Yeah, I think these guys were ganking pictures from online and using them. They have that Nemo sushi pic on the main page, only the eyes have been photoshopped out…
This looks like the original picture. http://imagenes.yonkis.com/5102004103120.jpg
It’s much bigger and still shows the mouse.
I found it by doing a Google Image search for “sushi platter”.
Allow me to settle the photoshop talk once and for all, before you kids degrade into screaming “MAC!” “PC!” at one another.
Has it ever occurred to you that the mouse might have been digitally added to a picture of a sushi platter, and then digitally removed later by a different party?
Of course not, that’s ridiculous. I was there!
In the picture on the fujiyama website where there’s a black spot, that’s me wearing a modesty black towel. Never go anywhere without your towel.
absolutely correct. the mouse was photoshopped OUT. i compared the failblog version and the version at fujiyamas.com on photoshop. by adjusting the brightness/contrast, it is clear that the mouse has been photoshopped out. in place of the mouse, there is a darker shadow that doesn’t match the rest of the photo.
i just went there and they obviously photoshoped it out cause the area where the mouse was is more black than the rest of the plate and the tailis still there. lol snd on the homepage they have nemo sushi :]
You are right! They really deleted the image of the mouse out of there! I guess in Japan white mice live longer, they are so hard to see in all that rice…

