WOW, I may not be the most refined person in the world, and I may not be as knowledgeable of the world's cultures as most, but I would have to think cannibalism would warrant more than an apology!
"This is our third apology but, unlike the first two, this one is being offered physically to the family of Mr. Baker," Ratu Filimoni Nawawabalavu, the village's chief, told The Associated Press.
Past apologies have not helped. In 1993, villagers presented the Methodist Church of Fiji with Baker's boots — which cannibals tried unsuccessfully to cook and eat.
Does Hallmark make a card for this one?
"Hey Bob, sorry we ate you relatives!"
I think the funniest thing about this is that they have tried to say "sorry" two other times!
There is a point when you do something to someone that there is no way you will ever be forgiven for, cannibalism has to right near the top of that list.
How about you cut your losses, and try this, DON'T EAT ANYMORE PEOPLE!!!!!
Anyway, I return you to your regularly scheduled bashing!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. The one stops and says 'Hey, does this taste funny to you?'

I don't personally find there to be anything wrong with Cannabalism. If anything, it's more economical then burying people in graveyards. We have enough dead animals that don't have enough meat on them to fertilize the earth. People should be nutirtious to eat because we should contain all the nutrients we need. Just let them eat people. If someone's realtives were dumb enough to wander off on an island that was inhabited by a violent tribe of cannabals, i think they deserved it. God damn it people. It's not that hard. When you vacation, don't pick a place where you're in mortal danger, then complain when you die. I don't go to iraq, I'll get shot or blown up in my hotel or something. Jeez. They eat people, we put them on reality TV, we all commit crimes against humanity, let it go. besides people taste soooooo good.

Well if people would quit bitching about christians going into third world countries and converting them, maybe it wouldn't be their religion anymore. Then they could stop eating people, and really, everyone benefits. Except Martha Stewart, whose most recent book, "How to serve man," is actually a canibal cook-book.

Telling cannibals not to eat people is like telling Christians not to pray to Jesus. It's part of their religion, and should be respected, not condemned.
