Penis Flambé

The personal ad on the Internet read "Seeking young, well-built 18- to 30-year-old for slaughter." It didn't say that you had to flambé your own penis and eat it too...
A German cannibal is now in custody after advertising for a victim, having a victim respond to the ad, and then slaughtering and eating the victim. Prosecutors have found videotapes of the act and a freezer packed with human flesh.
Apparently the cannibal and victim shared a last meal of the victim's cooked penis before the cannibal went ahead and killed the man.
It just goes to show that when you're answering a personal ad on the Internet, things that sound extremely unlikely are sometimes true.