it’s pretty disgusting.
YOURS is! Strawberries, frozen whole or sliced: acceptable up to average mold count of 45% or more and mold count of at least half of the subsamples is 55% or more
Or maybe the mouse was photoshopped out of the original? Look at the site’s pic where the mouse would be. The contrast between the sushi and the bowl is is a lot higher than around the other sushi in the pic. I dunno, still funny.
their main page has an altered image too. this is the original for another picture they mustve just taken from the internet…. http://www.livingroom.org.au/blog/archives/TheyFoundNemo.jpg
i knew it looked fishy….sorry. that was obnoxious, i know it.
I did some investigation on each image, and the one without the mouse
has been photoshopped. The portion of the image that had the mouse is
one solid black color. Large areas of the exact same color NEVER appear
in an actual photo!!
You need to hand in your photoshop expert card, or at least change your display name.
There are quite a number of ‘solid black color’ areas on the picture and none of them are big enough to account for a removed mouse, especially not in the place where it’s been placed. I even took the liberty of filling your black area in pink so you can see how much it doesn’t cover.
The other spots that look solid black still have some deviations in the colour, except for the one where the mouse was. Look closely and you can obviosly see it.
Hmm I must say I wasn’t really convinced until I saw the tail… but yeah I don’t know if I trust Fuji Yamas any more… or least not their graphic designer…
actually i did a phtoshop experiment i took the image and selected
the basic black where the mouse used to be. and its the only selection
where that shade of black is used.
if you want to try use color range with the image open in pshop, use color range and set the value to “0″ click the dropper that appears on the area the mouse was at and its the only area that becomes selected. which means that
its edited because the mouse was the only thing in that exact area which oddly enough is now missing.
its the real deal.
the color value doesn’t lie ONLY FUJIYAMA DOES. baaa ba buuum
seriously – I googled the page myself – there are more than enough fail’s in this world that we shouldn’t need to create them photoshop – FAIL whoever made this
Actually, at the original website, look closely & you can see that the mouse has been Photoshopped out. Incredible, but it was there, they realized their mistake, and they edited it badly.
i has a theory. the image was a funny photoshop excursion that became popular on the internet similar to the nemo sushi. it became so popular that the keyword ‘sushi’ on google images brought the image up along with several legitimate sushi images. when someone made this webpage, they probably wanted to make it fast and cheap, so they needed easy images. if you are not looking for it, it is easy to miss among legitimate sushi platter pics. so bam, here is your snazzy looking webpage mr. restaurant owner. mr. restaurant owner scans over webpage and gives it the okay, after all, he just wanted his website to look nice for more customers. henceforth, it is thrown into the intertubes and found by people who recognize the pic and lulz arise.
now, it may have been brought to the attention to the owner, owner gets mad and fires the web designer, only to find that he cant find anyone to correct this mistake or do a new website for cheap. he thinks, ‘psh, i can take it out in paint, its the same as photoshop’ and proceeds to do so and/or forces his kid who knows about computers and assumes they can do it. idk, i could be wrong.
“Kani” is crab. Rabbit is “usagi”. Perhaps you confused this with “unagi”, eel, and then confused that with crab, because they both live in water and you eat them… ?
Not fake. http://imagenes.yonkis.com/5102004103120.jpg Original image at a much higher quality and shows the mouse there. Fujiyama’s website photoshopped the mouse out, just like the ‘shopped out Nemo’s eyes from the picture on the front page.
I think you’re both right. Yonkis photoshopped in the mouse (or otherwise staged the picture) and the restaurant photoshopped it out. Same deal with the Nemo sushi; I’m betting they didn’t have access to the original picture.
Someone tell the Yonkis copyright owner to send a takedown notice.
Japanese cultural knowledge fail. Much of Japan’s language and culture has been heavily influenced by China over the centuries. The Chinese calendar is indeed used in Japan – for example, all of the traditional New Year’s Cards and Shinto New Year’s charms feature the Chinese zodiac animal for that year. Instead of asking each other what Western zodiac sign they are (Cancer, Leo, etc.) they ask each other’s Chinese zodiac sign.
Very strange, when you go to this restaurant website, you have (at the home page) a picture with a ‘Nemo’ maki !
It seems that the picture of the mouse has been photoshopped
I was thinking something SORT OF similar — basically, that the picture was a honeypot. (That is, it was designed to be stolen and make the thief look stupid.)
Either that, or the photographer had a bad feeling about the gig. Anyway, I just can’t imagine it being accidental; the mouse is placed like another piece of nigiri, not crowded onto the edge of the platter.
Also, how often do you get wild white mice? The few mice and rats I’ve seen outside of labs have all been gray or brownish-gray.
If you go to thier website they still have this same picture on the site, but they have blacked out the mouse. Any surprise this restaurant is in Florida?
Why don’t you actually look at the images instead of assuming you know what you’re talking about? The image on the website without the mouse has a large area that is one solid black color. A whole region with a SOLID color.
That does not exist in the world of digital photography, or in real life for that matter. The picture without the mouse has been doctored. Sorry, but it’s true. The mouse pic shows no irregularity in colors or contrast.
Indeed. They also forgot to black out its tail and a portion of its ass lol . Aditionally they haven’t even tried to smoothen out the edges of the food.
I can’t believe this actually is real O.o. The idiots should have destroyed the evidence and taken a new photo instead of putting it on their website rofl
really? are you serious? don’t you think it has been ADDED here to make a funny caption? it’s easier to think that they have blacked it out? what a world are you living in? how sick is to have such a thought… i’m so sorry for you…
Yeah, my grandfather retired 40 years ago in dog years and used to pull the mouse-in-the-sushi trick all the time. I’m sorry you all are so sheltered and live in your parents’ basements.
“it’s easier to think that they have blacked it out? what a world are you living in?”
I think people are just calling it as they see it.
As in, they went to the website, they SAW that something has OBVIOUSLY been removed from the photo (badly pixelated sushi, unnaturally solid black area in the photo).
I’m wondering if it’s just a joke/ploy to get lots of hits or if it’s an outright fake site, since when you visit the page without the flash plugin you get a message saying “FAIL”… coincidence?
Actually, none of the links (other than the main nav) seem to work, so maybe someone created it so they could take some shots for a portfolio, or they’re selling the template or something and they put the pics in as a joke – the mouse is definitely gone now (unless it still randomly appears) but I did see the Nemo clown fish on the sushi rolls.
The “View our sushi menu” link on the home page works, but I couldn’t find a “Rick Roll” in there. I think that would have confirmed it as a joke if it was there.
Actually, it seems like the new photo on the site is doctored. I took that photo, opened it with photoshop, and drastically increased the brightness. What you end up getting is naturally noisy grey regions everywhere there is black, except for one almost uniform and slightly darker region where the mouse used to be… Indicating the possibility that the photo had been modified in that region.
But Mousie, thou are no thy-lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men,
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!
Still, thou art blest, compar’d wi’ me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But Och! I backward cast my e’e,
On prospects drear!
An’ forward, tho’ I canna see,
I guess an’ fear!
Or, disgruntled web designer doctored it, the company noticed and new web designer did a poor job un-doctoring it, it’s just gonna be one of lifes many mysteries. So LOL cause its damn funny either way.
Just look at the source code of the page – “FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this)”. The designer’s obviously a failblog addict and wanted some limelight!
Actually, if you look at the original picture, the yellow sushi on the left of the mouse it’s bigger here while in the website, it looks like the corner was cut.
I find it irritating when people fail so badly at life that they have to alter images and create fails. The idea of a fail is something that is just being itself and failing. Fail is a funny concept until asshats like this go and try and invent a fail.
The only fail here is the failure of your parents to abort you.
You know what I find Irritating? people who don’t know what they’re talking about, like you. the image was photoshopped a long time ago to add the mouse. I got it in an email a long time ago. the site creators for the restaurant stole images from the web to make the site instead of getting actual pictures(cuz that would cost money) and when they saw the mouse they blacked it out. poorly I might add. when you can’t find the image you want google image search is your friend, but you should never use that method in commercial ventures as this restaurant’s site so clearly demonstrates with large quantities of worth1000 rip offs
If it was photoshopped to add the mouse originally, do you happen to know if there is an original pre-mouse picture out there somewhere? (Since obviously the new one on the website isn’t it.) If the mouse was a photoshop job, it was a pretty good one. Far far better than the job removing it anyway.
Yes.
.
“An almost complete skeleton of the giant rodent was discovered in Urumaco, Venezuela in 2000. The new species was later classified with the name Phoberomys pattersoni in honor of palaeontologist Brian Patterson.[1] From the fossil, researchers have been able to reconstruct its size and probable lifestyle. It was 3 m (9.8 ft) long, with an additional 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tail, and probably weighed around 700 kg (1,500 lb)”
.
(wikipeeedial)
You might want to at least some of the comments and look at the main page of the site (with finding Nemo sushi still intact) before you make wild accusations. The OP wins. The sushi site fails.
As has been stated so many numerous times, it is so not a fake. If you still have such a hard time believing there could possibly be a mouse in a picture of a plate of sushi, might I point out that this is not actually a real plate of sushi. Look, you can tell this is plastic display food. Kinda like a mouse playground.
I know no one will read this, but the mouse photo is a photo that was purposely stuck up there and then edited.
1. The original photo was a gag and had the mouse IN it.
2. The doctoring or “‘shopping” done was to black out the mouse.
3. They have the ever-present Nemo sushi photo in their website.
4. The only working link is to their To Go menu.
5. The To Go menu is another restaurant’s menu with their “info” pasted in.
It’s a joke, it is meant to be enjoyed. Stop trying to “call out” photoshopping.
Whoever thinks this photo on this page is a fake, fails epically.
