Cannibalism in live Holand tv show

Dutch broadcaster plans to show two presenters eating a small piece of one another's fried flesh. BNN said each man had a small piece of tissue surgically removed %u2013 one from his side and the other from his buttocks. Presenter Dennis Storm said, in a press release, that his motivation was a simple desire to know how human flesh tastes. A clip for the show %u2013 Guinea Pigs, which goes out tonight %u2013 shows the two men looking on as a chef fries tiny pieces of meat in a pan. In 2007, BNN aired a fake game show in which people who needed kidney transplants competed on live television for a supposedly terminally ill woman%u2019s kidney. The woman was an actress and the show was a hoax, but it was praised by some for raising awareness of the need for donors and went on to win an international Emmy award. Spokesman Thijs Verheij said the latest show was real, but acknowledged the broadcaster had lied about The Big Donor Show. He said the cannibalism episode had already been taped in front of witnesses. "With the donor show we had a point to make, now there%u2019s no point," he said. “If at the end of all the build-up we said 'just kidding,%u2019 we%u2019d look like fools.” One of the Netherland%u2019s best-known criminal defence lawyers is participating in the programme, and was quoted saying that cannibalism was not expressly illegal. However, “cutting and removing flesh from a healthy body without medical reason is illegal,” Gerard Spong said. “Eating meat obtained in this way is %u2026 punishable.” BNN targets a youth audience and has aired programmes such as Shooting and Swallowing, in which presenters used illegal drugs and performed sex acts.
