I Rented a Friend in Japan For $100

There is a man in Tokyo named Shoji Morimoto, and he makes a full time living by literally "doing nothing." If you pay $100, you can rent him for a few hours, and he will join you around Tokyo to be your companion. Want to grab a beer at the bar? He's in. Want to read a book in the park? He's in. Want to relax at home? He's in. Even though this was one of the strangest experiences I've ever had -- it's actually a pretty neat concept. And I think it can only exist in a country like Japan, where the culture is very lovely and isolated!

Would you ever consider renting Shoji for the day? Or are you too creeped out? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
