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).

Zoos are nice, but after a while the experience becomes pretty predictable. Look, it's a monkey. And another monkey. And oh, God, they're doing that thing to each other again. Enter: A snow storm!

Are zoos even open during snow storms? No matter. If a panda plays in the snow at the zoo and there's no one there to see it, it's still totally worth watching. Who doesn't want to watch a panda brave a brutal snowstorm? Or watch it eat bamboo in a snowstorm and act like nothing's happening?
