Germany bans cannibal film?

Don't worry I don't have some fetish for cannibal films. It just struck me odd that they would ban a cannibal film. Not that Germans have a fetish either. They don't. You see.. I remember staying up kinda late one night back in 2001 watching some cannibal film on a German station. It wasn't evident that it was a cannibal film at first nor was it a 'horror' film per se. I don't remember the title but it amounted to some guy seeking out the 'ultimate' cullinary text of east asian origin. Which seemed normal enough at first. He eventually finds this text, which details how to eat and prepare.... people. The premier chef being hired for this preparation is shocked and intrigued at the same time. Of course, this leads to the climax of them doing just that. The movie was very bizarre to say the least.

This film was shown several more times on several more nights over the next year. Even the Dane's picked it up for a couple airings.

No one made a fuss then..... but no one knew Armin Meiwes either.
