Tokyo police probe man who cooked his own genitals By Agence France-Presse Tuesday, June 26, 2012 6:39 EDT Tokyo police are investigating whether a man who cooked his own severed genitals and served them to five paying diners committed a crime, the force said Tuesday. Mao Sugiyama had his penis and testicles surgically removed in March and kept them frozen for two months before cooking them at a public event in May. Diners each paid 20,000 yen ($250) for a portion. The police probe came after the mayor of Suginami ward, the Tokyo district where the event took place, said it had involved the display of obscene objects. “Many residents of Suginami and elsewhere have expressed a sense of discomfort and feeling of apprehension over this,” Mayor Ryo Tanaka said in a statement Monday. A Tokyo police spokeswoman acknowledged the complaint, but declined to give further details, citing “an ongoing investigation”. Sugiyama, a painter in his 20s who defines himself as “asexual”, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In an email to AFP in May, he confirmed the event had taken place and said it was organised to raise awareness about “sexual minorities, x-gender, asexual people”. In tweets on May 18, the artist said steps were taken so his act met all relevant laws, including a ban on organ sales, processing of medical waste and even food sanitation requirements. Sugiyama said his genitals had been removed by a physician and certified free of infections.
LOL Jason, you would probably be surprised at the variety and volume of things I read. This is my weekly "junk food" fix :D. http://www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/index.html
That guy might end up at the bottom of the ocean with a block attached to "his" leg. THAT is nasty as all get out.
$250 a portion? Wonder what the portion size was. This has me reconsidering leaving my buck's junk hanging in the trees this fall
Diners interviewed were quoted as saying they taste like chicken....On a serious note, that is pretty nasty and has to make you guys say ouch
I clicked on this thinking it was really going to be about sushi. Now, I don't know how I am ever going to eat sushi again without thinking about this...thanks Bruce!
I wonder if it tasted like chicken! I really could have done without reading this. Oh well, I guess it is just another conversation piece for the wife tonight at dinner. Sent from my iPhone
Oh... I mean OH ... I mean really...OH. I think I'm scared for life. P.S. Bruce...you should really seek help.