This photo is real. the one on the site was totally doctored by covering the mouse up with a black spot… on the site, you can clearly see the tail after that yellow sushi that was supposedly on the left of the mouse. also, the yellow sushi looks like it was altered as well. they probably did not want to take another photo so they just altered it, HOPING no one would notice. But they didnt notice the TAIL.
Here’s another theory. Whoever made the website just grabbed lots of images from the internet as they didn’t have the means to take photos themselves. He doctored the mouse out of the joke sushi image, and didn’t realise the finding nemo sushi rolls were a joke image so left them in.
Or the entire website is a subtle and elaborate joke to get you guys all excited
I looked at it closer again, and I have to agree that the pic on the site is the one that is photoshopped:
Where the mouse used to be, the sharpness of the black background is not consistent than around the rest of the sushi.
On the site’s pic, you still see the mouse’s tail behind the yellow tofu block.
yeah but it totally doesn’t look like an actual mouse either way – it looks like some sort of rice mouse which is for some reason photoshopped/MSpaint edited out of the picture now on the webiste http://www.fujiyamas.com/
I’ll tell you why they photoshopped it out…because I wrote to them and told them it was there when I saw this pic in the upcoming section of this site. I don’t know if I was the only one who did, but I wrote to them on Wed. 10/1, and the picture was shopped by 10/2… the scumbags didn’t even reply to say thank you for showing us that we had a disgusting mouse on our food platter…hope the restaurant gets closed down for unsanitary conditions.
My first impression was that it was fake. However, I got the original picture (without the rat) from the Flash site, zoomed it and compared it to the one with the rat. See the results for yourself: http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sushifinalhn7.png
Note that the portion of the image where the mouse was seems photoshopped (darker and less pixelated than the rest).
The original restaurant site is here: http://www.fujiyamas.com/ (click on Food to get to this picture)
There are far too many hits on Google for this to be a fake restaurant. If these people can’t get themselves proper photographs, is it so hard to believe that they’ve designed/had designed an inferior website with non-working links?
I think the website is photoshopped, not the failblog picture. If you look at the pixelated edges around the food near the rodent you see its much more jagged than the edges of other bits of food on the plate.
Aka, the company photoshopped their own picture to save face.
Makes sense
I think it is quite obvious that the “original” actually photoshopped the mouse into the picture, then the sushi place photoshopped it out after ripping it off. On to the next conspiracy…
Actually, the white “mouse” may be a mouse or rabbit painted on the plate (which is why it looks photoshopped in on the original photo!). the restaurant didn’t consider that it would look like a real mouse on the web, where photos are not as sharp as an original photo (which is why many photoshop tricks work on the web).
THATS CUZ THE SITE KEEPERS CUT IT OUT! >.<
Look closer! You wont see the mouse(duh) but you can see that it was edited. in paint. either that, or they shape sushi’s with rulers.
I contrasted it with Photoshop. On the left is the site’s pic, on the right is the pic with Brightness and Contrast boosted near 100%. You can clearly see the mouse being blacked out.
What’s funny is all the people who comment saying that it is a fake fail will be laughed at for not reading the comments, because anyone who actually reads the comments will probably have already read the rest of the comments.
I’m guessing their web designer stole some images from online, and didn’t bother to look at them closely enough. Or judging by the Nemo pic, was just being a smartass and seeing if he could slip these past…
C’mon – it looks like they grabbed all their pictures from the web. The picture on the “Cook” page (BTW, sushi bars have chefs not cooks) doesn’t match the picture that comes up on a Google search for his name: http://www.sptimes.com/2003/06/19/Weekend/Sushi_wrapped_in_casu.shtml
You know that if this was real, it would be absolutely all over the news. A quick search on a number of news sites and google, brings up… absolutely nothing. Not even the name of the restaurant anywhere. The mouse has been photoshopped in.
I love how all the comments are looping continuously around, and it sounds like this: “I think this is fake”
“But on the website, the tail is there”
“They photoshopped it in”
“No, they photoshopped it out. The pixles! the pixles!”
“Fail to Fake Failblog fail at failing to fake a webfail…fail..”
Is this an official update to the chicken/egg? What came first, the rat or the dark spot? Also, to those who said, “how can they not notice the rat in the pan”, there are no white rats in the wild. This is a domestic rat, usually live as pets or as dinner for pet snakes.
I was going to say essentially the same thing. My response wouldn’t have been quite so clever, though. I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over. It made me wonder if I was the only one who completely read the comments before adding my own. Good one.
the new picture has been photoshopped… XD
and when you first enter the website… there’s those sushis with Nemo flavor as well! (and the picture was photoshopped too!)
The mouse is clearly photoshopped in based on the quality of the mouse in comparison to the rest of the picture and where it goes behind the sushi the area is poorley shopped, however the other picture on the has the mouse clearly shopped out. I think they found a variety of pictures on the internet like the nemo pic shopped out the joke bits and used it for their images.
TOO MANY IDIOTS
Please read the comments first! This picture is real, the previous comments include the ORIGINAL hi-res picture with the mouse used for the flash PLUS proof that the mouse was edited OUT
Instead of arguing about the mouse.. anybody notice that the opening page has a picture of roll with a fish head sticking out of the top left? It’s obvious that this restaurant is downloading images from Google and not really paying attention before posting it on their site.
That photo WITH the mouse, is not photo shopped. I believe that it was truely taken out of the photo (on the actual web site) and the one with the mouse is the real photo. Just look at the post above were someone shows the up close pictures. The one on the website has been darkened where the mouse is supposed to be and on the picture above, the mouse has the same pixelation as the food next to it. It’s supposed to be there. The website photo is a fake, the mouse photo is real.
Took me 2 secs on google to find the restraunt with this pic, and although there was no mouse in that tray o sushi there was a funny pic of Nemo sushi.
CONCLUSION: the site does not exist. this is a basic manipulation of human mind.
1. We saw this picture and we want to know if this is a fake so we go to the website (w/c is what they expect us to do.)
2. They purposely arranged a dish with the mouse and posted it here, photoshopped the mouse out and posted it on the website.
3. Normally, we would think that no restaurant would be stupid to not see the mouse….and nemo so we would think this picture is a fake. But when we look at it closely, this is the original photo.
4. It is like answering a question with choices true or false. The correct answer is NOT FROM THE “CHOICES.”
I’m a huge skeptic of stuff like this. So, I took the shot into photoshop and adjusted the levels. Touch-ups usually pop-out against the background they’re put onto due to earlier image compression.
I can say 99.99% that the area where the mouse was seen to be HAS BEEN tampered with. The black in that area continues to be solid black when the black to the left and right discolors under adjustment.
Ok, so I just looked this restaurant’s website up to see if they had changed the picture, and they have…to that picture of that horrible “We Found Nemo” joke that’s been circulating for quite some time…the sushi roll with the orange and white striped filling and nemo’s head in the last one. I think this place just googles images of “SUSHI” and puts up the first one that appears! Seriously, check it out…I think this is an even bigger fail than the white rat! http://www.fujiyamas.com/
How come (almost) no-one noticed that the “daily lunch special” is a bowl of uncooked, dried italian pasta? Penne tricolore to be precise. They didn’t google “Sushi”, they just googled “food”.
What could possibly possess them to creaty such a shitty website?
These templates are html/css templates and they can be edited easily. You can use them for your personal and commercial projects without any restrictions.
Also you can upload your website templates and have a direct back link to your homepage.
Guys, this isn’t a fail.
The Asian culture uses mice as
a sort of food that clears the throat
before eating. This is probably an
authentic place, but you never know.
Because when I was in China, they did
this for the customers, I was taken aback
at first, but then my business partner explained
it to me.
Great work! That is the kind of info that should be shared across the web. Disgrace on Google for no longer positioning this put up upper! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)
I do not even know the way I stopped up here, but I thought this publish was once good. I don’t recognize who you’re however definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger in case you are not already. Cheers!
mmm fried mice… first
not fried, raw…like the rest of the stuff on the tray, but still tasty!
What’s the problem? Never had a sushi mouse? They’re yummy. Just dip in the soy sauce and go!
This is so obviously photoshopped, it’s not even funny.
Actually going to the website now looks like it’s been photoshopped OUT.
not completely. The tail is still there, on the left.
Ooh, look, a fish!
*eats fluffy with some rice and seaweed*
Yeah, I think these guys were ganking pictures from online and using them. They have that Nemo sushi pic on the main page, only the eyes have been photoshopped out…
sneaky photo steal fail
This looks like the original picture.
http://imagenes.yonkis.com/5102004103120.jpg
It’s much bigger and still shows the mouse.
I found it by doing a Google Image search for “sushi platter”.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Definitely something fishy (so to speak) about that Web site.
Allow me to settle the photoshop talk once and for all, before you kids degrade into screaming “MAC!” “PC!” at one another.
Has it ever occurred to you that the mouse might have been digitally added to a picture of a sushi platter, and then digitally removed later by a different party?
Of course not, that’s ridiculous. I was there!
In the picture on the fujiyama website where there’s a black spot, that’s me wearing a modesty black towel. Never go anywhere without your towel.
That would explain why they couldn’t just take a different photo.
for proof of these pics being ganked google image either ‘nemo sushi’ (for main page pic) or ‘mouse sushi’ for the mouse picture from yonkis dot com
Nemo is a clownfish, and it’s a real kind of fish. I don’t know if sushi is usualy made using clownfish.
fluffy the fish: The tail is still there.
.
Cuz that’s the best part.
Is it really? I never ate mouse-tail sushi.
Can I get brown mouse instead of white mouse?
It costs extra.
Racist! LMAO
That would make it a new seperate fail… a photoshop fail…
Actually, I’m sure it was photoshopped IN
Damn, I just checked and it’s true!
absolutely correct. the mouse was photoshopped OUT. i compared the failblog version and the version at fujiyamas.com on photoshop. by adjusting the brightness/contrast, it is clear that the mouse has been photoshopped out. in place of the mouse, there is a darker shadow that doesn’t match the rest of the photo.

