just skip to 26:30 on for the money shot.

So is this an act?

I know there's long been a debate over Masao's authenticity, and most people are/have been under the impression that he is genuine. I, myself, have never really doubted Masao's authenticity. There is, however, something "off" about *this* particular video. The house is too clean, the pizza's too edible, and he makes a lot of obviously tongue-in-cheek jokes (the torture, the mother-in-law, etc).

I'm not saying Masao's always been an act, but I'm wondering if maybe Masao's not "better" now (mental-health wise) and this video is just him goofing around for old-time's sake.

I like his "not enough counter space? use the floor alternatve" but I do miss his use of the off-kitchen bathroom as frequent augment to his "cooking" space.
