Too often, people allow their prejudice, bigotry and/or racism to overwhelm their common sense. They dont take the time to vet a photo or article because it fits their ideological narrative. And in the end they are made to look foolish because of it. No less than 3 people on my friends list shared this. I did some digging and found no less than 10 web and FB pages that reported this as true. When in fact this is a photo from 2008 in Japan as part of performance art by Ryoichi Meada. You can follow the link. Click on body modifications from Japan and it is the 30th photo. keroppymaeda/main.html You want to hate an entire group of people over the horrific deeds of a minority of said people? Go right ahead. Just stop being too lazy and/or stupid to do a modicum of research before share such stories. For every time you admit to your limited capacity for intelligent discourse, you keep the real stories from being told.
