AP - An 18-year-old Mississippi lesbian student whose school district canceled her senior prom rather than allow her to escort her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo said she got some unfriendly looks from classmates when she reluctantly returned to campus Thursday.

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).

A mouth is an awesome apparatus capable of so much more than just swallowing, or teeth art, or some combination of the two.

We know about its power to lay down tight beats via parakeets. We know it allows Fran Drescher to make out with her pomeranian. We know it's a perfect vessel for a parasitic demon shrimp. And then there's this.

But we had no idea it could identify an array of "Star Wars" mini figures. A German girl named Sophia Heesch knew though. She proved it on the German TV show, Wetten, dass..?, last month.

Check out the video after the break.


Watch as her tongue carefully navigates the perimeter of Clone Wars' Yoda's head as it tries to determine if this might be just a Yaddle red herring. Anguish in the suspense of Sophia's family's tension at each guess. Wonder at the amount of people who attend a live viewing of a girl determining the identities of "Star Wars" figurines with her mouth:



Also wonder how she does it.

Does a Clone Wars Yoda taste like Tuna Jarjare?

High five.

In the race to the bottom that American politics has become?the only question is which party will be less popular going into the November election?Obama's been written off so completely that the Democrats' electoral prospects may be starting to look up simply because they can't drop much lower.

Simmering tension between the White House and U.S. Supreme Court spilled into public this week when Chief Justice John Roberts labeled the political atmosphere at this year's State of the Union address "very troubling."

It's become clear that the behavior toward his subordinates that got former Rep. Eric Massa into trouble in Congress is part of pattern that dates to his time in the Navy.
