I don't give a Flying Freep who says what about Tom Cruise. The boy brings it on himself.

"But in this case, the cannibalism concerned Tom Cruise, not Terri, and it wasn't strictly cannibalism"

Of course it was. Here are some other examples that were really about Tom Cruise and placenta eating, and not really about cannibalism:

• "Did you hear about the cannibal who passed his grandmother in the woods?"

  "Two cannibals were eating a clown. One said to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
  One cannibal says, "I really hate my sister." Replies the other, "Well, just eat the noodles."
  When cannibals have a wedding, they toast the bride and groom."

See there? They really were about Tom Cruise and not really about cannibalism. Right? Weren't they?

No apology needed, it was just joking around. I'm not exactly offended by it. It was funny. Ha ha. I understand the humor, why it's funny, and what it is about this that makes it funny. I understand what part it is of some human's psyche that finds killing, dismembering and eating your fellow human beings to be one of the most hilarious things known to man. I simply want to register my objection and let it go at that.

My objection obviously arises from a serious character defect I have. The character defect that makes me want to oppose torture in all its manifestations. Whether it's doing it, ordering it, dictatorially issuing signing statements claiming you're exempt from laws against it, or condoning any of the previous by silence. Or getting your jollies from it.

[B-b-b-but... k-k-killing, dismembering and eating your fellow human beings isn't strictly torture in either the physical or psychological sense!!!! Yeah, right.]

>> They really were about Tom Cruise and not really about cannibalism. Right? Weren't they?

Tom Cruise's remark about eating the placenta started it. The other jokes were about cannibalism, of course.

There is an old story that when Alferd Packer was convicted of murdering (and eating) other miners in Colorado, the judge said to him, "Alferd Packer, you BLEEP BLEEP OF A BLEEP, there were only six Democrats in ____ County and you ate five of them!"

That's not cannibalism, that's redistricting :-)
