In Japan, Hadoken is the new planking

We are often asked about the difference between a trend and a fad. Trends are differentiated from fads primarily by longevity. While fads may come and go as quickly as a "flash in a pan," trends are longer lasting and often herald more permanent cultural change. While fads can be fun, only trends are stable and enduring enough to move society and build a business plan around. Hadoken, my friends, is a fad. People take still photos of themselves looking like they are repelling an attack, Ninja style, based on moves from the popular manga and anime series Dragon Ball. See the link for more images.
