[up] Truth on television?

Most cannibals don't want to eat themselves.

Heh, quite a page topper.

TBF, that's because in real life cannibals tend not to eat human flesh for the flavor but for sustenance.

Human flesh basically tastes like really bitter and strong pork. Blech.

Disgusted, but not surprised

It looks like raw beef though.

So if you ever eat a hamburger or a steak and think it tastes more like pork than beef...well, congrats on joining the Cannibal Club.

[up][up] We do make burgers out of pork, here, though.

Hell, unless you're a Muslim, pork is the main meat you're going to eat in Serbia (where I'm from).

Yes, I've eaten porkburgers too.

My point is that if you're served a burger you're told is a regular beef burger and looks one, but it tastes like pork...there's a non-zero chance you ate people.

Or whoever served it to you is a filthy liar who used pork instead of beef and figured you'd be too stupid to know the difference.

Humans are remarkably similar to pigs, so it wouldn't half surprise me if we tasted like them, too.

Food mascots wanting to be eaten is common enough we have a trope for it: Let's Meet the Meat.

How do you know a pig orgasm lasts thirty minutes?

[up] I heard it on some local game show.

It wasn't QI, by any chance?

The funny thing about that trope's quote is that pigs will absolutely commit cannibalism given the chance.

[up] Oh, no. It's a Serbian show where this guy (comedian, by trade) goes around the city with chairs (conveniently, the show is called 'The Chairs', it sounds better in Serbo-Croatian) asking people to answer a couple of questions for a chance to win a little less than 200 euros.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

"Thanks to John Oliver's weird obsession" could start up a lot of headlines about this show.
