A Japanese artist cooked his own genitals and served them to five paying diners in Tokyo to cover the medical costs, in a bizarre act to raise awareness about sexual minorities.
Mao Sugiyama had his penis and testicles surgically removed in March and kept them frozen for two months before dishing them out — seasoned and braised — to customers at an event hall on May 13, according to postings on his Twitter account and local police.
Diners paid 20,000 yen ($250) for the plate with a portion of genitals. Pictures published on a website appeared to show the meal came complete with mushrooms and a parsley garnish.
Sugiyama, who considers himself “asexual”, that is without gender, initially thought about eating the genitals himself, but decided to solicit paying customers to help pay his hospital bills for the surgery.
In an email to AFP, he confirmed the event had taken place and said it was organised to raise awareness about “sexual minorities, x-gender, asexual people”.

May your ancestors vote Democrat.
Yum, transgendered shark stew.
This is the side of the world where tiny human fetuses are eaten.
Definitely a man that is greatly committed to his art.

I’ll never eat at a Japanese restaurant again.
He’s not going to keep that beard much longer.
Well that took balls to do now, didn’t it?
Not much of an act. He can’t even do it again. Only a sad no talent loser has to get attention like this.
This Japanese guy isn’t the first to indulge in this madness - a couple of years ago, the famous German cannibal advertised his need for a volunteer willing to be eaten. One guy showed up, drank alcohol, had his penis severed, and both dined on it together, before the cannibal finished him off and carved the rest of his flesh for storage.

Never heard of that, but Japan has a lot of really bizarre fecal fetishes.
One of the comments at the site...
I bet they were hungry again an hour later.
I know it’s Chinese but still funny.
Spaghetti and Pete’s Balls?
I thought for sure this had to be a fake...but moonbattery linked to the original article.
