HOLY flippin newscasts!
Wow. I usually tune into Cnn.com on a regular basis to check out the news. (Although this has nothing to do with my political status) Anywho, today I read two articles that are so 1. repugnant 2. hilarious that I had to share.
Story one is VERY Disturbing. I almost puked while reading...so of course I thought I´d share.

go there for full story. I´m just going to pull out some tidbits.
"I wanted to eat him, but I didn't want to kill him," Armin Meiwes, 44, told judges in three hours of testimony at his retrial.
He had admitted killing Berlin-based computer specialist Bernd-Juergen Brandes, 43, but was spared a murder conviction and a possible life sentence because the victim had demanded to be eaten.
Meiwes told the court, repeating much of his testimony from his first trial, that he had severed Brandes's penis at his request and that both had tried to eat it, without success.
Lawyer Harald Ermel acknowledged his client had a "fetish for human flesh", but said he was no longer a threat.
"Under the same circumstances he would never do something like that again," he said.
In a "slaughter room" fitted out with butcher's bench, meat hook and cage, Meiwes severed Brandt's penis and they both tried to eat it.
"Due to the consistency of the penis, this did not succeed, either raw or fried," Koehler said.
When Brandt fell unconscious, Meiwes slit his throat, pulled out his organs and chopped off his head. The next day, he froze portions of his flesh, eating some 20 kg (44 lb) of it over following months.
Psychiatrists found Meiwes deeply disturbed but sane.¨ (end quote)
Speechless. Are you KIDDING ME? Obviously I find several things very disturbing about this article. 1. I wanted to eat him but not kill him. Hmm? Is this possible? Can you really EAT something WITHOUT killing it? Last time I checked, um, NO! 2. The victim WANTED to be eaten. And there was someone who WANTED to eat him. What the heck? Who wakes up in the morning and says to themselves, ¨Man, I really hope someone eats me today.¨ 3. This guy only got EIGHT years in jail. Also, he served ¨human meatballs¨ to co workers. Yum...NOT! Can you imagine how you would have felt if you were one of those co workers? 4. Two men tried to EAT a penis. Nothing more needs to be said about that. 5. According to his lawyer he has a ¨fetish¨for human flesh, but he´s not a threat to society. Oh great, that´s comforting. I´m not sitting next to him on the bus. 6. This man had a SLAUGHTER room in his home. Giving the tour: ¨This here is the bathroom, bedroom, oh, and over here we have the SLAUGHTER room!!!¨ 7. And last but not least, a man who has a slaughter room, a fetish for human flesh, a man that severed off a penis and tried to eat it, followed by cutting off a head, ripping out organs, and eating almost 44 lbs of human flesh is considered...sane. God Bless America...(or Germany in this case) Said with 100 percent sarcasm of course.
Now, onto a lighter note

The African grey parrot kept squawking "I love you, Gary" as his owner, Chris Taylor, sat with girlfriend Suzy Collins on the sofa of their shared flat in Leeds, northern England.
But when Taylor saw Collins's embarrassed reaction, he realized she had been having an affair -- meeting her lover in the flat whilst Ziggy looked on, the UK's Press Association reported.
Ziggy even mimicked Collins's voice each time she answered her telephone, calling out "Hiya Gary," according to newspaper reports.
HILARIOUS! Careful all you parrot owners out there...they´re apparently listening!
Trying not to crave human flesh, or get caught having an affair by a parrot.
