"'''Democracy Manifest'''" (also known as "'''Succulent Chinese Meal'''", among other names) is an October 1991 Australian news segment video by reporter [[Chris Reason]]. ''[[The Guardian]]'', in 2019, called it "perhaps the pre-eminent Australian meme of the past 10 years".<ref name=guardian>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/dec/31/from-isnack20-to-tony-abbotts-onions-the-best-australian-memes-of-the-decade |title=From iSnack2.0 to Tony Abbott's onions: the best Australian memes of the decade |work=[[The Guardian]] |author=Naaman Zhou |date=30 December 2019 |access-date=18 March 2020}}</ref> [[YouTube]] has several postings of the video with more than a million views each.<ref name="Daily">{{cite news |url=https://10daily.com.au/news/a200306royhs/the-democracy-manifest-meme-guy-may-not-be-dead-according-to-the-chats-20200306 |work=[[10 Daily]] |title=The 'Democracy Manifest' Meme Guy May Not Be Dead, According To The Chats |first1=Josh |last1=Butler|date=5 March 2020|access-date=22 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200322114301/https://10daily.com.au/news/a200306royhs/the-democracy-manifest-meme-guy-may-not-be-dead-according-to-the-chats-20200306 |archive-date=2020-03-22 |url-status=dead}}</ref>


It features a man, later identified as Jack Karlson,<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> who is being arrested at a [[Fortitude Valley, Queensland|Fortitude Valley]], [[Brisbane]] Chinese restaurant. As the police arrest him, he exclaims various remarks such as "Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!", "What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?", "Get your hand off my penis!", and after an aborted attempt by a police officer to headlock him, "I see that you know your [[judo]] well."
== Herkunft ==
Der genaue Ursprung der Rule 34 ist unbekannt. Seit Anfang der 2000er Jahre finden sich vermehrt Quellen, die sich auf die Regel beziehen.<ref>[https://fanlore.org/wiki/Rule_34 ''Rule 34.''] In: ''fanlore.org,'' 29. August 2020, abgerufen am 25. März 2021.</ref> Im Jahr 2003 erstellte der damals 16-jährige britische Schüler Peter Morley-Souter einen [[Webcomic]], der die Rule 34 thematisierte. Peter war mit dem Kindercomic ''[[Calvin und Hobbes]]'' aufgewachsen und erhielt eine E-Mail, die ihn nach eigenen Angaben [[Trauma (Psychologie)|traumatisiert]] habe: Der E-Mail war eine Zeichnung beigefügt, auf der Comicfiguren beim Geschlechtsverkehr mit der Mutter der Comicfigur Calvin zu sehen waren. Morley-Souter zeichnete als Reaktion darauf einen Webcomic mit dem Text: „The Internet, raping your childhood since 1996“ (Das Internet, wie es seit 1996 deine Kindheit [[Vergewaltigung|vergewaltigt]]) und der Überschrift {{lang|en|„Rule #34 – There is porn of it. No exceptions.“}} Auf der Strichzeichnung ist ein junger Mann zu sehen, der schockiert vor einem Computerbildschirm sitzt. Veröffentlicht wurde der Comic 2004 auf der Website Zoom-Out, von der heute nur noch eine [[Web-Archivierung|Archivversion]] besteht.<ref>[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/rule-34 ''Rule 34.''] In: ''knowyourmeme.com,'' 2006, abgerufen am 25.

A mystery developed about who the man was, with theories centering on Hungarian chess player Paul Charles Dozsa, known for his [[dine and dash|dine-and-dash]] exploits. In 2020, an Australian man, later identified as Jack Karlson, appeared in a music video by Australian punk rock band [[The Chats]] and revealed himself as the man in the now-viral 1991 video; his identity has since been confirmed.<ref name=":0">{{Citation |title=Extended Interview: Mr "Democracy Manifest" and his "succulent Chinese meal" |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu4d_xsdNzM |access-date=2024-01-08 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite news |date=20 June 2024 |title=Karl a little worried as interview Goes Pearshaped |url=https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/morning-shows/karl-a-little-worried-as-interview-goes-pearshaped/news-story/3d50fb2ead54b198132c7c3ebc2ccf0c |access-date=20 June 2024 |work=News.com.au}}</ref> Karlson, who had been a serial prison escapee, was arrested for alleged [[credit card fraud]] by the [[Queensland Police Service]], after being wrongly identified as one of Australia's most-wanted criminals.

