CANNIBAL SEX CULT GOES MAINSTREAM


one man's meat is another man's penis

What with 24 hour satellite TV, the internet, etc., it's pretty hard to stay underground these days. Even if you're a cannibal.

42 year old Armin Weiwes of Rotenburg, Germany, is on trial for the murder, castration and devouring of a 43-year-old computer specialist.



(you might say this deceased bachelor was serving it up on a plate)

Meiwes said there were "hundreds, thousands" of people seeking to fulfil their desires to eat humans or be eaten via Internet advertisements in forums called "Cannibal Cafe," "Guy Cannibals" and "Torturenet."

In testimony so frank it drew gasps from the public gallery, Meiwes said he had kept his victim's skull and plastic bags of flesh in his freezer. He ate about 44 pounds of the flesh, defrosting it bit by bit.

"With every piece of flesh I ate I remembered him," Meiwes, a self-assured and well-spoken computer repair man, told the judge. "It was like taking communion."

The killing took place in March 2001. Meiwes was arrested in December 2002 after police received a tip-off from someone who had seen one of his Internet adverts seeking a slaughter victim.

"He told me he had had the desire since he was a child to be slaughtered and eaten," Meiwes said. "He was very intelligent and I didn't see any sign that he was disturbed." Meiwes filmed the killing and the video tape may be shown to the court.

Defense lawyers have said the film shows Meiwes cutting off the victim's penis at the latter's request.

"It was important to him that his member be cut off and that he witness it," Meiwes said.

"He screamed terribly and jumped around the table but after a while he said he was surprised it didn't hurt and was very pleased that the wound bled so strongly," he added.

"It gave him pleasure."

Seems to me that if the victim(s) are consenting, well, who loses here? Their fantasies are fulfilled, and our boy Armin saves money on groceries. Is he really any different than Jack Kevorkian? Other than the hard-on and the cannibalism, that is.