Check http://www.fujiyamas.com and click on “Home” on the navigation – you can see that it’s been photoshopped out of it.
You are right! They really deleted the image of the mouse out of there! I guess in Japan white mice live longer, they are so hard to see in all that rice…
Japan? That restaurant’s in Florida.
If that’s the case, be happy it’s ONLY a mouse. We’re the food poisoning capital of the United States.

My prompt response has less than eleven percent rodent hairs per serving.

BOTH!!!
How much is in the strawberry tart?

Your life is not what is in danger.
YOURS is! Strawberries, frozen whole or sliced: acceptable up to average mold count of 45% or more and mold count of at least half of the subsamples is 55% or more
I’ve relatives in Florida, I can attest to that.
Plus they serve “gator nibbles” which is just plain wrong.

Agree on photoshopped. Disagree on funny. I loled.
go to the web site, that photo is altered, not this one

There are quite a number of ‘solid black color’ areas on the picture and none of them are big enough to account for a removed mouse, especially not in the place where it’s been placed. I even took the liberty of filling your black area in pink so you can see how much it doesn’t cover.
http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/5141/youfailvy8.png
Ha, you wasted time drawing a deformed midget elephant.
You fail at understanding lossy compression in JPEGs.
WIN!
The other spots that look solid black still have some deviations in the colour, except for the one where the mouse was. Look closely and you can obviosly see it.
you guys are dorks.
Or you could just look to the left of where the mouse used to be. You can still see the mouse’s tail on the other side of the piece of sushi.
Now please explain to me: why would there be a mouse tail in a picture unless the mouse was photoshopped out?
Hmm I must say I wasn’t really convinced until I saw the tail… but yeah I don’t know if I trust Fuji Yamas any more… or least not their graphic designer…
Agree with PhotoshopExpert
is not the same black, it should look like the black on both side where the mouse was.
Seriously? you must be trolling. The solid black area extends far beyond where you drew in pink.
actually i did a phtoshop experiment i took the image and selected
the basic black where the mouse used to be. and its the only selection
where that shade of black is used.
if you want to try use color range with the image open in pshop, use color range and set the value to “0″ click the dropper that appears on the area the mouse was at and its the only area that becomes selected. which means that
its edited because the mouse was the only thing in that exact area which oddly enough is now missing.
its the real deal.

you’re right – the one up there now has obviously chopped the mouse out.
LOL. Very true. How hilarious!
Terrible photoshop job, too.
seems like theyve dont it in paint rather than photoshop…
Your Engrish funny!
typo >.<
I’m stealthy?
seriously – I googled the page myself – there are more than enough fail’s in this world that we shouldn’t need to create them photoshop – FAIL whoever made this
I zoomed it, it was photo-shopped OUT from the sushi place’s website!
How does the photographer not notice mr. nibbles having a snack??
Actually, at the original website, look closely & you can see that the mouse has been Photoshopped out. Incredible, but it was there, they realized their mistake, and they edited it badly.

Actually Rabbit in Japanese sushi is called Kani…maybe it was supposed to be in there!
Kani is crab. Rabbit is usagi. Eel is unagi. Perhaps you got your animals mixed up.

um, no. usagi is rabbit in japanese. kani is crab. rofl

now, it may have been brought to the attention to the owner, owner gets mad and fires the web designer, only to find that he cant find anyone to correct this mistake or do a new website for cheap. he thinks, ‘psh, i can take it out in paint, its the same as photoshop’ and proceeds to do so and/or forces his kid who knows about computers and assumes they can do it. idk, i could be wrong.
“Kani” is crab. Rabbit is “usagi”. Perhaps you confused this with “unagi”, eel, and then confused that with crab, because they both live in water and you eat them… ?
Kani? for Rabbit? I don’t know what part of Japan you’re from but where I lived Usagi means Rabbit and Kani means Crab.
lol no it isnt. “Kani” is crab. Rabbit is pronounced Usagi and the alternate sound for the same character is “to”.
蟹 かに kani crab
兔 usagi, to rabbit

This is a fake. Go to the website (http://www.fujiyamas.com/) and you’ll see the true picture with no mouse on it!
Not fake. http://imagenes.yonkis.com/5102004103120.jpg Original image at a much higher quality and shows the mouse there. Fujiyama’s website photoshopped the mouse out, just like the ‘shopped out Nemo’s eyes from the picture on the front page.
thats because they cut out the mouse. look closer.
Have you not been paying attention? The picture on the website had the mouse photoshopped out of it. Sheesh
Reading the comments and avoiding looking like a fool fail.
Have you not been listening?
Besides, if you look at the picture on the website closely, you can see where it was photoshopped out!
Yeah but you”ll see the mouse tail.
well, you can’t say that. What if the moderator of that site photoshopped it out already before you have visited the site?
>>>I’ll never eat there. gross!
I think you’re both right. Yonkis photoshopped in the mouse (or otherwise staged the picture) and the restaurant photoshopped it out. Same deal with the Nemo sushi; I’m betting they didn’t have access to the original picture.
Someone tell the Yonkis copyright owner to send a takedown notice.
I went to the page for the Sushi shop, and they photo shopped the mouse out. =D lol
mmm mickey platter
How considerate…they included a treat for your cat on the platter!
Not for your cat, it guards your food when you go to the loo.
Yeah, cuz your cat wouldn’t want any of that other stuff.
Cat’s don’t like seafood, dumass.
yes they do… what an odd thing to say
indeed
….
Cat’s don’t like fish?
Guess you never understand the LOLCat pictures where they’re staring at fish in fisbowls, hm?

Not knowing sarcasm DOES work on the internet fail.

Sorry, were you being sarcastic? I can’t tell… CUZ UR ON THE INTERNET!!!!
For the amount you would pay for any of that other stuff, would you give your cat any of it?
Give? What’s “give” got to do with it?
Understanding cat behavior FAIL.
What’s “give” got to do, got to do with it?
What’s “give” but a second hand in motion?
Did you mean to type ‘in motion’ or was it an unintended pun?
Pun intended, because that’s what the ladies want. (Girls just want to have pun.)
I like the second hand in motion, but that leaves nothing for the third hand to do.

Cats can’t eat sushi. They don’t know how to use chopsticks.
Chopsticks are not required for sushi, but are required for sashimi.
Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while! Aren’t you glad sashimi?
I can’t tell you hamachi missed you.

This is the year of the rat.

