CNN Host Eats Human Brain. Seriously.
Cannibal News Network
Reza Aslan is a regular fixture on the set of CNN but a fresh face on the international cannibalism scene. To give you some context, Aslan is hosting a new program on CNN called Believer. The premise of the show is essentially Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown but focusing on religion instead of food. For the most part.
In the first episode, Aslan visits with the Aghori sect of Hinduism. When you think of tribal cannibals that still walk the earth — these are those people you’re thinking of. During his stay with the Aghoris, Aslan smeared a human’s cremated ashes on his skin, drank alcohol from a human’s skull, and yes, he ate a piece of a human brain.
In fairness to Aslan, he was pretty much peer pressured into doing it. At one point the leader of the Aghori group told him “I will cut your head off if you keep talking so much.” At that point, Aslan grabbed his camera crew and told them that this whole thing was a “big mistake” and that they should politely abandon the shoot.
Luckily for him, Aslan made it out alive and his story has gone viral. All he had to do was forego his values, sacrifice his integrity, and treat a human head like a sampler at Applebee’s. Go journalism!
