Nothing shocking here.
Meiwes read a Star Trek book for three hours whilst his voluntary victim was bleeding to death in the bath.

Voluntary.
That's the most [expletive] up part about all this. I mean if you want to die that's weird but you can do it in a much less painful way than bleeding to death! Why would you want to bleed to death? Or die? Or be eaten? Wow.

Probably didn't feel too strongly about living but didn't want to kill himself.C. Johny wrote:Voluntary.That's the most [expletive] up part about all this.

Bleeding to death (though of course not by having your genital hacked off) can actually be one of the more painless methods of sucide.
Blood-letting releases endorphins and it acts as a mood-enhancer, which helps to explain people who cut themselves when they're depressed.

There's actually a movie based on that whole thing. It's called "Love Actually".
I keed, I keed- it's called "Cannibal", I think. Omaha has seen it.

I remember when that happened. They were pretty frustrated because there weren't any laws against cannibalism and they weren't sure if they could get a conviction against him since his "victim" volunteered.
