What really happened…

January 23, 2010

I have to admit it took me some time to calm down and to think about this whole cannibalism issue including the pictures I have seen. Since I did not want to believe my eyes I wanted to get behind the real story. So finally I plucked my courage to do some more research on this. And I can tell you for sure, the result really made me feel relieved!!! :D

I know cannibalism is by no means uncommon in some very isolated parts of the world. But with these pictures I had slight doubts whether Thai people really would be able to that at all. Fortunately things cleared up:

There were several groups of volunteers who went out and helped transporting the bodies of unidentified accident victims to the coroner office. This was due to the Thai coroner office lacks of having enough manpower to go out and to perform all the tasks of retrieving the bodies themselves.

These cruel pictures of harmless smiling Thai people cutting a black man into pieces are nothing else than a kind of photographic documentary of cemetary clean up ceremony. They came from an event hosted by one of the volunteer groups mentioned above. Many times the bodies were never claimed so they were actually stored in an unclaimed cemetary. But as soon as they run out of space to bury the bodies they had to clean out the cemetary.

So actually on these photos you can see the volunteers cleaning the cemetary by removing the unclaimed bodies. This needed to be done to create room for the new bodies. In order to maximize the space they kept the bones only, so they needed to remove the flesh (which later would be cremated).

These people have worked with the dead bodies for so long. That is why they did not bother to sit down and have their lunch next to them. Consequently they were not eating the corpses! What they did was just eating the rice with some stir-fry meat with ginger.

Hard to believe.

Hey guys…

…please, this is not for the faint-hearted – I mean it! Actually I was about to post something different and trust me I was seriously thinking about whether to post this or not, but lately I decided to do so since it is so shocking and beyond my own imagination: While doing some researches on Thai people I found pictures of Thais eating a black man!!!

If you judge yourself to be hard enough then just click on this picture and follow the link to view the whole thing.

I will never crack jokes like “eating you alive” again – I’ll promise! This is disgusting… and now my appetite is definitively gone.

Notice that I DO NOT intend to create a negative view on Thai people nor do I want to stir up prejudices against them! I could not trust my eyes either and I did not want to believe this since personally I used to have a very fair impression of them!
