Embarrassed by a nasty rumor on social media? Japanese insurer Sompo Holdings Inc. is offering “enjo” — or “flaming” — insurance to cover people and organizations who have suffered online ridicule, according to Rocket News.

The insurance, launched March 6, would also cover restaurants, fast-food and consumer products scorned by the public for any poorly thought-out marketing schemes or less-than-favorable product launches, the site reported.
