Will Doig at The Daily Beast decided to do a little investigative research into the field of Zentai, a popular Japanese practice of "cocooning oneself head to toe in a skin-tight bodysuit." The type of bodysuit used by Charlie in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

Some of Doig's subjects claim that Zentai brings them the comfort of feeling wrapped in a "full body security blanket." And who are we to judge?

Well, we're the Internet. And when people wear full-bodied suits showcasing bumps, nubs, nooks and crannies (and other things that look like grapes) without revealing their faces -- like an iPod commercial, but NSFAnyone -- the internet's core is shaken, not stirred. Urlesque, however, has chosen to merely report and let you decide.

And with that said, here are some smokin' hot vids of Zentai in full effect on YouTube (a public forum in which users knowingly upload material for all to see).

In the purest form of internet fun, Jabba the Hutt gets mashed up with the introduction to television show, Parks and Recreation. Why, you ask?

President Barack Obama is postponing his long-scheduled Asian trip for a few days to make a final push for passage of historic legislation reinventing the health care system.

In one chair sits a rural retiree, his financial security shot in the slump, a humble Southerner who's never thought much about politics. In another seat is a born Northerner, an inner-city native, a relative of a civil rights giant. And nearby, circling a table, are an economist, an artist, a onetime John McCain supporter and a long-haired guy who's rich in Woodstock memories.

Utah's House majority leader says he paid a woman $150,000 to keep silent about going nude "hot-tubbing" with her when she was minor a quarter century ago.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's wife and daughter were hospitalized Thursday after they were involved in a car accident, according to Reid's office.

Health care reform takes center stage Thursday as President Obama and top congressional Democrats work behind closed doors to nail down a final agreement.
