CNN reports that “male geishas” are the newest trend in Tokyo. These enterprising gentlemen work as “hosts” in clubs where women reportedly pay between “$1,000 to $50,000 a night for male companionship.” As with traditional geisha girls, it’s unclear whether the majority of these women are simply paying for conversation and entertainment, or for sex. Unlike traditional geisha girls, these guys don’t wear elaborate makeup. But they do dye and blow dry their hair daily to “look prettier.” [CNN]
Yes, this post is exactly what you think it is. I purchased and consumed whale meat in Japan. Before all you animal lovers out there start sending me hate mail, I’d ask you to consider a few things first. Every year, despite intense criticism from environmental activists and the international community, Japanese fishermen
slaughter whales. They claim their hunt is all part of “scientific research.” Thanks to these dedicated “scientists,” whale meat is available in restaurants and supermarkets throughout Japan. You know, since they have to kill the whales anyway, they might as well eat the meat too right? Worst of all, researchers say much of the whale meat on sale in Japan comes from endangered animals. Though I may have given money to morally bankrupt fishermen and tasted the flesh of an endangered species while making this video, I hope this clip can have a positive impact by making people more aware of the thriving whale meat trade in Japan. Now that we’ve got all the necessary disclaimers out of the way, watch me scarf down some blubber. It’s way gross.
