May 2, 2007: Crying baby contest with sumo wrestlers



The Mainichi Daily News has this gallery of a hilarious crying baby contest held in Tokyo. They had 84 babies there, all born in 2006, and the winner would the one who cried the loudest. And what did they call it?



Naki Sumo, or, "Crying Sumo".

Doesn't make sense since the Sumo guys aren't crying. It makes as much sense as the rest of it.

The event is supposed to be a sort of prayer for the baby's health and growth, and I suppose you want to get the biggest guys out there to really show them their ideal, get the whole growth thing started.
