…
Obviously a Klingon conspiracy- get their minions to accustom us to the forehead swellings, then soon, their masters will be able to sneak amongst us unnoticed…
I gather that, before the administrator depresses the center with a thumb, producing the bagel “hole”, the thing is basically a big mound on the forehead, making it look as if you got whacked in the head with a baseball bat. Or had the World’s Largest Zit.
The one good thing is it isn’t permanent. Although I wonder how much the shops charge for a 100 cc of saline that will be absorbed in 24 hours?

And then when they’re 50 their foreheads will be sagging over their eyes.
I can already see the next step. Forehead molds. For that authentic Klingon look.
This isn’t the only place people get saline “implants” for a temporary embiggening, but it’s the first non-fetish use I’ve heard of. Apparently there’s a subculture of people who go in for scrotal enlargement this way. And it’s been done for female breasts as well (I’m surprised that isn’t more popular).
It seems to me the potential is there for cellulitis, no matter which body part you’re inflating with salt water. Having had cellulitis* and spent a couple of days in the hospital getting treated for it, I can definitely say it’s not a pleasant experience.
*Not for wantonly injecting saline into myself, but from a sinus infection.
No, no, it’s OK, Cal.
We know it was from following a Japanese fad for young trendy people.
You can be honest with us.
Sometimes, all you can say is “Japanese pop culture is kinda weird”.
It looks much more Cardassian than Klingon.
I’ll file this under, “Thing other people do to themselves on purpose that I would be terribly upset if it happened to me accidentally.”
Sounds like a geat way to shave a few seconds off of your marathon time; no more slowing down to drink. Somebody tell Ryan. . .
I want to stop the ones who want prosthetic foreheads on their heads.
Looks awful, donut?
