Cannibal Run

nice to start by talking about fried pensises (penii?) as well..

i find it interesting that this article talks about this case 'collapsing' the last taboo. i'm wondering if the implication is that this sort of behaviour will now become socially acceptable. after all, it happened with eating pot noodle and buying stereophonics records, both of which are equally disturbing behaviour.

if so... you'd imagine this sort of thing would become something of a delicacy. there aren't likely to be too many willies to go round, are there? there's going to be a finite supply, and anyone eating more than one in their life is just being greedy.
i can imagine haute cuisine restaurants (actually, i've never been to a haute cuisine restaurant, but i'm trying to imagine one) having it on their menus - and the inevitable, eternal dilemna: green salad on the side, or just a few vegetables (not chips, this is a posh place, remember)..
and, of course, the tv programmes would follow suit: 'cook your own dick' would be a top-rated show. 'celebrity cook your own dick' might attract even higher audiences. perhaps jamie oliver could be invited to appear and we'd be treated to the hitherto unseen spectacle of one dick consuming another.

i wonder how women will respond to such behaviour? is cooking and eating one's own phallus merely a reinforcement of the paternalist paradigm that underpins our society?

as for your theory, nick, richie being eaten? its unlikely, isn't it? he wouldn't be the most rewarding meal. you want someone with a bit of MEAT on them. james dean bradfield, for example, would be a better band member to consume in such a manner.

accordingly, i've written to their management, and to http://www.manics.co.uk/, suggesting that james might like to chop off his penis and send it to me, so that i can cook it.

unfortunately, i've also remembered that i'm vegetarian, so i won't be able to touch the thing. when it comes, would anyone like it?

i'm already imagining the e-bay ads.

A vital point. But I fear wide of the mark. If I was serious for one second, I might be tempted to argue that the philosophical ramifications of cock culling and cooking could, contrary to your assertion, conceivably threaten the epistemological superstructure of the Capitalist model of Western civilisation, since this controlled process of emasculation, articulated and executed in accordance with Capitalist postmodern convention (embracing the modes and practices of advertising, the internet, mutual consent) hardly reinforces paternalism, rather it obliterates it, stewing it in its own juices, and consumes it with alacrity.

i'm also doubtful that this is the last taboo. i'm sure, somewhere, there are MUCH worse things than even this that humans could think about. however, it doesn't do us any good to think about what those might be.

1. i'm not sure that i could

2. it seems that some people find approaching this with humour a little distasteful and given that i'm new here, i'll respect that.

good response, though. shame i can't match it..

That's not even a new theory, it's a fact, have you seen how large JDB got after all that happened? You don't get that way having the occasional bowl of ice cream you know.

i'm actually wondering if someone really DID answer the advertisement in the story above. it would certainly be odd behavour, but it wouldn't be completely unbelievable, i don't think. not completely.

Hobart, have you by any chance tried searching for any of my posts to other threads? You've kind of quoted my credo to me.

what you said about infection fetishes: yes, i've read about that. i hadn't heard it called 'gift-giving' though (i actually wondered if you were referring to christmas, which isn't always very nice but not quite as bad as frying your own genitalia). i wonder if this only exists with this particular disease? do you get people wanting to 'share the gift' of herpes, or leprosy, for example?

perhaps the gift someone coming at life from that angle needs is a few hundred pounds worth of psychiatric assistance. sadly, that's probably harder to find someone willing to supply.

also - i'd be surprised if it was purely a gay thing, but i don't have any evidence or any studies on it to back me up there.

I keep going back to this line. It's the perfect combination of horrifying and absurd.

i find articles like that do tend to focus on gay people - whether that's because the fetish only exists in the gay community, or whether its because the process of coming out forces you to be more honest about sex, so its easier to get people to admit to this sort of thing, i don't know.

i sort of don't want to think about those people too much. and then sometimes it seems that its precisely the things we don't want to think about that we should be thinking about.

Right on I reckon. Acknowledgement of our own perversions, kinks, bents, twists, eccentricities, even our instincts is often portrayed as some sort of flaw, like distinction or individuality is a mark of failure perhaps... Well we are what we are, or maybe even, what we eat, anyway there is plenty to suggest that as a race we are little better than frightened pack animals.

It was pretty rough, because I felt a huge wave of sympathy that was tempered with a huge wave of "WELL, WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING, DIPSHIT????????"

In 2006, the Greek artist Doulo painted "Meiwes," a controversial abstract work celebrating Meiwes as a hero of the common man.

I thought about this for a minute and I think I have figured out how this angle must work. Meiwes is the hero of the common man because he got another man to eat his own fried penis. Am I missing anything?
