China Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Indian Documentary Exposes Cannibalism Among Secret Hindu Sect BOMBAY, India -- A new Indian documentary focuses on a secretive sect of Hindu ascetics who eat corpses in the belief that ingesting dead flesh will make them ageless and give them supernatural powers. "Feeding on the Dead," a 10-minute documentary, delves into the little-known world of the Aghori sect, whose holymen pluck dead bodies from the Ganges River in northern India. While the sect has been written about, they've rarely been filmed performing rituals. The director of the documentary said it took him more than three months to gain the trust of an Aghori and persuade him to be filmed while performing a cannibalistic ritual. Hindus generally cremate the dead, but bodies are sometimes ceremonially disposed of in the Ganges, and the Aghori find the corpses they need in the river.

Destino Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I think I saw those Aghori dudes on Wildboyz on MTV. Speaking of Cannibalism, anyone see the "Hufu" story on the Daily Show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure did. I have always wanted to eat another human being, but was afraid of going to prison. Well, I need not fret any more! Hufu is here! That's right folks, since there weren't enough food choices in America already, a bunch of freaks have designed a soy-based food that, and I quote, is "designed to resemble, as humanly possible, the taste and texture of human flesh...our food products would satisfy the tastes of even the most demanding cannibal." BTW - best line of the interview? "You need to make my nipples stiffen, and you're not doing it". Or perhaps, "Anthropology students? Wow, you could literally make...HUNDREDS of dollars."

redman Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 This is how they believe that "Mad Cow" disease came about. Cow product was being ground up and mixed into the grains that made up cow feed - the idea being that the protein that made up one cow had to be good for another one - and the disease was the body's response to cannibalism. The human cannibals in New Guinea commonly suffer from the disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The exciting taste of friends" or something like that, if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
