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).

Sometimes, YouTube reveals magical stories of weirdos and exhibitionists. For example, this video provides us with a peek into the world of "erotic garbage," I guess (?), in which one gentleman's poking at a close-up of a pile of trash is meant to tickle your parts or something? I dunno, but it's weird enough on its own that you could be like, I get it, YouTube. This is your "thing."

But then we are treated to a silent nod and smile from the film's auteur which will definitely give you a case of the Old Guy Shudders. And then, to bring the piece to Le Fin, it's revealed that we're inside a Panera Bread or something. So that's how life is these days.
