Anthea HarrisonAnthea Harrison from Guisborough in the North East of England shocked radio listeners earlier this week by announcing live on air that she had once devoured human flesh!

The 36 year old mum of two was taking part in a phone in organised by local radio station TFM asking listeners what the weirdest thing was they’d ever eaten. Local DJ Graham Mack was left stunned when she told him she’d once eaten a human being whilst living in Zambia.

Mrs Harrison said this to the presenter whilst live on air: “When I was a child we lived in Africa and we always went to the same butcher. We were there a couple of years and the meat started getting so much better.

“It was only after we moved back to England a couple of years later we realised the butcher had been arrested. He was killing little black girls and selling the meat.”

“It was a popular butcher’s because he had such good meat,” she later explained to reporters. “It was difficult to get good food over there but that was one thing that was particularly nice.”

GingerOver 5,000 people joined a Facebook group inspired by an episode of South Park that encouraged people to “Kick a Ginger” on National Kick A Ginger Day 2008.

Following a recent episode of the controversial cartoon South Park where fat character Cartman calls all people with red hair “soulless and evil” a 14 year old boy from Vancouver Canada started the Facebook group and saw it’s popularity rocket with thousands joining.

National Kick A Ginger Day was held on Thursday 20th November, and despite school teachers and parents pleading with gingerists to ignore the Facebook site, ginger children around the globe have reported being kicked and slapped that day by their peers.

Many people reported their attacks on the Facebook group page, boasting how they “kicked a ginger”.

The creator of the Facebook group, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has apologised to all gingers claiming it was only meant as a joke. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police however are investigating the situation as a “hate crime”.

“We do treat this sort of thing seriously,” a police spokeswoman told the Vancouver Sun newspaper. “This is sort of inciting hate. It’s a hate crime, really.”

This week is Canada’s bullying awareness week.

In retaliation to the campaign several opposing Facebook groups have been created with names ranging from the imaginatively titled “Don’t Kick A Ginger Day” with 16 members, to the slightly less impressive “kick a ginger day is predigest and stupid” with just 6 members, who are likely bad spellers.

Tanzanian AlbinoThe demand for albino body parts in Tanzania is spreading to neighbouring nations.

In the past two months three albinos have been murdered by criminal gangs in Burundi, which shares a border with Tanzania to the east. The latest victim is a six year old girl called Cizanye, a gang of men armed with rifles stormed the girls home and decapitated her with a machete, they then cut off her arms and legs and fled with the limbs.

Police believe the body parts will be sold to Witch Doctors in Tanzania where they will be made into lucky charms.

Despite efforts being made by the Tanzania Government to crack down on this barbarous crime, the number of gruesomely murdered albinos in Eastern Africa is still rising.

Swedish newspaper Expressen have exposed a network of perverts who regularly meet to have sex with animals.

The group of around 30 zoophiles operate from an online forum where they discuss bestiality and arrange meet-ups all over Sweden where members bring along their animals for intercourse. The administrator of the site is a 45 year old unmarried man who owns a farm with several dogs and horses, when Expressen’s reporter confronted the man about his mistreatment of animals he was quick to defend his relationship with a bitch he acquired from a family that wanted it re-housing in the country.

“Any of the times I did anything with her she was the one who backed into me and provoked it. She was in heat and made herself available. There were also times later when she didn’t want to and then I backed out immediately,” he told Expressen.

During their time with the group the Expressen reporter learned that they held regular meet-ups where people brought along their animals, and the events would be filmed then distributed to other bestiality enthusiasts. Some of the group members told the reporter of a previous meeting with a group member known as “Donkey Man”.

“He has a goat and a couple of donkeys. We tried with a donkey but it didn’t work. But we did have sex with the goat”.

Sex with animals is not illegal in Sweden, earlier this year Swedish Agricultural Minister Eskil Erlandsson caused controversy when he discussed the matter publicly.

“Is it, and should it be, legal to spread something on the genitalia that might smell or taste nice to a dog, in order to allow the dog to lick off whatever is spread on the genitalia?

“Should it be permitted to stroke a bitch’s teats with love, or should it be classified as animal sexual abuse?” the minister wondered.

SatanismBulgarian police are searching for alleged Satanist Evgeni Andreev, a computer animation specialist from Sofia, after he sent videos of household pets being fed to snakes to acquaintances he met online.

Andreev is alleged to own a large collection of dangerous snakes including large constrictors and venomous vipers, which he fed live cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs too whilst recording with a video camera. He would then send the video footage to people he met on online dating sites.

The prey animals were sourced by Andreev answering adverts for animals that needed re-housing, he would tell the pets owners that he was giving the animals to his girlfriend as gifts.

