The Net: Where the Elite Meet to Deplete

At first glimpse, I thought The latest Vegan Porn entry was in regard to the same Internet suicide pact I posted recently. But when I actually read all the words, I saw it was about a different Internet suicide pact.

A man has confessed to killing and eating another man who volunteered to be killed in one of Germany's strangest cases in years, prosecutors said yesterday. The 41-year-old suspect recorded the crime on a video camera after finding the apparently willing victim through an advertisement posted on the Internet, the state prosecutor's office in the central German city of Kassel said in a statement.

I've omitted the most grisly details. C'mon, click it. You know you want to.

What's the deal here? Is The Sorrows of Young Werther enjoying renewed popularity or something? (Hmm. It is ranked 1946 on amazon.de.)

I noted that one myself. Originally I saw it in Rupert Murdoch's Sun so I wondered if it was as true as the articles in News of the World but I did later see it in a more reliable newspapers web site. I'd say I'll never see a more extreme sex fantasy brought to life but I fear that one day I'll be proven wrong.
