Don't Chew with your Legs Walking

What you don't know can hurt you...

Japanese legends from long, long ago spoke of the  six lovely school girls who  to defy that of the Japanese customs. Legend has it that shortly after this photo was taken the six children were mysteriously whisked away before they could even turn the corner.
Their school teachers were baffled, the school system was shamed (committing seppuku to atone of course), their parents grieved, and the little community of what is now common-day Tokyo was in utter despair as the next wave 13-year old prostitutes would never come.

The legend continue as these sixes children's bodies were found.  Each of them were found in six separate stone-wall wells spread throughout the regions of Japan.  They were chosen as an act of God.

Ginjakku, the God of rice, decided that there were too many people walking while eating food.  He considered that this was shameful and disrespectful to the food.  Ginjakku felt that these foods, who selflessly sacrificed themselves for the better of the evolution of mankind, were not being shown respect for their sacrifices. In a fury, Ginjakku abducted the kids and scattered them as described above.

The next day when the town's rice paper news scrolls were handed out the headlines read:

"Last Seen Eating while Walking..."  

From that day on the islands of Japan vowed to never eat whilst walking again lest of the pale bony water-logged bodies of the six lovely school girls eerily clamber for their well to take your life for eating while walking.

True/ False Test

1.  Did this legend inspire the Japanese film "Ringu?"
2.  Were those the actual six girls of the Legend of the Ring?
3.  Are there really 13 year old prostitutes?
4.  This is a Pokemon.
5.  Is it actually disrespectful to walk and eat for the reasons listed above?

Answers
1.  To be a jackass, yes, yes it is true.  To be truthful, no it's not.
2.  No, the picture was not an accurate representation.  You can't accurately represent something that's false.
3.  Yes, sadly Japan was known, at one time - maybe even present-day, to have 13 year old prostitutes.
4.  Falso, I really have no idea what the fuck it is.

**Drum roll please**
And the whole reason for this post is the following

Yes, it is actually disrespectful to eat food as you walk for the one reason listed above.  Further there are other reasons why this custom is long upheld, but I really don't care that much to do the research.  All I know is that it's a pain to adhere to because I am always hungry after all this city walking and avoidance of overpriced foods.  Surprisingly, I have seen very few (I can count the instances on one hand) people eating while walking.  Further the people I did see eating while walking looked as though they were Chinese and we all know that the Chinese just don't give a fuck.

I don't hate the customs by any means, but damn the make it so hard for me =(
