YouTube and Google released a statement announcing that internet disgrace, Logan Paul, will no longer be associated with them and was removed from Google’s advertising tier Google Preferred. That means Paul will no longer receive ad revenue for his videos, in short, he won’t be making money on YouTube and Google anymore. To add more salt on the wound, YouTube Red will be halting shows and movies that Paul was involved with, including the sequel to the thriller The Thining, putting the production in jeopardy, maybe Christopher Plummer is available? The action taken by Paul’s former gravy trains was a result of relentless public outcry as well as outcries from other YouTubers over Paul’s video of him in Japan’s Aokigahara forest where he and his friends filmed the body of a suicide victim and proceeded to make jokes about it. Paul made a half-hearted apology after backlash which prompted even more backlash as the public saw through it resulting in

The most hated man on the internet who “Dabs on Haters” can’t Dab his way out of this one. Police officials from Yamanashi prefecture want to speak with Logan Paul in relation to his disastrous click-bait video that shows him and his friends in Japan’s “Suicide Forest” where they found the remains of a victim of suicide and joke around while filming it. It’s unclear why the Police wish to speak with Logan since they’re declining to comment, in Japan whenever a suicide is involved. Though there have been many documentaries made in Japan’s Suicide Forest, Logan Paul’s is a first of its kind where the ones filming, visibly show disrespect and exploit the situation. A side note, contrary to popular belief Japan does not have the highest suicide rates in the world. According to data by the World Health Organization (WHO) that was updated in April 2017, based on suicides per 100,000 people a year, Japan is 26 on

A new trailer has been released for the upcoming supernatural film ‘The Forest’. The film is set in the real Aokigahara forest. Most of you have probably heard of Japan’s notorious forest, often referred to as the “Suicide Forest’. The fourteen square miles of land, at the base Mount Fuji, is a popular site for people to commit suicide. The suicides have become such an issue that the government has put signs urging people not to take their lives and sending officials in to the forest periodically to search for campers and the dead, on average finding 100 bodies each year. Countless more victims are lost to the forest, never to be found. Locals claim that the area is filled with spirits and if you wonder off the path, you might never be seen again. The film, directed by Jason Zada, stars Taylor Kinney (Zero Dark Thirty) and ‘Game of Thrones’ actress Natalie Dormer, who plays a twin whose sister
