Japan has a new fad on its hands, though one that hopefully won't be exported any time soon.  In the last month alone, 60 people have committed suicide using a mixture of detergent and other chemicals, a recipe that is currently making the Internet rounds. Add this recent trend to Japan's current #1 status as a country with the most suicides and you have something bordering on epidemic.
