Organization Hoax - Berlin's Cannibalistic Restaurant

About a year and a half ago, the website for 'Flime' mentions the opening of a new restaurant. On the website, shockingly, there was a plea for consumers around to donate a part of their body for their 'upcoming menu' and offering to pay for the cost for any hospital costs. They also ask for any 'open-minded' surgeon. The restaurant cites its inspiration from an indigenous Brazilian tribe called Waricaca, which is a tribe engaged in cannibalism, often believing that eating the human parts of a dead friend or family shows a connection between the living and the dead and helps with the mourning. They even named a couple of dishes they were to serve at the upcoming-restaurant. Obviously, this organization and restaurant received countless criticism and public outcry on the disgustingness and outrage on the promotion of cannibalism. Moreover, this had coincided with the recent event of cannibalism in Germany whereby a technician had been eaten by a self-confessed cannibal. However, on the day the restaurant was due to open, the website admitted that it was a hoax. It was an attempt by a German Vegetarian organization to raise awareness about eating meat, and its parallelism with eating human flesh. They use the line: "Every piece of meat is a piece of mankind" to emphasize their point. Although this was only a means of raising awareness, Flime had attracted much criticism for this method being inappropriate. Many critics and government officials had stated that the publicity they got for the 'cannibalism' far out-weighed their attempt to raise awareness about vegetarianism. I think this was a good comparison between eating meat and eating human flesh. On the other hand, although they had made a good point, I don't think that they should have used this as a way to raise awareness, particularly since there is actually a little cannibalism going around Germany, so they shouldn't have left it out in the open like they are promoting it. But also because of this event, German police are now taking a little more time to investigate underground cannibalism that is going around Germany.
