It says, “There are around 100 Aghori and their practices condemned by a billion Hindus” but they still find more to munch on.. and there is a modern translator?

I’d always assumed liberal skulls were filled with cheap slogans, vacuous ramblings, post-modernist angst - nothing that some Dawn and Clorox couldn’t clean out. But you make it sound like *gulp* it’s PURE NIETZCHEAN PHILOSOPHY! The HORROR!

This reporter believed he was dealing with a spiritual leader from a celebrated culture.

Truth is, he was partaking with a mentally disturbed mad man. I pray liberals never take power in this country again. These people are bat 54!7 crazy.

Shows how wasteful ISIS Islam is. They leave the decapitated heads out to rot.

"Truth is, he was partaking with a mentally disturbed mad man"

Sort of describes a certain pedophile warlord who started a sociopathic death cult, which liberals are now tripping over themselves to appease.

My friend’s family restaurant was recently on Bizarre Foods with what’s-his-name. Their specialty is calf fries. As she likes to explain them, “Calf fries are the difference between a bull and a steer.”

They’re not too bad, actually. Fried up nice with a good dipping sauce.

But I gotta draw the line at brains.

Females and children usually consumed the brain, the organ in which infectious prions were most concentrated, thus allowing for transmission of kuru. Thus, the disease was more prevalent among women and children.

That explains a lot.

He misunderstood his assignment. The boss said, ‘Our liberal views want to know what it is like to have brains..’

Well, maybe the show will get more entertaining then and become a comedy. Certainly would be better than the current.

Good stuff! You left out one part. Let me ammend if you don't mind:

Yelp Review: No ambiance, bad food crummy service, too many gods. One star.

The title is NOT satire. One reviewer wrote: "CNN Is Eating Your Brain Literally and Figuratively." CNN actually filmed and produced this. But it's worse than the title of this FR thread suggests:

CNN Host EATS HUMAN BRAIN! Life Threaten'd By Mystic CANNIBAL & POO Flung At Him

Ya think CNN might be a little desperate for ratings? Well, at least it's not the predictable anti-Trump sewage.

It is an appalling story, but the comments on this thread are very good.

I predict CNN, in a last ditch effort to grasp at a straw, will hold pay-per-view Islamic beheadings : )