Not obscure at all!
I’d hate to see the year of the monkey
Those come with the Pu Pu Platter. Guess what it throws at you?
A glass of its own urine?
Right neighborhood, wrong address.
Don’t be a pest.
Except that the year of the rat is part of the Chinese calendar, and this is a Japanese sushi restaurant.
Japanese cultural knowledge fail. Much of Japan’s language and culture has been heavily influenced by China over the centuries. The Chinese calendar is indeed used in Japan – for example, all of the traditional New Year’s Cards and Shinto New Year’s charms feature the Chinese zodiac animal for that year. Instead of asking each other what Western zodiac sign they are (Cancer, Leo, etc.) they ask each other’s Chinese zodiac sign.
In Japan they also use the zodiac animals of the Chinese calendar. It’s quite popular. So the year of the rat explanation is actually quite plausible.
Noticing raw chicken in contact with sushi, too, that’s a REAL fail!
I’m afraid Cicili, that is also sushi, not raw chicken. That’s no shabu shabu platter.
Well its actually sashimi but it is indeed fish
*barfs*
Very strange, when you go to this restaurant website, you have (at the home page) a picture with a ‘Nemo’ maki !
It seems that the picture of the mouse has been photoshopped
I meant, the picture is still there, but the mouse had been hidden
Who hides a mouse? Honestly?
Richard Gere?
No, no, no… He prefers gerbils!
WIN.
They forgot to remove the tail though. Look between that yellow stuff and the nigiri.
The yellow stuff is Sponge Bob??
No, egg.
No egg, Jose!
Forget it, you can tell him tamago morning.
hm…are these guys for real? The ‘nemo’ picture i saw in a forward a while ago and then comes the mouse.
Totally photoshopped. But, totally spectacular.
Totally indeed.
Not totally…I just realized that those little brown things in my cuisine weren’t soy sauce markings…
8th. omg, how do you not see that? how do you take a photo and not see that? well, it looks like a verry clean mouse
Maybe they bought a stock photo from an evil photographer.
I was thinking something SORT OF similar — basically, that the picture was a honeypot. (That is, it was designed to be stolen and make the thief look stupid.)
Either that, or the photographer had a bad feeling about the gig.
Anyway, I just can’t imagine it being accidental; the mouse is placed like another piece of nigiri, not crowded onto the edge of the platter.
Also, how often do you get wild white mice? The few mice and rats I’ve seen outside of labs have all been gray or brownish-gray.
If you go to thier website they still have this same picture on the site, but they have blacked out the mouse. Any surprise this restaurant is in Florida?
Right, they blacked it out. It certainly wasn’t added by someone trying to be clever. Nope, they blacked it out. Dumb ass.
Why don’t you actually look at the images instead of assuming you know what you’re talking about? The image on the website without the mouse has a large area that is one solid black color. A whole region with a SOLID color.
That does not exist in the world of digital photography, or in real life for that matter. The picture without the mouse has been doctored. Sorry, but it’s true. The mouse pic shows no irregularity in colors or contrast.
Indeed. They also forgot to black out its tail and a portion of its ass lol
. Aditionally they haven’t even tried to smoothen out the edges of the food.
I can’t believe this actually is real O.o. The idiots should have destroyed the evidence and taken a new photo instead of putting it on their website rofl
I’ll have a fruit smoothen, please! Hold the mouse.
really? are you serious? don’t you think it has been ADDED here to make a funny caption? it’s easier to think that they have blacked it out? what a world are you living in? how sick is to have such a thought… i’m so sorry for you…
chill, Neo
Yeah, my grandfather retired 40 years ago in dog years and used to pull the mouse-in-the-sushi trick all the time. I’m sorry you all are so sheltered and live in your parents’ basements.
Omg…I’d forgotten about this one…
It’s THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK. You all FAIL for falling for it,,,,,,,,
Actually, if you go to the site and look at the sans-mouse picture? That one is obviously the one that’s been doctored. They took it out, definitely.
True! Where the mouse was is one solid area of the exact same color. You can ‘t tell without cranking up the contrast and brightness, but it’s true…
and forgot it’s wee tail
I suppose I’m proud of my screen…I was able to see it without changing a thing.
“it’s easier to think that they have blacked it out? what a world are you living in?”
I think people are just calling it as they see it.
As in, they went to the website, they SAW that something has OBVIOUSLY been removed from the photo (badly pixelated sushi, unnaturally solid black area in the photo).
Occam’s razor, yada yada.
*shaves*
*hones*
*strops*
yup, i can see that, there is a rough edge where it looks like they used a program, far inferior to Photoshop, to remove the mousie
I’d say MS Paint.
Not to be confused with MS Pants, which can’t be taken on a plane.
Which shouldn’t be further confused with MY Pants, from which I frequently “remove the mouse”.
Is that your girlfriend’s nickname for it?
Better than calling it ‘Kingpin’.
She doesn’t call it “little Hee Haw”?
No, it’s YOUR girlfriend’s nickname for it. Sorry you had to hear it from me.
Damn! He’ll need a Xenotab to get over that one.
No, on second thought, Teamocil will be more effective. For ten minutes.
I’d say the mouse was PAINTBRUSHED out. Very ugly work.
Must have been 2 minutes before I could find the fail. Too bad I just took a sip of coffee when I finally spotted it.
Yeah, that giant blue arrow is just too subtle.
Clearly I should have had more coffee before going to failblog…I couldn’t find the arrow, either. Is the room growing dark?
as funny as bloody fake – unless they’ve updated the image on their website…
OK, go look first, you will fail less
common, it’s a joke… they have another picture too (click random menu-items until you get it), with 6 sushi-rolls with little pieces of “Nemo” in it
I’m wondering if it’s just a joke/ploy to get lots of hits or if it’s an outright fake site, since when you visit the page without the flash plugin you get a message saying “FAIL”… coincidence?
um, you fail. it’s a real site. is clownfish used in sushi?
Actually, none of the links (other than the main nav) seem to work, so maybe someone created it so they could take some shots for a portfolio, or they’re selling the template or something and they put the pics in as a joke – the mouse is definitely gone now (unless it still randomly appears) but I did see the Nemo clown fish on the sushi rolls.
The “View our sushi menu” link on the home page works, but I couldn’t find a “Rick Roll” in there. I think that would have confirmed it as a joke if it was there.
oh man. I have totally ordered the “Ricky Roll” before (not from this place, but it exists). It’s surprisingly good.
And doesn’t come back to haunt you later
The restaurant is real, at the address on the site. The website itself may be new though.
They do have a catchy tune, though!
Har har. Looks like they had a good time after finding Nemo…
THIS IS A FAKE PICTURE – DOCTORED
Maybe they should have wrapped a green ribbon around the mouse so it would resemble what’s next to it.
agreed, photoshopped
fail, you need a doctor. go to the site. see how the other one is altered to remove the mouse…see?
Actually, it seems like the new photo on the site is doctored. I took that photo, opened it with photoshop, and drastically increased the brightness. What you end up getting is naturally noisy grey regions everywhere there is black, except for one almost uniform and slightly darker region where the mouse used to be… Indicating the possibility that the photo had been modified in that region.
Yeah I have way too much free time on my hands…
That looks more like a hamster than a mouse — is it ‘shopped possibly?
It was a three-legged gerbil but they cleaned it up for the photo.
The world is definitely not beating a path to their door.
“I’ll have the Where’s Waldo Platter.”
Normally in restaurants is a big fat grey rat.
Hm wait, maybe its a sushi test-lab !?
Have you been hanging out at Chuck E. Cheese’s?
Thank goodness for a voice of sanity – that is a hammie, not a mouse or a rat. Maybe a gerbil, but I don’t think so.
And it is the year of the rat (mouse for wimps) in China *and* Japan – celebrate your inner Nezumi!

