Oh, Japan!

So apparently in Japan, women spend money to have cosmetic dental procedures to have their teeth look like this:

In Japan, this crooked, exaggerated canine look is called yaeba, and it's considered cute and desirable.   In the US, we call that a jacked up grill, and we spend lots of money so that our teeth don't look like that.   Apparently, this particular pattern of crooked teeth is somewhat common in Japan, and the Japanese have decided to embrace it instead of striving for perfectly straight teeth like we do in the States.  That's actually rather nice, although it sucks that women with straight teeth are having false yaeba applied.  It's just further proof that beauty standards are arbitrary as hell.

Let's just hope that the Brits don't do something similar.
