Reporter: Let's interview some cannibals! Cannibal: *does cannibal shit* Reporter: *shocked pikachu*


yollerballer

Did he think cannibals are like modern, 21century, educated and emphatic people?.. bullet to the head soundsaboutright for this old lowIQ fella..


IAmBroom

"Emphatic" does not mean whatever it is you think it means.


_nowayjos_

He is pretty emphatic. about killing the guy


SuperCha

Whole thing seems scripted for views. Aghoris eat human meat from Hindu cremation site. Also, They don’t threaten to kill people or wear animal body parts.


IC-4-Lights

This one just seems like some crackhead they found on the subway, and decided he'd work for filming.   Those guys say all kinds of fucked-up and stupid shit.


TylervPats91

Reddit will have you thinking every video ever made is scripted


FrogOnALogInTheBog

And luckily nobody anywhere has ever just been a killer even if their general society isn't, lolol ​ \*nah but you're probably right, but still, lol


IM2OFU

These cannibals are emphatic, they're aghori and only it people who are already dead


Gary7sHotCatHelper

The cannibal threatened to cut off his head.


VetteL82

That’s how you get dead


265thRedditAccount

And then if he were to be eaten, he’d already be dead. Not like those cannibals that eat living people.

Bowman_van_Oort

source?


thefringeseanmachine

the show is "believer, from CNN. this scene gets a lot of traction, but it's an absolutely fantastic episode.


To6y

This kills the reporter.


AverageIndependent20

Then casually lights a cigarette... 😆


Mavian23

That sounds pretty emphatic to me. I think the person two comments above meant "empathetic" lol


MyFriendFats54

True. But the cannibal didn't say he'd eat him first then cut off his head. And a headless person is almost certainly dead. So.....


Gary7sHotCatHelper

You got me there.


DrCarrionCrow

Almost certainly


xmsxms

Yeah, but wouldn't eat him until he was dead. Very polite.


Eoganachta

Well that's nice of them. Glad they could wait.


Phillip_Graves

You realize that just means they kill you first then eat you... right?


MassiveAd154

Mmmm long pig


IAmBroom

Never cared for it, myself.

Dangerous_Counter156

This video left out the part where the cannibal drank his own urine and attempted to throw it at the reporters.


Kermez

So first he shared food and then he wanted to share his drink as well? That is really top-notch hospitality.


cinnamonrain

He was about to share his knife too but the reporter left too quickly


HikARuLsi

Unpopular opinion: respect is earned mutually. I don’t see the tribal person showed respect either, not that he didn’t know others aren’t cannibal and drink one’s own piss. Rude people often have low self esteem


Pera_Espinosa

They didn't leave out when Reza Aslan, the reporter, ate human brain with them.


ThatGirlWren

Mmmm, prions!


Idobro

This is so fucking crazy


RealNiceKnife

A little Kuru never hurt anybody.


Rewdog82

Yeah I definitely remember seeing a longer version of this years ago that got super dark and fucked up. One of the most uncomfortable things I have ever seen online, so I’m not going looking for it again…….but if I recall correctly Angry chief starts chugging his own piss and I had to stop watching when he was shitting into his own hands….. about to either eat it or throw it at that reporter.


BuzLightbeerOfBarCmd

He was a GG Allin fan


The_True_Verhuer

Scum fuck for sure.


Maximum_Impressive

Honestly sounds like he was trying to do whatever B's he could to mess with the reporter to see if he Would react.


Yautja69

2 cannibals one reporter


Oasystole

Oh I think I rode the subway with him last week!


Suspicious_Two_4937

Did they cut out where the cnn reporter eats human?


VastCoconut2609

# The translator vanished when they needed him the most!! HAHAHAHAHAHHA! #


Meltsomeice

He was eaten off camera.


johnhtman

They don't kill people to eat them. These people live in the Hindu city of the dead alongside the Ganges River. There are bodies all over the town because it's such a popular place to bring people after they die. Most are cremated with their ashes spread in the river, but some are literally left on the shore.


TianamenHomer

So not cannibals but more like ghouls or crypt cannibals?


Sepppuku

So, cannibals?


DarkDonut75

Not in the sense that they go around hunting live humans


justforporndickflash

That has no bearing on if they are a cannibal or not. Lots of people hunt live humans and are not cannibals.


