				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">When you think of Japan, you think of serene temples&#8230; succulent sushi&#8230; and horribly fluorescent light wrestling matches? Apparently now you can.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2168" title="japanese_neon_fight5" src="http://www.tofugu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/japanese_neon_fight5.png" alt="" width="590" height="401" /></p>
<p>I think that we can all agree that doing battle with fluorescent lighting is a bad idea, but that certainly didn&#8217;t stop the Japanese. I think <a href="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/12/01/fluorescent-tube-fighting/">Neatorama</a> says it best: &#8220;It’s like WWF meets WTF&#8221; &#8230; with extra emphasis on the <em>WTF</em> part.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t even know what to say about this, so instead of saying anything at all, I&#8217;m just going to post pictures. It&#8217;s up to you to tell the world what you think, because I don&#8217;t think I can think anymore.<span id="more-2037"></span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Seriously, this has to be either a prank or a scene from a Takashi Miike film. I&#8217;m pretty sure if these guys don&#8217;t die form inhaling shards of glass, they&#8217;ll die of something a bit more cancerous. I like how they tie the rods together, too. Maybe so the fluorescent rods don&#8217;t break while they&#8217;re being swung? Anyone know what it&#8217;s like to get one of these things broken over your head?</p>
