Yes folks, this is exactly what it looks like. It's the annual "Baby-Cry Sumo" contest, held in Tokyo, where babies face off against each other in a battle to the high-pitched finish. The contest is thought to bring good health to its pint-sized participants. I've spared you the audio that could have accompanied the gallery of photos below--you can thank me later.




















I fail to see how a screeching baby is good for your health. But that's one of many reasons I love Japan.
