What was the cannibal Holocaust?

This answer is from a topic about prohibited movie, I chose to copy-paste this part which is well-written.

What movie was the most prohibited from screens

Cannibal Holocaust (1980) is a controversial exploitation film which was banned in Australia (where the ban has since been lifted), Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy, due to its depiction of graphic rape, torture, and the killings of real animals. It was conceived by Gianfranco Clerici and Giorgio Stegani, and made under the direction of Ruggero Deodato with a budget of around 100,000 USD. It is probably the best-known and most financially successful of the exploitation subgenre of Italian cannibal films.

Cannibal Holocaust is often claimed to be banned in almost 60 countries (the IMDb states it holds the world record for the film banned in the most countries . The exact number has never been verified, however, as the producers have never released an actual list of the countries which have banned the film.

According to the IMDb, Cannibal Holocaust is known to be banned in at least eight countries as of 2006.

An example that describes an imaginary or fictitious situation

An example of a Hypothetical Question would be:

Take a stick of unit length and break it into three pieces, choosing the break points at random. (The break points are assumed to be chosen simultaneously.) What is the probability that the three pieces can be used to form a triangle?

Where can I meet cannibals?

I cannot think of a scenerio where you would need or even want to encounter the cannibal culture but I am a helpful person so I will help as much as possible. You're best chance to meet cannibal's would be the islands in the south pacific. Between the US state of Hawaii and south-eastern asia. There are many island's that have not been discovered yet. And many are being discovered everyday. Some are inhabited, and some even have a small population of cannibal's. I also heard Papau New Guinea has a cannibal culture in the northern islands. Although it is outlawed, and I cannot be sure it even exists. One more option is the South American islands, which are the same as the island's I mentioned earlier in terms of discovery and culture. I hope this helps, and I also hope you never encounter a cannibal population as they will not spare you, even if you have the same beliefs.

Where in Toronto and Richmond hill was cannibal girls filmed?

This just in. I wanted to find the century home where the girls lived..its clearly on a hilly road so I knew it must be north of Richmond Hill on the moraine, and I was right- it was filmed at May Jarvis's home at Hazelburn Farm in Aurora.. The downtown scenes were all shot in the town of Beaverton.

What does a human taste like?

William Buehler Seabrook, a journalist with the New York Times, traveled to West Africa and lived with the Guere tribe. He asked the chief what human meat tasted like, but the chief couldn't describe it to Seabrook's satisfaction. Seabrook had the opportunity to try it himself, a man while had recently died in an accident. He got a portion of stew with rice as well as a "sizeable rump steak, also a small loin roast to cook or have cooked" however he wanted. In his book "Jungle Ways," he described it as follows:

"It was like good, fully developed veal, not young, but not yet beef. It was very definitely like that, and it was not like any other meat I had ever tasted. It was so nearly like good, fully developed veal that I think no person with a palate of ordinary, normal sensitiveness could distinguish it from veal. It was mild, good meat with no other sharply defined or highly characteristic taste such as for instance, goat, high game, and pork have. The steak was slightly tougher than prime veal, a little stringy, but not too tough or stringy to be agreeably edible. The roast, from which I cut and ate a central slice, was tender, and in color, texture, smell as well as taste, strengthened my certainty that of all the meats we habitually know, veal is the one meat to which this meat is accurately comparable."

The Polynesians and Melanesians in the South Pacific called Europeans 'Long Pig' because they claimed their flesh tasted sweet like pork and much different compared to their neighbors. American firefighters often cannot stand the smell of bacon because it reminds them of burnt human flesh.

So we have two opinions: veal and pork.

As with any meat sold in the market, the taste will vary depending on what the person was raised on. A high-pork diet such as Europeans have, will result in a "pork" flavor. A high beef diet will result in a taste of veal (such as the quote above). An all-fish or vegan diet will produce a completely different taste.

People in Vanuatu (South Pacitic) say they still terribly miss eating human meat, both as a source of protein and the ultimate way to humiliate members of rival villages. They claim female flesh tastes considerably better than male, although this is due to the fact that the men spend much of their time drinking the strong peppery Kava plant, which "taints the meat." So again, it depends upon one's diet.

The person's health would obviously affect the quality. A sickly person would be like eating a sick cow. The meat would be tainted and frankly unhealthy. Someone obese would have a greasier flavor than someone lean.

So in conclusion, the flavor of human meat depends upon one's diet and health. Age and sex many play a role as well.
I've heard that it tastes like chicken but i don't know! Also, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT EATING HUMAN! YOU WILL BE A CANNIBLE! :)

(2) a more likely assumption is it tastes like pork as Pacific Island cannibals referred to human flesh as 'long pork'. As with animal meat I assume that different cuts (heart, kidney, liver, the flesh from the thigh) would have different flavours.

Is it ok to eat after running?

Yes. You should eat protein within 15-30 minutes of running. Peanut butter is extremely good for this. This helps your muscles to repair themselves.

Why should marketers consider segmentation as an important marketing decision?

Segmenting allows for more effective advertising through it's marketing within a target market which equates to larger ROI depending on the medias and methods used to deliver the advertising messages.

Why is punching a bad thing to do?

Punching a person is considered a "good thing" for obvious reasons. Did the person who got punched specifically ask to be hit? Punching an object is also considered to be "good" since the stress that built up before the punch is still contained within the individual and will transfer to some other part of the body such as the stomache (ulcers). Punching holes in paperwould not be considered a "good thing" since you need to do this in order to place papers in a binder. Papers are people, too. Stop that ridiculous abuse! Rise in the PROTEST of PAPER ABUSE!!! But to really answer the philosphical question asked, you need to realize the country you are in. In America aggressive actions against any person is not considered a felony in court. Which may be the reason it is considered to be a "good thing." But in Iran or Saudi Arabia, if you physically hit your wife you are conisdered to be "disciplining" instead of "abusing".

Is it a bad thing to have a lisp?

It certainly is not a bad thing. It can be stressful, though, for some. Speech therapists may be able to offer help.

Do starving people eat a little bit?

The human body can survive up to 4 weeks without food, but damge to the liver and other major organs can accour after 2 weeks. Eventually they will shut down all together. The human body can not survive more than 3 days without water (fluids) So to answer your question starving people will either eat a bit or there history!
