In a culture as simultaneously ancient and modern as Japan’s, it is not entirely surprising to see people amid the suited throngs of business folk wearing the traditional yukuta whilst surrounded by modern Tokyo’s intense neon glow. Yukata have been donned for thousands of years in Japan, getting their start as an after-bath wrap for members of the aristocracy and eventually evolving into a comfortable summer-worn style, as suitable for a day perusing the markets as a casual night on the town.

Sex with Vegetables PETA Superbowl ad
PETA is trying hard to convince the average American to stop eating meat, and they think they've hit on the perfect ad: combine sexy lingerie models with vegetables, hint at sex, and air the commercial during the Superbowl.

Success! Or is it? NBC rejected the ad, calling it inappropriate, which it probably is for a nation that blew a gasket over Janet Jackson's exposed nipple
