You Are What You Eat
It’s Monday again; I almost forgot. I’ve been at the beach for a few days and so every day has felt like Sunday to me. But I’m home now, and it is again time to share a bit of media with you all.
I don’t think I’m going to post a video this time, due to a combination of my sheer laziness and lack of motivation to find a suitable video to embed (and subsequently comment on/pick apart). So, I think the form of media I’m going to use today (I use the term “today” very loosely; as of writing this right now I’m actually in tomorrow) is going to be a photograph.
The picture itself is from a music video. I decided not to post the video itself, though I may one day in the future. I ran across it one day after reading about Armin Meiwes, a German man who wrote an online ad for his search for a person to kill and eat. Yes, I said eat. The ad got a couple of responses, but the final one was that of Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes, who met Meiwes at his home and, after sex with him, agreed to be slaughtered and consumed by Meiwes. Look it up yourself for more details–it’s a really interesting story. There are even pictures of Meiwes’ work around on the internet; he recorded himself doing the killing. 
Anyway, Rammstein made a song about it. Shortly after the video was produced. It is from the shooting of the video that this picture is taken:
I won’t go into the details about the video; watch it if you’d like, or wait around until I post it here myself. I just love this last part of the video in which Christopher Schneider emerges from the underground station with the other members of the band chained together on a leash. That’s intriguing to me, for many different reasons.
Finish tomorrow.