web site photo is doctored
Yeah, the website one is clearly the doctored one.
Or, disgruntled web designer doctored it, the company noticed and new web designer did a poor job un-doctoring it, it’s just gonna be one of lifes many mysteries. So LOL cause its damn funny either way.
sushi@fujiyamas.com – ask them where the mouse is now…
Actually, this is not a fake, the mouse was deleted of the picture on the website (there is a black spot on the picture)
Mouse is just garnish! Do not eat mouse! It’s the parsley of rodents.
What’s the capybara, then?
It’s the one that wears the lipstick.
(Do not eat moose! It’s the helicopter-kill of rodents.)
But feel free to use the SOI SOI SOI sauce.
Holy crap! They must have seen their site featured on failblog and now they’ve removed the mouse from the image – http://www.fujiyamas.com/
If you go to the site and take a screen shot, enhance that image with gamma correction and there is a black blob were the mouse was.
I must have superior eyesight because I didn’t need to enhance the gamma correction to see the black splodge.
OMG, the mouse became a singularity! Ok Schrodinger, where is that cat yours?
Remove the doormat, and you’ll fine it.
I’ll just let it off with a warning this time.
Um, yeah, I was trying to combine two different fail references. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
*puts head in pudding bukkit*
Oops. I forgot to change the pudding this morning. That might be rather rank…
I checked the Fuji Yama’s website. The mouse is definitely photoshopped in. Amazing Kevin, YOU FAIL.
Epic failure to read the rest of the comments before posting.

Is it a male or a female mouse ?
Does it matter??
Yeah, to another mouse.
True, but they’ll mate with a computer mouse if they’re in the mood.

Ergo no mice.
tergo-nomics — very nice

(and mouse + mouse ergo sum)
Just look at the source code of the page – “FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this)”. The designer’s obviously a failblog addict and wanted some limelight!
There’s also an ‘old’ version still in there – http://www.fujiyamas.com/flash/PreviousVersions/main10-2-08.swf – and that version has no mouse either.
(Fake!)
Good night sushi.
Good night, mittens.
someone got it <3
Oh man I love sushi so hard. Never had mouse sushi though. Seems like that would be a moustake.
*coff* Sorry.
I rodent worry about it.
She’s rat, you know…we like your puns.
*squirrels away the compliment*
Why thank you kindly!
If anyone complains about the puns, I’ll whisker away.
I bat you don’t.
Shrewd decision, we’vole been there.
To beaver not to be. That is the question.
I’ll paws to consider……….. No, your guys puns are a little fishy if you ask me.
It’s probably squeaky clean.
It’s served over vermin-celli pasta. With a cheese sauce.
That sounds very mice!
Actually, if you look at the original picture, the yellow sushi on the left of the mouse it’s bigger here while in the website, it looks like the corner was cut.
I am not so sure this is fake.
http://www.fujiyamas.com/
there is no mouse there, but there are signs of editing on that spot (in the website) and on two other.
ok, next time, try reading the other comments before posting what has been posted like 10 times before…
ok, random images. look anyway for NEMO.
Sure you’ll find it.
Health Department Win!
You know what I find irritating?
I find it irritating when people fail so badly at life that they have to alter images and create fails. The idea of a fail is something that is just being itself and failing. Fail is a funny concept until asshats like this go and try and invent a fail.
The only fail here is the failure of your parents to abort you.
^ just being himself
Fedor by armbar.
You know what I find Irritating? people who don’t know what they’re talking about, like you. the image was photoshopped a long time ago to add the mouse. I got it in an email a long time ago. the site creators for the restaurant stole images from the web to make the site instead of getting actual pictures(cuz that would cost money) and when they saw the mouse they blacked it out. poorly I might add. when you can’t find the image you want google image search is your friend, but you should never use that method in commercial ventures as this restaurant’s site so clearly demonstrates with large quantities of worth1000 rip offs
Photoshop giveth, and Photoshop taketh away.
If it was photoshopped to add the mouse originally, do you happen to know if there is an original pre-mouse picture out there somewhere? (Since obviously the new one on the website isn’t it.) If the mouse was a photoshop job, it was a pretty good one. Far far better than the job removing it anyway.
And was there an ancestral proto-mouse, before the mouse we know today?
Yes.
.
“An almost complete skeleton of the giant rodent was discovered in Urumaco, Venezuela in 2000. The new species was later classified with the name Phoberomys pattersoni in honor of palaeontologist Brian Patterson.[1] From the fossil, researchers have been able to reconstruct its size and probable lifestyle. It was 3 m (9.8 ft) long, with an additional 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tail, and probably weighed around 700 kg (1,500 lb)”
.
(wikipeeedial)
You might want to at least some of the comments and look at the main page of the site (with finding Nemo sushi still intact) before you make wild accusations. The OP wins. The sushi site fails.
As has been stated so many numerous times, it is so not a fake. If you still have such a hard time believing there could possibly be a mouse in a picture of a plate of sushi, might I point out that this is not actually a real plate of sushi. Look, you can tell this is plastic display food. Kinda like a mouse playground.
I know no one will read this, but the mouse photo is a photo that was purposely stuck up there and then edited.
1. The original photo was a gag and had the mouse IN it.
2. The doctoring or “‘shopping” done was to black out the mouse.
3. They have the ever-present Nemo sushi photo in their website.
4. The only working link is to their To Go menu.
5. The To Go menu is another restaurant’s menu with their “info” pasted in.
It’s a joke, it is meant to be enjoyed. Stop trying to “call out” photoshopping.
you’re right… tl;dr
Lettuce IS funny, you silly willy.
Try googling the chefs name.
He is a real sushi chef, but at a different resaurant and is not the guy in the picture.
All the links work for me.
Mmmm, the dried pasta on the home page looks nice….
anyone else noticing that they used the Nemo as sushi picture on their front page, and that they just blurred the eyes out? wtf
I think you’re right. This is the original.
Flaming fail on my part.
Win for being one of the few to admit to it.
Is old Roman custom! Go next door to vomitorium, hold mouse by tail down throat until emesis occurs, go back for more Yummy Sushiez!
THIS IS NOT A FAKE.
Whoever thinks this photo on this page is a fake, fails epically.
This photo is real. the one on the site was totally doctored by covering the mouse up with a black spot… on the site, you can clearly see the tail after that yellow sushi that was supposedly on the left of the mouse. also, the yellow sushi looks like it was altered as well. they probably did not want to take another photo so they just altered it, HOPING no one would notice. But they didnt notice the TAIL.
you+thinking this photo is fake=FAIL
Here’s another theory. Whoever made the website just grabbed lots of images from the internet as they didn’t have the means to take photos themselves. He doctored the mouse out of the joke sushi image, and didn’t realise the finding nemo sushi rolls were a joke image so left them in.
Or the entire website is a subtle and elaborate joke to get you guys all excited
^ is only theoretically excited
I looked at it closer again, and I have to agree that the pic on the site is the one that is photoshopped:
Where the mouse used to be, the sharpness of the black background is not consistent than around the rest of the sushi.
On the site’s pic, you still see the mouse’s tail behind the yellow tofu block.
yeah but it totally doesn’t look like an actual mouse either way – it looks like some sort of rice mouse which is for some reason photoshopped/MSpaint edited out of the picture now on the webiste http://www.fujiyamas.com/
Not funny though, or really a fail… Just odd?
The only fail here is that the name of the restaurant looks like “Fuji-Mamas”
I believe that is Japanese for “Weak-sauce Fail”
There’s even another FAIL still online, I think this was Nemo? Here’s a screenshot:
http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fujinemozw7.jpg
Are you sure? There are real clown fish, and people do eat them.
thanx for pointing that out sherlock… now pick a number and go stand in line
Fish roe..dent?
I took the photo into Photoshop and increased the brightness and contrast all the way. You can tell it was photoshopped there.
If you save the image from the website and up the gamma in photoshop you can see they have painted out the mouse!
I have a feeling it was Photoshopped into the original… no restaurant is that stupid.
Your naive faith in the intellect of your fellow man inspires me to tears. You must not have worked with many restaurants.
I’ll tell you why they photoshopped it out…because I wrote to them and told them it was there when I saw this pic in the upcoming section of this site. I don’t know if I was the only one who did, but I wrote to them on Wed. 10/1, and the picture was shopped by 10/2… the scumbags didn’t even reply to say thank you for showing us that we had a disgusting mouse on our food platter…hope the restaurant gets closed down for unsanitary conditions.
My first impression was that it was fake. However, I got the original picture (without the rat) from the Flash site, zoomed it and compared it to the one with the rat. See the results for yourself:
http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sushifinalhn7.png
Note that the portion of the image where the mouse was seems photoshopped (darker and less pixelated than the rest).
The original restaurant site is here:
http://www.fujiyamas.com/ (click on Food to get to this picture)
So the entire website is the fake. I searched yellowbook.com and there is no Fuji Yama Sushi in Seminole, FL…the address however DOES exist lol
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=fuji+yamas+near+Seminole,+FL&ie=UTF8&ll=27.887336,-82.75486&spn=0.109546,0.106773&t=h&z=13&iwloc=A&iwd=1&cid=27839664,-82762649,14933380356006220704&dtab=2
Web search FAIL
http://www.baynews9.com/content/29/2008/1/12/315650.html
There are far too many hits on Google for this to be a fake restaurant. If these people can’t get themselves proper photographs, is it so hard to believe that they’ve designed/had designed an inferior website with non-working links?
I love that the mouse doesnt show up on the original site. Lame. http://www.fujiyamas.com/
I think the website is photoshopped, not the failblog picture. If you look at the pixelated edges around the food near the rodent you see its much more jagged than the edges of other bits of food on the plate.
Aka, the company photoshopped their own picture to save face.
Makes sense
I went to the website this is fake please only submit real fails they are way funnier
Oh heavens above… dear everybody who says this is a fake:
Read the comments. Various people have kindly given given up their time to investigate this matter and prove that this is real.
Can we not exact some kind of righteous vengeance on the “OMGWTF photoshopped!” brigade?
Yes we can, and we do, it is called ignoring them.
Or openly mocking them. That can be fun, too.
Oh right, maturity… sorry. Once you’ve been online for a while you kinda forget there IS a high road.
There is? Where is this “high road” you speak of?
You take the high road and I’ll take the low road, and I’ll be in Scotland afore ye!
DUDE, THIS IS TOTALLY FAKE LKJFHKJHS.
Rat is for nom
Actually, the mouse is there as a reminder to chu your food before swallowing.
Yes, don’t vore me, bro! If you must, at least be kind enough to taze me first.
you some dark furry vole, Mr. Mouse!
I think it is quite obvious that the “original” actually photoshopped the mouse into the picture, then the sushi place photoshopped it out after ripping it off. On to the next conspiracy…
Actually, the white “mouse” may be a mouse or rabbit painted on the plate (which is why it looks photoshopped in on the original photo!). the restaurant didn’t consider that it would look like a real mouse on the web, where photos are not as sharp as an original photo (which is why many photoshop tricks work on the web).
so.. yeah, I checked the website… and…. they don’t have the mouse, but at the front page they DO have a “NEMO” sushi…
interesting!
nice job adding that to the picture. been to that site, mouse isn’t there.
THATS CUZ THE SITE KEEPERS CUT IT OUT! >.<
Look closer! You wont see the mouse(duh) but you can see that it was edited. in paint. either that, or they shape sushi’s with rulers.
Me too. Just found that out. Fail blog is the real fail.
I’m right here.
Fried lice? er, mice?
http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/galleyan/?action=view¤t=ISeeSushiMouse.jpg
Oh! I see what you did there.
Picture on website is clearly edited to remove mouse.
THAT IS HILARIOUS!
this is an obvious fake

