Umm... WTF?

Lurking underground in the heart of Tokyo's trendy Roppongi is a true heart of darkness - a members-only club that combines forbidden sex practices with the art of fine dining.

Now, I know what you're thinking - if I didn't read about this in Japan's respected Mainichi Daily News, I would not have believed it - and I'm not sure I want to believe it *.

The gist of it is, members pay a hefty fee at the door to be allowed to... have sex with the animal of their choice - which is subsequently killed, cooked and served to the violator and his party for dinner!

Many readers were shocked by my recent article titled "Feast Like a Cannibal at the Human Banquet" in which a faux human body is prepared from dough, stuffed with the main course and then "operated" on to extract each diner's portion. Weird, huh? Well, the Bestiality Restaurant makes that look like tea and scones at your Aunt Bertha's. As to the question on everyone's lips... WHY???... the answer is, as always, money and what it will buy.

Reminds me of the winner of the First Doom Cafe Comp: "Mise en Place."

That's one of the sickest things I've ever heard. Japan has some strange customs, but this isn't even a custom, it's a new and disturbing trend. Maybe over-crowding is taking it's toll on their sanity. Those kind of people would be eating their next meal in jail if I had any say. Maybe then the tables would be turned when some overgrown 'animal' had his way with them. Why don't people have any consideration for animals? I don't get it. They weren't put here for humans to abuse and torture.
Ah well, rant over. I hope karma is real and the people who dine there all catch some horrible and painful illness.
Then I could stand back and say

I'm hoping it's not real--just some hideous tale like Batboy in the Globe!

I don't know if it's a sign of me getting old, or what, but stuff like this disturbs me more than it used to. There have been a few news stories lately that have made me shudder to think about them, and this is one of the worst. I like a lump of steak as much as the next bloke, but to make the animal's death any more painful than it has to be is cruelty at its worse. Add rape and it's even more abhorrent

It's the opposite for me in that I find it increasingly difficult to be shocked or even surprised. I'm sure I've come across that Tokyo bestial restless restaurant in a text about bizarre practices in Ancient Rome. Sharon will have inside knowledge of this but a nursing neighbour of mine at a recent house party took great delight (after a few drinks) in regaling us with the weird objects in which men have stuck their penises and others that women have put up, and lost, in their pussies. Nothing I hadn't already read on the web. Whenever I want a bizarre twist in a story I tune into True Crime websites and then have to tone them down. Real life is too weird for our storytelling. It's like whenever I laugh at very odd aliens in B-movies, I know that weirder real life exists in the bottoms of Earth's oceans.

I know you're looking for your watch, but if you happen to find my car keys I'll give you a ride home.

BTW, I was talking to somebody at work about this today, and he reminded me of a story in the paper a while back, where a man was spotted having sex with a pony. It wasn't even his pony. Police were called and caught him in the act. They cuffed him and took him into custody, but found all they could charge him with was trespass - having sex with a pony apparently isn't against the law in Britain. Odd, but if he's the only sicko that's ever decided to give it a go, then there wouldn't be a law against it. If you think about it, laws are generally created to address a specific problem, so if it hasn't been a problem up until now, it probably isn't illegal anywhere else, either

Umm, you seem to have had a sheltered life, Ed  - hah.

Apuleius wrote 'The Golden Ass' around 150 AD - there's plenty of sexual deviation there including sex with animals - hence the title. I also remember a section with a woman making love with the ass. It's a classic I read in my teens when I was reading some of the ancient greek and roman literature for the fun of it, and then realised there was unadulterated sex in them and so read all the rest!

You're right about the true crime stuff, Geoff. I read the FBI profiler book (his name elude me) and he tells of a routine police check of a car on a lonely lane. The police officers went up to the car, shone the lights through the window, and found a man having sex with....a CHICKEN!!!!!!

[Geoff_N]

Maybe he was confused over the meaning of a Hen Party.