== Verbreitung ==
Die Gründe für die Verbreitung von Rule 34 sind unbekannt. 2006 wurde der Begriff in das Internetwörterbuch ''[[Urban Dictionary]]'' eingetragen.<ref>{{Internetquelle |autor=Nukeitall |url=https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rule%2034 |titel=Urban Dictionary: Rule 34 |werk=Urban Dictionary |datum=2006-03-30 |sprache=en |archiv-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220427131138/https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rule%2034 |archiv-datum=2022-04-27 |abruf=2022-05-08}}</ref> Demzufolge ist „Rule 34 eine allgemein akzeptierte Internetregel, die feststellt, dass sich aus jedem vorstellbaren Gegenstand sexuell ausgerichtetes Material herstellen lässt.“

==History==
The video was taped by then-freshman reporter [[Chris Reason]] at ''[[Seven News]]''.<ref name="SMH"/> Reason's reporting said that the man was arrested in a case of mistaken identity ("the police thought they'd caught Queensland's most wanted"). Other later sources said he was a dine and dasher, or an international criminal, while officer Dean Biron who attended the scene recalled he was wanted on 19 counts of fraud and receiving stolen goods worth $70,000.<ref name="Biron" /> Karlson, who's identity as the man at that stage was not known, gave his name as Cecil George Edwards, one of several aliases that included Johann Kelmut Karlson and Cecil Gerry Edwards.<ref name="YouTube" /><ref name="SMH">{{cite news |last1=Drevikovsky |first1=Janek |title='This is democracy manifest': Mystery star of viral video found at last |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/this-is-democracy-manifest-mystery-star-of-viral-video-found-at-last-20200307-p547vr.html |access-date=19 March 2020 |work=[[Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=8 March 2020}}</ref> The clip remained obscure until a raw video version was uploaded to the internet in January 2009 when it became an immediate viral video.<ref name="guardian" />

The raw footage was missing Reason's [[voice-over]] explaining who the man was, or what the incident was about, and internet speculation attempted to resolve the mystery. Theories about the man's identity centered on Paul Charles Dozsa, a Hungarian chess player and notorious dine and dasher,<ref name="Leedham">{{cite web |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/page/14741210 |title=Thief served up his just deserts |work=[[The Canberra Times]] |first1=Nicole|last1=Leedham |date=4 May 1995 |page=1 |access-date=23 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/29530440/the-sydney-morning-herald/ |title=Ex-Chef eats on the run again |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |author=Paul Chamberlin |date=3 November 1988 |access-date=23 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://apnews.com/b53ec4af31a70881f9e5db8ea3b71164 |title=Former Chef Fined For 54th Eating Offense |work=[[Associated Press]] |date=2 November 1988 |access-date=23 March 2020}}</ref><ref name="Phillips">{{cite news |url=https://www.sickchirpse.com/backstory-democracy-manifest-guy/ |title=The Backstory Behind 'Democracy Manifest' Guy Is As Funny As His Video |first1=Daisy |last1=Phillips |date=11 June 2016 |work=[[Sick Chirpse]] |access-date=23 March 2020}}</ref> but there were also serious doubts about this theory. Observers asked why the arrest was filmed from so many angles, why it was filmed at all and why the allegedly Hungarian man did not sound Hungarian.

Surrounded by police, the man is amazed at being arrested, exclaiming: "Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!"

"Democracy Manifest" (also known as "Succulent Chinese Meal", among other names) is an October 1991 Australian news segment video by reporter Chris Reason. The Guardian, in 2019, called it "perhaps the pre-eminent Australian meme of the past 10 years".[1] YouTube has several postings of the video with more than a million views each.[2]

It features a man, later identified as Jack Karlson,[3][4][5] who is being arrested at a Fortitude Valley, Brisbane Chinese restaurant. As the police arrest him, he exclaims various remarks such as "Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!", "What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?", "Get your hand off my penis!", and after an aborted attempt by a police officer to headlock him, "I see that you know your judo well."

The video was made on 11 October 1991,[6] but it was not uploaded to the Internet until 2009. A mystery developed about who the man was, with theories centering on Hungarian chess player Paul Charles Dozsa, known for his dine-and-dash exploits. In 2020, an Australian man, later identified as Jack Karlson, appeared in a music video by Australian punk rock band The Chats and revealed himself as the man in the now-viral 1991 video; his identity has since been confirmed.[3][4] Karlson, who had been a serial prison escapee, was arrested for alleged credit card fraud by the Queensland Police Service, after being wrongly identified as one of Australia's most-wanted criminals. He maintains his innocence.[7]

