I think there should be a place on EO dedicated to Issei Sagawa, Japanese cannibal turned celebrity. He went to France, killed a Dutch student, ate most of her (he also tried to fry her anus), was caught, deported back to Japan, served about a year and a half, was released, and now is a major pop icon. He also fictionalized his accounts in a book whose title eludes me at the moment. Where would Sagawa fit? And if he fits anywhere, can he get a section?

That actually could fit into something I've been meaning to write. Thanks.

I remember reading about that guy a while back on Waiwai. It's ridiculous that the guy is actually famous in a good way -- people ask him his opinion on all sorts of crap and he doles it out as if he's some kind of sage. I think in the article I read he talked about the value of life or some shit. Dude, you ATE someone. Sick fuck. As a rule, I'm against the death penalty, but this dude really turns my stomach. What in blue blazes are you writing that could reasonably include him, Per? ;;; Some wacky obscure movie about cannibalism? Or perhaps a gingerbread man review?

Yeah, I'm considering doing an article on cannibalism and its position in pop culture. From the idealization of the fictional Lecter and the real-life Sagawa, the connections with vampyrism and the homoeriticism connected to it in some movies. I don't know if I ever get around to doing it, but I've got my antennas out for stuff to include just in case.

Personally I think this guy has the funniest story ever told. If I ever get a career in directing, I'm SO making a movie about it. People would either be fascinated, delighted, or nauseated. Or maybe their urethras would explode.
