Another cannibal in the news

2009 12 Staden-Cannibalism

A professor at Sweden's Karolinska Institute is being held for reportedly cutting off his wife's lips and eating them, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. She was allegedly having an affair. From the Baltimore college student who allegedly ate his housemate's brain and heart to Miami's nude face-eater to Montreal's animal-torturing, human dismembering porn star, it's quite a week for grotesque murders and crazed cannibalism.

David Pescovitz is Boing Boing's co-editor/managing partner. He's also a research director at Institute for the Future. On Instagram, he's @pesco.

I’m from Wisconsin where pioneers like Gein and Dahmer were cannibals before it was cool. These latter-day poseurs have no creativity.

Oh yeah, that totally makes sense now.

My all-time favorite headline is that of a Malaysian English-language newspaper article about an episode of self-cannibalism, if you will: “Man Cuts Off Penis, Fries And Eats It.”