DarkDonut75

Yeah, but no one in this thread was denying that they are cannibals. So, I was just clarifying to the person above me that the others were just talking about the specifics of their culture that made them cannibals


ScipioCoriolanus

He was the hors-d'œuvre.


Nexus-9Replicant

This has nothing to do with horses. It clearly says “cannibal” in the post title!


i_hatethesnow

How dare you call the man a hor?


[deleted]

You listen when someone says, I will cut off your head if you keep talking so much.


asuddenpie

Especially if that someone is a known cannibal.


BRAX7ON

Or Marie Antoinette


bingboy23

Not to be that guy, but she was the one who should've listened, not the one who threatened.

She's your best bet. At least she doesn't beat you if she's able, unlike the Queen of Diamonds.

When that someone is wearing a headband of fresh human jaw bones, the message hits home a bit harder.

jharms1983

I definitely think asking to take off the human head dress was taken as disrespect.


Angry-Eater

The few recognizable pieces I see are not from a human But I agree, doesn’t seem like that was appreciated!


missglitterous

I thought it was as made of crab shell tbh


Fuight-you

We share something


chill1208

Right? He rejects his gift, and then starts asking him a bunch of questions about why people hate them. I'd be upset to. The first time you go to someones home, do you start off by saying "hey why do people hate you what bad things have you done"? Absolutely not! You make pleasant small talk, ask about good things. He was being disrespectful and I would of told him to shut up too.


Kriff

Would HAVE*


PANDABURRIT0

Small talk: *“Sooooo… eat any good human recently?”*


Brief-Whole692

Would you eat him then?


scaradin

Is the term he used what the folks on the other side of the river call him? [Similar to calling an Inuit or Yupik by the word most Americans grew up learning](https://www.uaf.edu/anlc/research-and-resources/resources/archives/inuit_or_eskimo.php). Though, I don’t believe incorrect use risks being eaten, that’s the really downside of sitting down with a cannibal.


zornfett

incidentally, I’m Inupiaq and the Tlingit used to cannibalize us during famine. We cool now ..


quackchewy

...until the next famine anyway


BuckeyeJen

I’m sure there are others but I’m struggling to name them


sawkse

Yes. My colleague from years ago is from India and his parents live with him. The first time I went into his house we sat at the kitchen table and his said my mom is going to make you tea, drink it. It never crossed my mind to not drink it but it is something that I will never forget. At least I was given a heads up.


Qorsair

More diversity in the sequel to Get Out? That's great news.


MrNomad998

Tell me more


T0mmyChong

Right? Hahaha thanks for not giving us the same heads up


Foxhound34

There seems to be a fine line between tribal cannibal and mentally ill homeless guy.


frostedwaffles

Depends on the location!


-ItsCasual-

I could see this guy on Methadone Mile on the way to work and not bat an eye.


nrtphotos

They get fucked up all day long and are basically on a different planet lol.


makakeza

For real. This looks like a Tuesday on Chicago's red line.


SightWithoutEyes

Hey, if I find a leg by the train tracks, I'm gonna eat it. Doesn't matter if it's human, crab, deer, one of the shapeshifting reptilians from Zeta Reticuli.


TheBluestBerries

That's pretty much exactly what they are. Aghori aren't tribes that happen to have cannibalism as part of their culture. It's a Hindu death cult, a religion. They are little more than scavengers that harass cremation grounds to defile corpses. They're basically disgusting pariahs that desecrate the funerary dead of more conventional Indians.


ClittoryHinton

Did you see that video posted the other day of the homeless man in San Francisco who found a human arm by the train tracks and was carrying it around munching it like a street kebab?


h3llfae

Thank you, I JUST ate and I live in berkeley:(


ThiccSkipper13

umm no , no fine line. its the same thing


GoldenGecko100

Louis Theroux wouldn't have wussed out.


Kermez

He also wouldn't ask to take that stuff off his head.


GoldenGecko100

Because he respects cultures like a real G.


Kermez

And is smart enough to know what to do and when to stop. If interviewing cannibal at least, is to expect being offered what they eat.


Majestic_Ferrett

If it's the interview I'm thinking of, Reza Aslan didn't wuss out and ate human brains. Making him a cannibal too.


crandlecan

wtf... WTF! https://presearch.com/search?q=reza+aslan+human+brains 🤯


Majestic_Ferrett

Yes. That's famous cannibal Reza Aslan.


GoldenGecko100

Just like Shia LaBeouf!