I contrasted it with Photoshop. On the left is the site’s pic, on the right is the pic with Brightness and Contrast boosted near 100%. You can clearly see the mouse being blacked out.
went to that website. if you look closely, and zoom in on the pic, you can see where the mouse was erased.
CROPPED!!!
http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/imagestore/2008/10/9/40ce5ba1-163e-4bbb-a1f9-9919198fc404.bmp
I contrasted it with Photoshop. On the left is the site’s pic, on the right is the pic with Brightness and Contrast boosted near 100%. You can clearly see the mouse being blacked out.
What’s funny is all the people who comment saying that it is a fake fail will be laughed at for not reading the comments, because anyone who actually reads the comments will probably have already read the rest of the comments.
Probably!
or sped read ‘em!
I’m guessing their web designer stole some images from online, and didn’t bother to look at them closely enough. Or judging by the Nemo pic, was just being a smartass and seeing if he could slip these past…
C’mon – it looks like they grabbed all their pictures from the web. The picture on the “Cook” page (BTW, sushi bars have chefs not cooks) doesn’t match the picture that comes up on a Google search for his name: http://www.sptimes.com/2003/06/19/Weekend/Sushi_wrapped_in_casu.shtml
On Fuji Yama’s Main page they have a clown fish Sushi.
A google image search of Clown Fish Sushi came up with this
http://www.diversjobs.com/nemo.jpg
They just shopped out the eyes >.<
Ah, thanks. I see it now. Without the eyes I didn’t even notice the mouth. I though it might be real, other then the head shot roll it could be.
You know that if this was real, it would be absolutely all over the news. A quick search on a number of news sites and google, brings up… absolutely nothing. Not even the name of the restaurant anywhere. The mouse has been photoshopped in.
You, sir, fail. You obviously haven’t read the comments yet.
The Fujiyama’s website itself appears to be a fake, “Nemo sushi” and “Edited-out mouse” included. Someone’s being an attention ho.
No they are real, I called the phone number and they answered. Also if you google search Fujiyama’s there are links to news about the restaurant.
FAKE fails are retarded.
Failure to read comments on why it is a real pic = FAIL
well rabbit meat is amazingly delicious but i think thats going a little far
I went to the website, and where the mouse used to be is blacked out. You can tell they edited it out.
LOL I didn’t even notice the mouse at first… Guess I should have looked for an arrow before trying to read the tiny print :p
I love how all the comments are looping continuously around, and it sounds like this: “I think this is fake”
“But on the website, the tail is there”
“They photoshopped it in”
“No, they photoshopped it out. The pixles! the pixles!”
“Fail to Fake Failblog fail at failing to fake a webfail…fail..”
Is this an official update to the chicken/egg? What came first, the rat or the dark spot? Also, to those who said, “how can they not notice the rat in the pan”, there are no white rats in the wild. This is a domestic rat, usually live as pets or as dinner for pet snakes.
SMART ANSWER!
=WIN
I was going to say essentially the same thing. My response wouldn’t have been quite so clever, though. I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over. It made me wonder if I was the only one who completely read the comments before adding my own. Good one.
LOL, if this dish ever come out, it’s kinda scary if it’s real!
That’s me in the corner.
I thought that I heard you squeak …
With every whisker,
Of every waking hour you’re
Chewing your confections.
Trying to keep a beady eye on you…
But I don’t know if I can chew it.
Still looks better than Subway.

