Kassel - The trial of a German cannibal, jailed for manslaughter Friday after killing and eating an apparently willing victim, has given a chilling insight into the secret world of extreme fetishism.
Armin Meiwes was sentenced to 8½ years in jail for fulfilling his dream of cannibalism and what the judges agreed was his victim's wish for "the ultimate kick".
But, without the internet, it might never have got so far.
"The deed would not have happened like that without the internet," said Meiwes's lawyer, Harald Ermel, afterwards. "It would have stayed in the realms of fantasy."
Presiding judge Volker Muetze, passing sentence in Kassel, central Germany, spoke of a barely believable online "sub-culture."
"This trial has opened the door to a world that one is tempted immediately to shut again."
Meiwes, a 42-year-old computer technician, met Bernd Juergen Brandes after advertising on a cannibal website under the pseudonym, Franky, for someone ready to be killed and eaten.
wtf is wrong with these people!
Posted by Muddy at January 30, 2004 04:47 PM | TrackBackMuddy! Why did you post this story? OK, granted it is your website....but still....GROSS! Not that the whole thing shocks or suprises me but still....yuck!
And some people don't believe in demonic activity. Wake up people and smell the demonic possession!
Now, people, if you would excuse me, I must go find a scrub brush small enough to shove in my ear and through my brain so that I may rid myself of this mental image this article has left behind....wish me luck.

Be wary that this be used as a ploy to control one of the last free mediums of communication.

I entered into the restroom, started to carry things out but was stopped by the tidy bowl man who orderd me to drop the brush and slowly back away from it. I had no choice but to comply. He's such a demandive little sucker.
