Kill Your Virtual Self, Liberate Your Digital Body

Harakiri_Seppuku_backdrop_poster“Rather than fall into the hands of their enemies, ancient Japanese samurai preferred to die with honour, voluntarily plunging a sword into the abdomen and moving it left to right in a slicing motion”

This is what you would see on Seppukoo.com, an “anti social” network that offers Facebook users to commit virtual suicide.

Yes, you heard that right and there are actually people who have done it, who also became testimonials for the site.

Traditionally, this ritual suicide was called Seppuku and was recently brought online to stop corporate media evil from infecting the social.

The site further explains,

“As the Seppuku restores samurai’s honor as a warrior, in the same way, Seppukoo.com deals with the liberation of the digital body from any identity constriction in order to help people discover what happens after their virtual life and to rediscover the importance of being anyone, instead of pretending to be someone.”

Seppuku testimonials

Instead of suffering the pain of a real suicide, anyone on Facebook can kill his/her virtual self in just 5 pain-free steps, and resurrection is possible with a simple log in to Facebook.
