Sick of dining alone? A Japanese curry brand not only understands your plight, they’ve also come up with a solution: a curry that comes packaged with a girlfriend – albeit in DVD form.
The appropriately named Men’s Delusion Curry is an instant curry served with a side of 27-year-old model Mao Harada, who appears in a DVD that comes with the meal. According to RocketNews24, lonely men can choose to see Harada acting out one of three different roles on video, either “The Younger Girlfriend,” “The Older Girl Who Lives Next Door and is Sort of Risqué” or “Haradan Made a Home-Cooked Meal.”
Frankly, the last one sounds the most delusional of them all: You just microwaved an instant curry. It’s one thing to fantasize about having a girlfriend, but let’s not drag meal preparation into this web of lies.
Apparently, getting a fake video girlfriend with your instant curry comes at a premium. Men’s Delusion Curry costs a relatively pricey $13. Though, truth be told, that’s a lot cheaper than it would cost to take an actual girlfriend out to an actual meal. Maybe these delusional guys are on to something.That article is written in a breezy pop culture manner which belies the immense sadness of the story.
... the proportion of Japanese men in their 30s who still have their virginity has gotten so high that society has coined a new slang term to describe them: yaramiso. According to a survey done in 2012 by Japan’s National Institute of Population and Security Research, almost 25 percent of men between the ages of 30 and 34 have never had sexJapanese people are no longer marrying and having children:
The story of Japan’s declining birthrate is not a new one. Measures are underway to ensure that the country does not evolve into a giant nursing home. But in spite of the fact that the government is offering monetary incentives to young married couples, and that businesses are enforcing compulsory holidays, the percentage of children being born into the new generation is not increasing rapidly enough. With just an average of 1.39 children born per Japanese female, it’s time to take a look at the root causes.It's not that they are no longer interested in sex:
There are entire shops dedicated to the selling of condoms, regular DVD shops which only retail the one variety of DVD, and seemingly innocent home depots which display plastic phalluses so big I could dress one up in 4-year-old’s clothing and push it around in a pram for a few weeks before anyone would be any the wiser. Only the other day I pulled up alongside a car while waiting at the traffic lights and glanced over, only to discover a guy watching full frontal penetration on his dashboard DVD screen. It was 11am.Instead of having human contact, they buy hugging chairs:
The "tranquility chair" is built in the shape of a larger-than-life fabric doll with a friendly face and a fetching hat, but more importantly, it has long arms that wrap around the user in an affectionate embrace. "It makes you feel safe.
The chair is priced at 46,000 yen ($419) and there is also a version adapted for wheelchair users.And of course, Japan is the world's leader in sex robots:
Japan’s population shrank by its largest amount on record in 2014. Roughly 1.001 million people were born and 1.269 million people died last year, leaving the country with 268,000 fewer people overall.When we look around the world, we realize Japan is not the only country actively committing demographic suicide.
Germany: "20 Million Muslims by 2020"
We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples, as well as a different understanding of society and law." — From a leaked German intelligence document.
"We need to be clear that there must be limits and quotas for immigration -- we cannot save the whole world." — Markus Söder, Finance Minister of Bavaria.
"The migration crisis has the potential to destabilize governments, countries and the whole European continent. ... What we have been facing is not a refugee crisis. This is a migratory movement composed of economic migrants, refugees and also foreign fighters" — Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Germany's Muslim population is set to nearly quadruple to an astonishing 20 million within the next five years, according to a demographic forecast by Bavarian lawmakers. The German government expects to receive 1.5 million asylum seekers in 2015, and possibly even more in 2016.
After factoring in family reunifications -- based on the assumption that individuals whose asylum applications are approved will subsequently bring an average of four additional family members to Germany -- that number will swell exponentially. This is in addition to the 5.8 million Muslims already living in Germany.
According to the president of the Bavarian Association of Municipalities (Bayerische Gemeindetag), Uwe Brandl, Germany is now on track to have "20 million Muslims by 2020."
The surge in Germany's Muslim population represents a demographic shift of epic proportions, one that will change the face of Germany forever, "but we are just standing by, watching it happen."Why would Germany and Japan just stand by and watch while their death comes speeding at them with such inevitability?