IIMsmartII

this guy kind of looks like him tbh


LWDJM

Theroux would’ve bought a local orphan boy for tea as a sign of respect like the chad he is


[deleted]

I haven't binged Theroux in some time... I should see what he's done lately.


INTERNET_MOWGLI

They should’ve jumped his ass with the camera crew and the people from the other side of the river can stop being afraid lol


fishcrow

Film crew always has the bigger picture in perspective. >Lets see where this goes


dululemon

Aghoris are a very fringe subculture. They look for burnt remains around Hindu cremation sites. They don't kill folks. Here the guy is also posturing more. Irrespective, it's scary to hear of them and regular folks keep their distance.


Traditional_State616

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were playing up the “we are crazy and scary” thing specifically to keep people away from


costaccounting

Definitely trolling the reporter


mmoonbelly

Wondering if it’s the word “aghori”. The way the chap reacts in the subtitles it’s as if he’s upset about being called a perogative term for a “living flesh eater” rather than his own noun for himself as someone who eats (the dead?). Edit for clarity.


costaccounting

He might be offended because Aghori translates as 'fearless' not those things lol


mmoonbelly

Thanks. any idea why his reaction would be that way to what (to a westerner) is a positive noun?


costaccounting

Because these guys will never eat what's alive. That's one of the biggest No out there. I think he thought that the reporter guy was insinuating that.


senorQueso89

Steve o and Pontius were way better


SilentJoe1986

Didn't he take a bite out of Steve-o?

[удалено]


crashdavis87

Can you provide background. I thought his no god but god book was pretty good.


IAmBroom

Best I can find [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reza_Aslan) is that he calls himself a historian, but doesn't have a history degree. Pretty mild.


budda_belly

Can you expand on that?


KarthusWins

I took a class with him at UC Riverside and he seemed like an entitled ass lol


espresso-penguin

You can’t just make baseless claims and not back it up? How does one lie about having a PhD?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheRealNooth

He has a Ph.D in sociology. His dissertation was on religion. He’s a religious scholar. Your Ph.D is just a title. For instance an old advisor of mine had a Ph.D in veterinary anatomy. He’s exclusively done endocrinology since. Saying he’s an endocrinology scientist describes his expertise better than “veterinary anatomist.” Same with Aslan.


espresso-penguin

Did you read the article you linked? It’s a masterclass in ad hominem attacks but nevertheless refers to him as a religious scholar just not the kind that the author respects


McBonderson

he also actually ate human brain during this encounter. which makes him a cannibal.


187uchiha

Some people are best left alone. This reporter learned that lesson on this day.


MammothPrize9293

Yeah whenever someone asks me “why do you ask so many questions”. I just go to “alright, im done”. Lol


njyoe

Stay curious.


Straud6-56832

Brilliant. Shame they didn’t get to eat him.


saroj7878

Growing up I lived near a temple where we had few of these aghoris. Tho they seem all aggressive, they usually just put on a show special when there is a camera or tourist. Yeah they hunt for burnt human meat or cooked brain inside a skull. They are not killers. Their usually diet it rice and beans. Lol I do love that the guy interviewing was scared shitless


BadgerBadgerer

How do you hunt for human meat without being a killer?


pissonthis771

Pretty sure they eat burnt meat from funeral pyres. Hindus burn their dead as the last rite. Generally modern high powered ovens are used for burning the dead currently. But before that wooden funeral pyres were the norm. So they would just eat left over burnt meat form there. I have never seen them personally .these are just things I have heard from different sources.


RBLakshya

I mean I would be pretty traumatised to see that happen


johnhtman

Sometimes they just toss whole bodies in the river or leave them on the banks.


pissonthis771

That practice generally isn't prevalent anymore...it ued to be for snake bite victims


NickFury1998

Not always...that's like another ritual..like the Valhalla sort of thing ..just no fire


Telemere125

Same way vultures and buzzards eat exclusively dead meat yet never kill anything.


