Nags Head Causeway – Ryota Tanaka was so excited when he saw an advertisement for Tale of the Whale. Tanaka, a Japanese citizen, loves to eat all sorts of marine mammals like whales, dolphins, and even the occasional manatee, but whale is by far his favorite. You can imagine his horror upon learning they did not have any whale meat on the menu. He was forced to order the dolphin only to find out it was Mahi Mahi. His daughter refused to eat it.
“It really ruined my entire vacation. I looked like a fool,” Ryota said. “I feel like it is false advertising, and I don’t have to take that. I’m going to sue.”
“We tried to explain to him that whales are a protected species and it is illegal to kill them,” a manager at the restaurant commented. “He just kept going on about how it was for science. I was like What’s science got to do with it man? Anyway I comped his meal, and gave them free desert, but he was still being a dick about it, so I asked them to leave. He keeps leaving fake Yelp reviews pretending to be other people who are mad we don’t have whale meat. I don’t think he is going to find a lawyer willing to take his case.”
“Oh I will find a lawyer,” Tanaka said when pressed about the case. “I don’t care if I have to pay for his law school. I have been shamed in front of my family and I must have recompense!”
