The sea of chanting, nearly-naked men tussle, push and shove towards the shrine. "Washoi! Washoi!" they yell - let's go, let's go.

For those who don't want to read the article: Apparently no one is actually naked at this naked festival. The dudes wear loincloths, and the women wear a special robe.

I wondered about this as I know very little about Japanese culture, but understood it to have some hangups on public nudity.

Anyway, this reality ruined my joke about pixelated genitals.