Nice try though.
Loco’s motion was late.
A similar pic was at the Happy Seven Restaurant in Toronto, only the rat is beside a health inspection passed sign, its on the net somewhere.
Looks like a real place for all those claiming it’s a joke website – I pass no judgment on the to photoshop or not photoshop debate.

NOT a real picture.
(I have too much time on my hands, hey hey.)
Hey thats photoshoped Proof: http://www.fujiyamas.com/ go to home page
i suggest we run from fran
the new picture has been photoshopped… XD
and when you first enter the website… there’s those sushis with Nemo flavor as well! (and the picture was photoshopped too!)
they have photo shoped the image on the home page to get rid of the mouse but on the rim there is some white if u zoom in
So fake, I went to the website it’s not like that.
Hah, they also FAIL for calling it “Fuji Yama”.
It’s Fuji San. Dummies.
Is it a fake mouse? Is it a photoshopped rat? No! Alas, you are all full of it. This is clearly a hamster.
The mouse is clearly photoshopped in based on the quality of the mouse in comparison to the rest of the picture and where it goes behind the sushi the area is poorley shopped, however the other picture on the has the mouse clearly shopped out. I think they found a variety of pictures on the internet like the nemo pic shopped out the joke bits and used it for their images.
TOO MANY IDIOTS
Please read the comments first! This picture is real, the previous comments include the ORIGINAL hi-res picture with the mouse used for the flash PLUS proof that the mouse was edited OUT
FAKE!!!
FAKED!
http://www.fujiyamas.com/
avoid posting faked fails..
That is definitely a dwarf hamster? They have tails a quarter of an inch long.
Here’s a good picture of a white dwarf hamster.
http://images.ciao.com/iuk/images/products/small/301/Russian_Dwarf_Hamster__5812301.jpg
Instead of arguing about the mouse.. anybody notice that the opening page has a picture of roll with a fish head sticking out of the top left? It’s obvious that this restaurant is downloading images from Google and not really paying attention before posting it on their site.
That photo WITH the mouse, is not photo shopped. I believe that it was truely taken out of the photo (on the actual web site) and the one with the mouse is the real photo. Just look at the post above were someone shows the up close pictures. The one on the website has been darkened where the mouse is supposed to be and on the picture above, the mouse has the same pixelation as the food next to it. It’s supposed to be there. The website photo is a fake, the mouse photo is real.
I checked the website. They photoshoped it; you can see the blacking-out of the mouse if you look closely.
(fujiyamas.com – click on “food”)
I think this is faked… I saw the site. The same image is there but you can tell there’s space enough for someone to fake a mouse and photoshop it in.
fake (fujiyamas.com)
i went on their site adn i saw where they photoshopped it out
Took me 2 secs on google to find the restraunt with this pic, and although there was no mouse in that tray o sushi there was a funny pic of Nemo sushi.
CONCLUSION: the site does not exist. this is a basic manipulation of human mind.
1. We saw this picture and we want to know if this is a fake so we go to the website (w/c is what they expect us to do.)
2. They purposely arranged a dish with the mouse and posted it here, photoshopped the mouse out and posted it on the website.
3. Normally, we would think that no restaurant would be stupid to not see the mouse….and nemo so we would think this picture is a fake. But when we look at it closely, this is the original photo.
4. It is like answering a question with choices true or false. The correct answer is NOT FROM THE “CHOICES.”
I’m a huge skeptic of stuff like this. So, I took the shot into photoshop and adjusted the levels. Touch-ups usually pop-out against the background they’re put onto due to earlier image compression.
I can say 99.99% that the area where the mouse was seen to be HAS BEEN tampered with. The black in that area continues to be solid black when the black to the left and right discolors under adjustment.
No BS.
Can you STOP CALLING IT PHOTOSHOPING?
I believe it’s spelled: PHOTOSHOPPING.
And no matter where the original photo came from, the photographer HAD to know that there was a white mouse posed there.
Most house mice/common mice are BROWN or GREY. Duhs. It was a PURPOSED mouse. It was WANTED. Not just an also-ran mouse…
Ok, so I just looked this restaurant’s website up to see if they had changed the picture, and they have…to that picture of that horrible “We Found Nemo” joke that’s been circulating for quite some time…the sushi roll with the orange and white striped filling and nemo’s head in the last one. I think this place just googles images of “SUSHI” and puts up the first one that appears! Seriously, check it out…I think this is an even bigger fail than the white rat!
http://www.fujiyamas.com/
How come (almost) no-one noticed that the “daily lunch special” is a bowl of uncooked, dried italian pasta? Penne tricolore to be precise. They didn’t google “Sushi”, they just googled “food”.
What could possibly possess them to creaty such a shitty website?
Well I guess those little brown pellets werent chocolate after all…
photoshop fail: http://www.fujiyamas.com/ and click on homepage
actually about 60% of things here are photoshopped so wtvr
Wow, those animal-shaped onigiris get more and more real as time passes!
Hey! I didn’t know white mouse was part of Japanese cuisine!
Somethings photoshopped, i visited the site and the mouse isnt there, so one or the other
Lovely
this pic isn’t fail because it has a mouse…it’s fail because it’s photoshopped…
^ tastes like insanity

Guys, this isn’t a fail.
The Asian culture uses mice as
a sort of food that clears the throat
before eating. This is probably an
authentic place, but you never know.
Because when I was in China, they did
this for the customers, I was taken aback
at first, but then my business partner explained
it to me.
Don’t give us shooped fails please =(
Lol, good photoshop work!
Hope it hasn’t put too many people off eating there!!
i wouldn’t put me off, i mean, you get a free pet with every meal lol
this is not real!
Great work! That is the kind of info that should be shared across the web. Disgrace on Google for no longer positioning this put up upper! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)
I do not even know the way I stopped up here, but I thought this publish was once good. I don’t recognize who you’re however definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger in case you are not already. Cheers!
Wow… guess I fail for not reading the comments first
