Mother's Day gift: baby drop off service

Just in time for Mother's Day!

Japan's Jikei Hospital has launched something new. Called the "cradle of storks", it's a drop-off service for women who don't want their infants anymore. Works like this: mother decides kid is way the hell too much trouble and is interfering with life better spent singing in karaoke bars, drives the Mazda to the hospital, walks up to mini-door inset into the wall, dumps baby in there, drives away, celebrates at Benihana with sushi and sake, finally commits ritual seppuku disembowelment. Photo of the baby hatch at left.

It brings a tear of joy to my left eye--I can't help but be a bit sentimental, dontcha know.

BABY HATCH! Most appropriate, and excellance unsurpassed, as well!

one thing though, Nige...

I'm not aware of 'ritual seppuku disembowelment'.

Is that at all related to the time-honored 'Japanese Bukkake Ritual for Village Men'?
