Did anyone else see Samantha Bee's Daily Show interview tonight?

[Up2Late]

I did think it was very funny, but...

For those who missed it, she interviewed a guy who has created, and is planing to sell a New Tofu Treat that has the taste and supposedly the consistency of...

...Human Flesh!

But the whole time I kept wanting her to ask the guy, Um, how do you know that it has the flavor of Human Flesh?!?!?

O.K., the interview might have crossed over the, "That's not funny, that's SICK" line, but really, shouldn't the police be investigating this guy?:shrug:

1. I haven't seen it yet

I'm taping it though and will watch tomorrow and saw the preview. I thought I was going to barf. Is this guy for real??

[liberalpragmatist]

2. That was OUTRAGEOUS

My friends and I were sitting around totally incredulous. How do they find these guys? Is this for real?

Too funny.

[Up2Late]

4. I think they find them through the wire service feeds.

Both AP and Reuters have "Weird News" sections.

Reuters
Oddly Enough

And yes, I Do think that guy saw completely serious about his "New Product."

I'm not a Psychiatrist, but I think the guy is a Psychopath.

3. I was actually having dinner at that point.... *yikes

If she hadn't made the comment about not making her "excited"... I would have yaked my dinner rather than spitting part of it across the room. :rofl:

5. The guy was freaky! Wants to be an Arms Dealer next? Sounds like a FReeper

[stevietheman]

6. Yeah. That was the most bizarre Daily Show segment I've seen. n/t

[crispini]

7. Was that real?

I was just like :wtf:

[Silent3]

8. What I want to know...

...is how you test whether you've managed to get the taste and texture just right? :9

[Up2Late]

9. Exactly my question too.

Hey, Welcome to DU Kerry4Kerry :toast:

[targetpractice]

10. www.eathufu.com

The Eat Hufu web site.

All your questions should be answered there.

[Up2Late]

12. Not really, now I'm REALLY confused...

Here's a quote from the website:

"Serano Nanito
These native dumplings filled with hufu (or human flesh), sago and yam are prized for their taste as well as their ability to make you fierce and brave in tribal combat."

"...hufu (or human flesh)..."??? Kind of like when they say on the potato chips bag, "contains Soy Oil, Peanut Oil, Palm Oil, or Safflower Oil..."

[Swamp Rat]

11. LOL!

I thought it was hilarious. He also wants to sell guns in Yugoslavia. :rofl:

[kitkat65]

13. No "tastes like chicken" jokes yet?

But seriously, do you suppose human flesh falls into the white or red meat category? The other other white meat? How does it affect cholestorol? And if a nice bottle of kee-yan-tee goes well with liver and fava beans, what would go well with ribs and potato salad?

[Up2Late]

16. I'm sure it depend on which part you choose

Leg Calf, probably Dark, 6 pack??? maybe white meat...
Oh man, just the thought of that is making me ill, seriously. :puke:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

14. Remember the name: Mark Nuckols

Pronounced "Knuckles." With his dreams as a future arms dealer, Mr. Nuckols is sure to be someone of whom it will be said, "I knew he was a sick fuck when he first showed up trying to sell people-flavored soyburger."

From his FAQs:

Mark Nuckols is the founder and CEO of Hufu, LLC. Mark graduated with honors in 2002 from the Georgetown University Law Center and is a member of the New York State bar. After practicing corporate law in London and Washington, DC for two years, Mark enrolled in the MBA program at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, where he is currently finishing his first year.

18. I was thinking exactly that... "write this name down"....

Certainly he will become a "person of interest" to the FBI at some point in the future.

[question everything]

15. What's weird is that earlier this evening there was a thread

about the Donner crossing, how O'Reilly thought it was in Colorado, or something.

And on PBS was the the whole story of the Donners and the other family and how they were stranded, etc.

And then, this report.

[lies and propaganda]

17. how she compared it to having sex with someone

who is wearing a bag with your sisters face on it....she is so creepy hilarious.

Though whole interview made me yell out probably ten times, though. really gross.
