Via [livejournal.com profile] ben_fritz, there's a photograph that i find disturbing on at least two levels.  Vide infra a slightly cropped version that is linked to its source.

I would definitely want to recreate it if i were there. I'd just pull passers-by in and stage them taking a picture of me with their phonecams and then have Kim take a picture of it all.

Hmm, the dude says it's way down in Osaka. BUT I KNOW THAT PUB!!11 And my coworker sitting by me recognized it too.

The obvious conclusion is that there is a real pub in Ebisu that exactly duplicates a fake pub in Universal Studios in Osaka.

Japan is weird enough that I could easily believe that this could happen by accident.
