Information about the opening of the world's first restaurant for cannibals in Japan has spread throughout almost all the media, not to mention all kinds of informational Internet resources. But let's follow the origin of this spicy, exciting, but in fact fake news.
Cannibalism in Japan? Yes, easily …
First of all, this was facilitated by the fact that Japan is really not an ordinary country, and, frankly, it is completely different from the Western world, where, according to the Europeans themselves, including the Russians, anything can happen, any absurdity and phantasmagoria … After all, our imagination is striking that in the Land of the Rising Sun there are practically no sexual crimes, however, cuddling in crowded public transport with girls with openly sexual intentions is so common here that the authorities of megacities even have to, for example, install carriages in the metro. for women.
That is why the news that the first restaurant for cannibals "Edible Brother" has opened in Tokyo may have shocked a person of European mentality, but did not in any way alarmed, but could this be at all? And then in the article, as it were, it is mentioned in passing that cannibalism has been allowed in the Land of the Rising Sun since 2014. Moreover, the Japanese were allegedly practically allowed to sell their "edible bodies", for example, who were in fatal car accidents, thanks to which their closest relatives receive compensation for this in the amount of 35 thousand eurodollars from one hundred to one thousand Eurodollars per serving).
Further - more and more convincing. It turns out that the first person who visited this remarkable Tokyo restaurant was a resident of Argentina, who was very pleased with the sophistication of the dishes and the high level of service of this unique catering establishment …
In general, information about an unusual restaurant was increasingly overgrown with piquant details, becoming reliable even for the most incorrigible unbeliever Thomas. Still, the skeptics from the journalists did not all believe this "truth", and therefore some of them began to dig, as they say among this fraternity. And soon they dug something out …
Promotional video:
How fake news is born
It turns out that the news about the restaurant for cannibals "Edible Brother" appeared on July 12, 2016 in a satirical Spanish magazine published by La Voz Popular. The fabricated story was even accompanied by photographs of the props of the spicy Tokyo establishment and many other fake details that are used by journalists in most media outlets, for example, on April 1, World Laughter Day. And then the satirical magazine joked … in the summer, somehow it just so happened …
As it turns out, not only is there no restaurant for cannibals in Japan, but there is no law allowing cannibalism, not to mention the other cannibal practices mentioned here. The embassies of Japan (not to go to the Land of the Rising Sun itself over such nonsense?) Were simply shocked by this information, calling it completely absurd. But what is interesting, in spite of this absurdity, it just took root on the Internet, successfully promoting first in the English-speaking space of the Internet, and then migrating to Runet. They say that it has not yet been able to reach the Japanese Internet: really, who will spread it in the Land of the Rising Sun itself? There, another spicy news turned out to be more tenacious: the world's first restaurant for cannibals opened in Berlin …
However, after watching the video below, you will surely remain in deep doubt that this cannot be in “civilized” Europe, which is becoming more and more unpredictable in its perverse views on sex marriage and with growing permissiveness in literally everything. Japan is much more modest in this regard …