Synopsis

The video shows Karlson being escorted by police out of a Chinese restaurant into a waiting police car.[8] He says, "You just assured me that I could speak." He is clearly agitated by this situation, and when told he is being placed under arrest he exclaims, "I am under what?" As police try to wrestle him into the car, the man says, "Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest."[9] As he is being forced inside the car, he says, "Have a look at the headlock here." As the scuffle continues, Karlson says "See that gentleman over there ...", then suddenly shouts, "Get your hand off my penis![10][11] This is the bloke who got me on the penis, people."[12] and as he is being handcuffed asks, "Why did you do this to me? What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?"[13] As the police struggle to restrain the man, he says "Ooh, that's a nice headlock, sir", then states, "Ah, yes. I see that you know your judo well." He is then forced into the car, feet-first, while asking someone inside the vehicle, "And you, sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis?", "How dare ... get your hands off me",[14] and then bidding bystanders "ta ta and farewell".[5]

History

The video was taped by then-freshman reporter Chris Reason at Seven News.[15] Reason's reporting said that the man was arrested in a case of mistaken identity ("the police thought they'd caught Queensland's most wanted"). Other later sources said he was a dine and dasher, or an international criminal, while officer Dean Biron who attended the scene recalled he was wanted on 19 counts of fraud and receiving stolen goods worth $70,000.[6] Karlson, who's identity as the man at that stage was not known, gave his name as Cecil George Edwards, one of several aliases that included Johann Kelmut Karlson and Cecil Gerry Edwards.[16][15] The clip remained obscure until a raw video version was uploaded to the internet in January 2009 when it became an immediate viral video.[1]

The raw footage was missing Reason's voice-over explaining who the man was, or what the incident was about, and internet speculation attempted to resolve the mystery. Theories about the man's identity centered on Paul Charles Dozsa, a Hungarian chess player and notorious dine and dasher,[17][18][19][20] but there were also serious doubts about this theory. Observers asked why the arrest was filmed from so many angles, why it was filmed at all and why the allegedly Hungarian man did not sound Hungarian. Friends, family and acquaintances of Dozsa also stated that the man in the video was not Dozsa.[21][22][23][24][25] Other theories included that the man was politician John Bartlett, the video was a skit from an unidentified television show, or that the man was a real dine and dasher named Gregory John Ziegler.[26]

The mystery of the man's identity continued until 2020, when Australian punk band The Chats published a music video titled "Dine 'N Dash" that re-created the viral video with an older man acting the part of the arrestee.[27][28] The actor then identified himself in an interview with Sydney Morning Herald as "Cecil George Edwards", the man in the viral video; he was now going by the name of "Jack K". Asked why he made such a show during the arrest, he said he wanted to appear crazy so he might be placed into an asylum where it would be easier to escape. It was also revealed he had an artistic career making paintings, including some of the arrest.[15] That same year, a man only identified as "Mr Democracy Manifest" was interviewed in a video regarding the incident for Sportsbet.[29] In 2021, Seven News covered the story of the arrest, interviewing both Chris Reason and the man arrested in the original video, who only gave his name as Jack. When asked for his surname, he jokingly replied "it depends which one you want".[16] The man has subsequently been identified by journalists as Jack Karlson.[30][31]

The Radio National program Earshot broadcast an hour-long biographical documentary on the incident in January 2022.[31] In June 2022, academic Dean Biron, who was one of the arresting officers accused in the "Get your hands off my penis" part of the video, wrote an article about the incident. Biron gave his version of events, such as why the police were making the arrest, stating that, contrary to other reports made, it was not considered a major case. Biron said that after the arrest, the man - who had used the Edwards alias - was held in police custody and then released on bail overnight, and disappeared until his "15 minutes of fame" in 2020, "somehow scrubbed clean of that pesky past".[6]

In 2023, true crime author Mark Dapin published a biography of Karlson titled Carnage: A Succulent Chinese Meal, Mr. Rent-a-Kill and the Australian Manson Murders. He interviewed Karlson and followed leads to other crimes and criminals.[30][32][33]

Influence

Since being uploaded to YouTube in 2009, the video has become a viral hit in Australian culture.[15] When Australian activist Julian Assange was arrested at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in 2019, comparisons were made between both respective arrests and "it didn't take long for Aussies to all make the same joke".[34]

Mac Miller (under his production alias Larry Fisherman) sampled the video in his 2015 instrumental mixtape Run-On Sentences, Volume Two.[35] In 2019, an orchestral soundtrack to the footage was performed at a Sydney opera centre.[36]

Australian horse racing trainer Chris Waller trains 'Democracy Manifest', a horse owned by Steve Allam,[37] most notable for winning the $150,000 Catanach Jewellers Handicap at Randwick Racecourse on April 15, 2023.[38]
