[OMFG] Dutch TV Hosts Eat Each Other’s Flesh

 [OMFG] Dutch TV Hosts Eat Each Others Flesh

Two Dutch television-show hosts said they had their flesh cooked by a top chef and then dined on each other before a studio audience, explains a super bizarre report on ABC News.

Nothing is really that special when you’re talking about the taste of the meat,” host Dennis Storm told the site. “But it is weird to look into the eyes of a friend when you are chewing on his belly.

Part of Storm’s left butt cheek was carved out by a surgeon, while his co-host, Valerio Zeno, opted to have a piece of his abdomen removed, they say.

We went to the butcher, the surgeon and the studio, then we looked at each other and just ate it,” Storm said. “The special thing is, it was his flesh, of course.

There were no fava beans and chianti. Not even spices, just human flesh cooked medium rare.

The chef cooked it in a frying pan with sunflower oil,” Storm said. “We didn’t add any salt or pepper because we wanted to know what it tasted like.

They host a new show on BNN in the Netherlands called “Proefkonijnen” or, as its title translates, “Test Rabbits.

The punchline of the show is to get really simple answers on stupid questions, such as, ‘Can you shave with ketchup’ or ‘can you drive blind?’” Storm said. “And we wanted to find out how human flesh tasted.

The cannibalistic episode airs Wednesday in the Netherlands. Storm said the stunt, which has garnered a lot of media attention in Holland, was completely worth the pain in his behind.

It was just a few centimeters of meat,” he said. “And now I have a good story about that scar.READ MORE

Three fun OMFG bits stars with a Seattle based man was asking $1 million for what he says is a photo taken in 1870 of a Tennessee man that shows “a man who looks exactly like Nicolas Cage. Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of walking undead / vampire, et cetera, who quickens / reinvents himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.” The seller insisted the photo was authentic, and taken around the time of the Civil War.

[OMFG] Marilyn Manson’s NSFW New Video, ‘Born Villain’, Suspends Online

Before America learned the name “Marilyn Manson,” my friends and myself were obsessed with the shock rocker and his [Portrait of an] “American Family.” Having caught the world premiere of “Lunchbox” on MTV, I was at the record store as the doors opened picking up a copy. Next thing you know, I’m a 14-year-old walking around singing “Cake and Sodomy” (probably not the best thing to sing at the dinner table). To say I’m one of the first fans is an understatement; being scoffed at walking around wearing his shirt stating “this is your world in which we grow, and we will grow to hate you” was daily routine. Being asked, “who is she?” became a nuisance on its own. He was my shock rocker, the musician who defined by youth.

While I still get excited for each and every new album, it’s hard to not feel like he’s trying just a bit too hard. He’s not shocking anymore, he’s not scary, he’s not mysterious, and more importantly, he’s OLD. He’s just “not cool.” It’s sad, being that I listened to his albums so much that I actually found a way to damage them, but alas, it’s the truth.

Battling for fresh attention, Manson is back again with the first single off his upcoming studio album, “Born Villain,” which was directed by Shia LaBeouf, who states: “The song has all these references to ‘Macbeth’ and all this Shakespeare and heavy theology, so we tried to make Manson’s ‘Un Chien Andalou’ macabre ‘Macbeth’ — that’s sort of what that became.

You can watch the NSFW video inside that carries obvious inspirations from Takashi Miike, David Cronenberg and more importantly, old school Nine Inch Nails (“Happiness in Slavery”). It’s pretty good stuff, if you’re a Manson fan.

OMFG Of The Day: NSFW Video For Klaxons ‘Twin Flames’

So, in checking out io9, I came across an article with a video that just had to be shared: Klaxons’ ‘Twin Flames’. I warn you that it is NSFW as it contains nudity and sexual activity. However, I also want to add in that it’s probably not going to arouse you in any way, not like the Cephalic Carnage video did for me. Now THAT is a great way to start an evening off right! 

I also want to add in that something about this video kept making me say “Long live the new Flesh”. Hmm… Check after the jump for the very cool yet very odd video from Klaxons!
