Addiction's Grip and Peter's Head

I'd like to tell you about my friend Peter.  He has a problem.  A Japanese Pop-Culture problem.

For weeks Peter's been hanging out in the back corner of Borders sitting indian style and reading semi-pornographic Japanese Manga comic books.  I was a little concerned, but I

 thought "Hey, at least it's not Dungeons and Dragons.  It's not like he's in to the HARD stuff."

Little by little he began to withdraw.  I'd try to put something on his head and take a picture, but all he wanted to do was read his Manga.  Still I wasn't worried.  Even when he bought that Scion I thought it was just a "faze" he was going through.  He'd say things like "It's cool", and "I've got everything under control", and "Just 'cus I like to do a little Manga it doesn't mean I have a problem."  I wanted to believe him--I really did.  But that all changed when I saw this:

Yes, it's an unsexy man dressed like a sexy female cartoon character .  It was in his Trapper-Keeper.  

I looked away in tears.  But tears soon turned to denial.  It's not like he's in his bedroom late at night filming his comic book collection and putting it on youtube, right? Wrong!

The following is the nerdiest thing I've ever seen:

I think things are getting bad.  These photos have recently fallen into my possession.  I think it's time for an intervention.
