It's like rain on your wedding day...

I was just scrounging around on CNN looking for something to spark the blogging bug in my mind, thinking I was going to make fun of politics again ( I mean, what else IS there to talk about?). Then I see "Police: Wedding guests eat victim."

"Hmmm," I think to myself. *click*

Apparently, a few guys in the Philippines have been watching too many episodes of "The Sopranos" while simultaneously showing "Silence of the Lambs" on another TV set. At his daughter's wedding, Eladio Baule, got super-pissed at his cousin, Benjie Ganay, for accidently tripping and touching the bride's ass. So, instead of just yelling obscentities at him or throwing a few punches, Baule and a few other macho family members found the act so unforgiveable that they took the accidental-ass-grabber to a secluded place and stabbed the crap out of him. Now, to add insult to mortal injury, Baule and family then proceeded to roast their beloved cousin's remains using coconut leaves and kerosene ( They must have gotten that recipe from "Iron Chef"). After forcing another cousin (by using the age old knife-to-throat method) to eat some, they brought the rest of Ganay's gourmet body parts back to the wedding reception and served him up to the drunk guests who were still partying it up ("It's fun to stay at the YMCA....ooh, what's this meat? Mmmm, it's good....Young man, there's no need to feel down....").

So, Alanis...rain on your wedding day ain't so bad anymore now, is it?
