Human Meat Burgers!



Human MeatLast month a hotel restaurant located in Anambra, Nigerian was raided and shut down after local residents reported it served dishes made from human flesh

According to the International Business Times, Nigerian police were tipped-off by patrons and upon arrival; they discovered the ghoulish scene

Police recovered two fresh human heads wrapped in plastic. Human flesh was apparently being sold as an expensive treat at the restaurant. Authorities reported that roasted human heads were showcased on the menu. The police arrested 11 people (including the owner) from the hotel and seized AK-47 guns and other weapons.

Not every resident was shocked, one local vegetable merchant told the Nigerian newspaper Osun Defender, “I was not surprised when the police made this discovery. Each time I came to work at the market, I always noticed odd movements in and out of the hotel.” 

Incidents of cannibalism have been discovered in Nigeria before in rare cases but, the general population is horrified by this type of practice.

Is this Commercial Racist?

Kentucky Fried Chicken has a new commercial campaign airing in South Africa that is getting negative feedback. The chatter out there feels that KFC missed the politically correct mark. 

Some feel that the commercial is not racist but in fact insensitive and out of touch with what is appropriate. Others think there's a sentimental message conveyed with bridging a gap and creating a feeling of bonding as a larger community, while others see it as out right racism. What do you think?
