Was he unstable or just another British tourist behaving badly? Regardless of motive, a British man was arrested after skinny dipping in the moat surrounding Tokyo’s Imperial palace. The naked shenanigans created quite a stir for nearby tourists and security.

The accompanying video featured on the Telegraph’s website is pretty great, but this clip from Japanese television is even better. Sometimes, things simply do not get lost in translation.
