Human Flesh
For Sale For Cooking at Manbeef.com-Fiction!
Summary of
eRumor:
The
email says a shocking thing is happening at www.manbeef.com: the website is marketing human meat for human
consumption. You are encouraged to protest by putting our name
at the bottom of the email and circulating it among all your friends.
The Truth:
This is an elaborate hoax. www.manbeef.com did exist and had disgusted multitudes of people who have visited
the site. It claimed to be an online meat market that could
provide you with gourmet cuts of butchered human meat. The
site was well designed and included pictures, illustrations, and
recipes. According to a July 14, 2001 article in The
Columbian, however, the creator of manbeef.com admitted that it
does not market human flesh and that the whole set-up was a
joke
