Has to be fake, one way or another. It takes hours to roast a pig.

I’m with Tanya. But that only proves that someone is lying — could very well be that the proprietor is lying to his customers. That actually makes it worse since you would be getting someone else’s pig. (Let’s not go with the sloppy seconds jokes, okay?)

But I don’t think I believe any of this.

Wouldn’t this be more like having your bukkake and eating it too?

…of course it was a lawyer *porking* the pig, further evidence that lawyers will screw anyone.

So at least three Douglas Adams fans here, yes. But as twisted as Adams was, he wouldn’t touch a story this vile with a dead bugblatter beast.

Thank you for pointing out the one thing that’d make me feel better. Of course the story’s fake. Whew.

To think 30 seconds ago I would have said nothing on the Internet could shock me.

I’m surprised no one made a Restaurant at the End of the Universe connection.

austinnelly on September 17, 2007 at 11:24 PM

Can’t believe I missed that.

Of course, I was sort of stuck on the lawyer-doing-pig imagery.

I still love Zaphod’s line (or maybe it was Ford’s): “Let’s meet the meat!”

Humans are capable of all kinds of weird behavior, and Lord knows that extremely wealthy people can find all sorts of creative ways to waste vast sums of money. Like feeding Ted Kennedy, for instance.
-
There is a district in Tokyo (Kanda – 神田) that is (or at least was) famous for restaurants that featured weird food, like snake’s blood and bat stew and such. There used to be a TV show that featured visits to these places.
-
And Roppongi has it’s share of very interesting places – don’t even ask me about that cute girl I met there once…
-
…where was I. Oh yeah…
-
But this story smacks of some sort of parody that has taken on legs of its own. It just doesn’t pass any sort of smell test – pun intended.

I’m surprised no one made a Restaurant at the End of the Universe connection. Arthur Dent makes the acquaintance of the cow (talked to it, not had sex with it) that his steak will be made from. The cow tells him where the best cuts of meat are. Naturally, Arthur becomes quite conflicted after having had a conversation with the cow. No Douglas Adams fans? Ah well.
The sex angle is pretty gross. Gotta give the guy (if this is true) credit on this idea. He’s fleecing people for the honor of boinking a barnyard animal. In the bad old days, that was generally a crime of opportunity perpetrated by the desparate in the darkest hours, albeit for free. I mean, if somebody wanted to pay me a hundred bucks to boink my tennis shoe, hell, I’d let him keep it.
Pork away, pal.

It’s not going to be long before the Interspecies Rights Community will be insisting that the Monospeciesists stop forcing their lifestyle choices on everyone. PETA will be the only nay-sayers here.

As folks pointed out, it takes a full day to roast a pig “whole” as claimed.

This is a place where a staple is raw fish. A slice of pig tartar would be nothing to them. If they are worried about trichinosis, they can roast a small amount quickly like they do for eel.

200,000 yen to 500,000 yen for a chicken

What the sweet and sour heck does a chicken have to do with beastiality?

Nowait. . . Don’t answer that. I’m not sure I want to know.

This is a load of crap. Not only this:

“I was about to vomit,” M says. “It was the same pig that had been squealing just moments before. Now, it had been roasted whole. I managed to avoid eating it by only having salad.”

As folks pointed out, it takes a full day to roast a pig “whole” as claimed.

But the real clincher is the fact that the restaurant would basically have to keep a fully stocked live zoo (with all the accompanying noise, smell, feed requirements, sanitary needs, etc)on the premises and while the beastiality thing might not be a problem, there is no way in hell that the Japanese bureaucracy is going to issue a permit for keeping live animals like that in the Roppongi district!

You know it has to be bad when the S&M chick is grossed out.
