Bagel Head, Really?


Perhaps you’ve heard of this. It has been in the news the past couple of days, but the bagel head is something that I haven’t been able to get off my mind. Picture it, the newest trend in body mutilation/art is a round lump in the forehead with a thumb print in it. Apparently, the lump is made of saline that is injected into the forehead and then at just the right moment someone presses their thumb into the middle of the lump to make an indentation. The body “art” only lasts about a day. The National Geographic Channel did a whole show in this craze (set to air 9/30/12) and CNN’s Anderson Cooper featured it on his Ridiculist. I think the Ridiculist is an appropriate place for the commentary on the phenomenon, after all it is rather ridiculous. Some probably think it looks cool or sexy, but I think it looks idiotic and to go through a medical procedure to look temporarily idiotic is even more asinine. You make the call. Pictures below.
