Berlin 'cannibal' restaurant calls for diners to donate body parts for menu

The online campaign by Flime in Berlin has called for diners to "donate any part of their body" as well as looking for an "open-minded surgeon".

However, politicians have condemned the restaurant for being a tasteless PR stunt according to Der Spiegel.

So far the location of the restaurant, if there is one, has not been disclosed.

"Members" willing to participate in the cannibal "Wari-culture" of the restaurant are asked to fill out a form.

It includes questions about medical fitness, Body Mass Index, how often one exercises and even if the donor is pregnant.

The restaurant claims to be inspired by the "compassionate cannibalism" of the Brazilian Waricaca tribe.

The website explains: "We see feasting as a spiritual act, in which the spirit and strength of the consumed creature is given to the guests."

Michael Braun, vice chairman of Berlin's Christian Democrats told Bild newspaper that he had received emails complaining about the restaurant.

He said: "I am assuming it is a misguided joke. But it is disgusting.

"In particular because a resident of Berlin was murdered by a cannibal not too long ago."

It is thought that he was referring to self-styled cannibal Armin Meiwes who was sentenced to life in 2006 after killing and eating a fellow Berliner who volunteered for the task.

Bernd Jurgen Brandes, a computer technician, volunteered to be eaten by Meiwes in 2001. The cannibal chopped off Brandes' ####### and ate it after cooking it in garlic, salt and pepper.

He continued to eat the corpse over the next few months. By the time he was arrested Meiwes had eaten around 44lb of flesh.

This vividly recalls my favorite clean joke:

Two immigrants arrived in New York City by ship. After disembarking, they strolled the city, marveling at their new environs. They paused when they saw a corner hot-dog vendor. "I have heard that Americans eat dogs," the first immigrant said. "Strange," said his friend, "but if we wish to be American, we must do as the Americans do."

They approached the vendor: "Two dogs, please!" The vendor, happy to oblige, handed them two items wrapped in foil. The immigrants hastened to a park bench and began unwrapping their "dogs." The first immigrant froze in horror, then managed to whisper to his friend: "What part did YOU get?"

That's seriously f'ed up. I hope it's a joke.

I even have a hard time with jokes about cannibalism. I think I was traumatized by the scene in Hannibal when Ray Liotta was eating his own brain. *shiver*

Ray Liotta was eating his own brain.

Well, had he thrown it into the river instead, one could say "Brain is fish food, si man."

That one stuck with me as well. The part where he removed the top of his head just grossed me out.

The Donner Party

In history God-fearing people have on occasion resorted to cannibalism.

The example in Germany, however is not one where life is being threatened

or where outside stresses bring such desperate acts into play; it's just dumb.
