I read the title and thought instantly “Japan”. Got it right in one try.
His willingness to suffer is remarkable, according to the source article he was in the drain for 5 hours.
“His hair got caught at the edge of the grate,”
What an amature!
Yasuomi Hirai, 28, allegedly hid in a drain under a Kobe, Japan sidewalk
grate to peep up the skirts of women as they stepped over.
He was presumably also peeping up the skirts of men, as well, since he wouldn’t know which until afterwards.
He wants to come back as a sidewalk in the next life? I guess his creepiness is… cemented
At least he wasn’t peeping from inside a tank of shit in a porta potty.
Time to dig this out again.
I came to say, “He’s not Japanese???”
He’s Japanese.
This behaviour is really plumbing the depths…
Golden, showers…
Now that’s just grating.
he wants to be reincarnated as “part of pavement in the next life.”
Agreed
I would’ve gone with Tadashi Sakurai from GTO ( List of Great Teacher Onizuka characters - Wikipedia ) …I’d forgotten the more recent real-world analog.
I see a headline like this:
And I immediately want to add something like “Pavers hate him! This one weird trick will get you all the upskirt shots you want!”
well…I guess it’s better than being Oasis in the next life…
People are weird. Japanese people are weirder.
At least down there, he doesn’t have to bring kleenex.
Woah, woah, when BB does it it does it “ironically”…
However, I am wondering if the “Downworthy” anti-viral headline plug in is still available…
[quote=“doctorow, post:1, topic:20570”]Downworthy is a Chrome plugin
that converts hyperbolic headlines from viral mills into sarcastic –
and > much more realistic – semantic equivalents…
“You Won’t Believe” becomes “In All Likelihood, You’ll Believe”

I don’t know, he seems like a grate guy! 
Dunno, considering the various outhouse/porta potty peepers the US has had. But, on the other hand, Japan probably has a manga and an anime staring Upskirt Man or some such.
