Cry Babies Anonymous

Well, this is uplifting: Collective crying is the new beauty routine in Japan, according to British Airways High Life, the airline's in-flight glossy. People gather in huge groups to turn on the waterworks—over sad movies, songs, anything really—as a form of stress relief. Publishers and filmmakers are scrambling to produce tear-jerking bestsellers, since most stores now have a “crying corner, stacked with books and DVDs designed to reduce you to tears, and rated accordingly.” So, uh, want to grab a quick cry after work?