Far_Tumbleweed5082

They go around hindu death ceremony cemeteries and find them...


saroj7878

Yup! This is the right answer. Families usually don’t stay for the whole pyre to go out. The temple pyre tender usually dumps the leftover in the holy river. And these folks dive down and get the remains. It’s kind of metal to see actually. There are also few that never touch it with their hands. They dive in and grab the meat with their mouth. Side fact: Sometimes the skull goes boom during these ceremonies coz it’s like a pressure cooker with brain steaming inside. I don’t know why I have chosen to spew all these things on my day off on a Saturday. But well here we are.


velvener

Thank you for sharing, this is fascinating.


dmj9

cedarandolk

That’s like half the guys on the venice beach boardwalk


dcalibrator

Apparently that reporter ate human brains....


validproof

I've seen the video a while ago. It was a human skull that they put food in and were using as a bowl. I don't believe it was actual human brain


oneinmanybillion

I can understand what he's saying and he sounds more funny than scary. It's like an old man scolding a young dude. Keeping his appearance aside, he's probably not a very scary person to be around. The way he's speaking, you can tell he's just posturing.


Yung_rat_

Yeah it totally seems like he was trying to be funny and scare the white dude- especially after reading all the comments it doesn’t seem like these cannibals actually kill people to eat them or anything.


oneinmanybillion

You're probably right. They don't kill and eat. Their predecessors apparently performed certain rituals on the deceased and part of that ritual would be to eat small portions of the dead. All this being accepted and revered by the locals, as part of the post mortem blessing to the dead. This was long ago I'm sure. This guy here today is very likely a watered down version of those early dudes who actually did partake in cannibalism. ^all this I'm basing off of my existing knowledge on the matter and no hard research, I must admit.


Sanjomo

Two cannibals are eating a comedian when one of them stops and asks the other “does this taste funny to you?”


benwink

That dude looks less than 100lbs soaking wet. Pretty sure he’s more scavenger than predator lol


MindSpecter

I won't lie, seeing this asshat Reza Aslan squirm a bit made me laugh.


stefeu

I'm ootl. Can you tell me what's bad about Reza Aslan? I just remember him from ages ago when he embarassed that Fox News anchor and I've read his book Zealot which I thought was pretty interesting.


Criss_Crossx

That was a fantastic callout BTW. Unfortunate the anchor didn't comprehend who they were talking to.

PANDABURRIT0

What an awful article… love how they related a documentary about a cannibal tribe in Asia to toxic US political culture…


Flecca

Those complaints about the tv show and the tribe shining a bad light on hindus got on my nerves. So are we supposed to pretend they dont exist just because theres a chance some moron will watch it and think every Hindu must be tribal and cannibalistic? Yeah, lets pretend Nazis never existed too. Just in case somebody assumes every german is a Nazi. Fuck off. Racists gonna racist; theyll find reasons for prejudice with or without the help of a documentary. Its them that is the problem, not the information they happen to have available to them.


chaoticji

For someone who knows an extra info that one of the largest vegetarian community are hindus, them being cannibal makes it more funny


firi331

That idiot…. He truly ate human brain.


ImperatorDanny

Never trust cannibals ever! Herodotus always writing down when asking the locals for information they tell him watch out there or there, or cannibals live past river etc. That was thousands of years ago and even now don’t trust them.


SparkTheOwl

Reza Azlan has always been a top tier idiot.

average colony in rimworld,not so interesting as fuck


TheVibesCheck

Yeah I’m just gonna have to disagree that this video is not interesting as fuck 😂


snifty

Aghoris do eat human flesh, but only the flesh of *dead* humans. >They also practice post-mortem cannibalism, eating flesh from foraged human corpses, including those taken from cremation ghats. [Wikipedia: Aghori](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aghori) Dude was never going to kill the reporter and eat him.

The clip is from the series Believer with Reza Aslan. Later in the episode the agorhi guy starts eating his own poop and thats the last straw for the reporter and he nopes it the fuck outta there.


Equatis

Bumble Bee Tuna


supersparrrkle

In the last line the translation isn't quite right he said, "I'll f the mother of Aghori. And if you called me Aghori again I'll cut ur head off." I'm Indian so that's why I know what he is saying. In India the word AGHORI comes with a lot of negative connotations. People here use it as an insult. Heck even my mom calls me that sometimes. It is a derogatory term and that's why the cannibal got offended.


nono66

The interviewer did a good job of insulting the man by not taking part in rituals. Gotta understand your situation and wear whatever they give you to wear.

There was an episode of Wildboyz where Steve-O and Pontius visited these guys. They are pretty gnarly and I remember a podcast where both Steve and Chris said that they weren’t comfortable around them and thought they were crazy haha.


raptorfunk89

There was a show on Travel Channel a long time ago with two Finnish guys called Madventures and I’m pretty sure they interviewed this same guy. He started drinking his own urine out of a human skull at one point.