Police believe Andreev turned to Satanism after his mother died from cancer ten years ago, he is reported to have posted online messages on internet forums denouncing Christ. On one site Andreev posted “If Jesus exists, why did he let my mother go through this kind of torture, she was praying so hard and got nothing “.

Further evidence of his satanic links are said to be his fondness for horror movies Hellraiser and Silence of the Lambs.

Ruben OliverosDespite being blind due to his albinism, Russian immigrant Raffi Yessayan owned a “pimped” black Nissan sedan with custom rims. Because of his blindness Yessayan had to be chauffeured by fellow members of a street gang he was a involved in in Orange County California.

Police believe that fellow gang member, and supposed friend Ruben Alejandro Oliveros executed Yessayan by shooting him in the back of the head so he could steal his car and sell it for parts.

27 year old Oliveros could face life in prison, without the possibility of parole, if he is convicted of first degree murder during a robbery. Six other men have also been charged in connection with the murder, but Oliveros is said to be the man who pulled the trigger of the weapon which killed poor, blind Yessayan.

The slaying took place on the night of 06/06/06, Yessayan was being driven around in his car by Oliveros and two other men, Marco Antonio Charcas-Fernandez and Aurelio Fidencio Saldivar. Following an argument Oliveros pulled the black Nissan sedan over into a parking lot and shot Yessaman twice in the back of the head, the trio then took the car and broke it up to sell as parts. Yessaman’s corpse was discovered the next morning by joggers.

Four other men, one of them Oliveros’ brother, have been charged with being accessories to murder due to helping destroy evidence by dismantling the car.

Five members of a refugee party trying to reach Puerto Rico by boat from the Dominican Republic resorted to cannibalism when they were lost at sea.

33 Dominican Republic migrants set sail for Puerto Rico on October the 17th, after just two days the Captain of the vessel admitted they were lost and abandoned the boat and passengers adrift at sea. The group attempted to sustain themselves on rainwater, but began dying one by one. When only five survivors remained they agreed to start eating the corpses of the other passengers in a desperate bid to survive until they could be rescued.

“We had to eat him, to save our own lives. We cut from his leg and chest. We cut little pieces and swallowed them like pills. It’s like beef, almost the same” one survivor explained.

The five survivors were eventually picked up by the US Coast Guard on the November the 1st, but one woman has since died leaving just four out of 33 to make it.

Artist's ImpressionChild safety officials in Brisbane Australia are desperately trying to trace a heavily pregnant woman who is actively working as a prostitute.

The woman in question is reported to be in her twenties, addicted to heroin and eight months pregnant. She has advertised her services online and is targeting men with a “pregnancy fetish”.

In the ads the woman describes herself as a “damsel in distress” after her boyfriend dumped her whilst heavily pregnant and with no other means to support herself. She had previously worked as a prostitute and “retired” a number of years ago, but says she now finds it necessary to return to work again.

“It would be just near impossible or silly to find any type of employment or an employer that would employ someone for a few weeks … so’ I have decided to resume working” she states in her advertisement.

Australian newspaper Courier Mail have tried to contact the woman directly, and have reported the case to a Child Welfare organisation. However despite the obvious risks to the unborn child from sexually transmitted diseases and the mother’s drug use the authorities are unable to act other than to offer the woman counselling. It isn’t legal to intervene to protect a child until it is actually born.

Isabelle Dinoire, from Valenciennes, northern France, was the recipient of ground breaking face transplant surgery in November 2005 after her face was badly mauled by her pet Labrador.

Isabelle Dinoire BeforeIsabelle Dinoire After

But three years on from that momentous occasion she admits to an uncertainty concerning whose face she sees when she looks in the mirror.

“Before the operation, I expected my new face would look like me but it turned out after the operation that it was half me and half her(the donor).” She told French reporter Vanessa Pontet, adding that even three years on she is still having trouble coming to terms with her new features.

“It takes an awful lot of time to get used to someone else’s face. It’s a peculiar type of transplant.”

Miss Dinoire’s psychological difficulties will be troubling British surgeons who have only just been given permission by the NHS board of ethics to carry out the world’s first ever full face transplant. Because face transplants are not a life saving operation the board of ethics has always been hesitant to grant permission for their availability.

64 year old New Zealander David Browne has been nicknamed the “Picton Belcher” due to his antisocial habit of belching in women’s faces in the street.

Browne would approach women in the street, attack them verbally and then belch squarely in their faces. The same treatment was given to car drivers, Browne would wander into the road and confront drivers with the same behaviour he used on pedestrians.

This week a judge fined Browne $300 after he admitted to the charges. In his defence Browne said he behaved this way because people “looked at him funny”.
