				<em>Welcome back to MangoBot, a biweekly column about Asian futurism by <A HREF="http://www.tokyomango.com">TokyoMango</A> blogger Lisa Katayama.</em> While Dr. Wong was putting dental dam in my mouth, I was watching three hot women singing <A HREF="www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRqMKPpln28">the penis song</A> in a Chinese restaurant downtown. It happened last Thursday, when I discovered a gadget that can warp my brain to a blissful alternate reality. That was the day that I had to visit my own personal dystopia, which happens to involve dentist chairs, root canals, and lots and lots of hellacious oral drilling. Though I took an inevitable trip to this dystopia, I miraculously evaded doomsday by using a device that made me forget the pain without any drugs at all.				<a href="http://io9.com/5017983/how-alternate-reality-helped-me-survive-the-dentist" title="Click here to read more about How Alternate Reality Helped Me Survive the Dentist">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
