A man who put his body up for auction on eBay as a joke reportedly had a serious reply from someone claiming to be a cannibal.

Daniel O'Dee from Salford posted the joke advert after a drunken dare, and it was quickly removed by eBay staff.

But he was then shocked to get an email from someone calling himself 'Donnie, the Hanover cannibal' offering £2,000 for a 'fresh corpse'.

The emailer even claimed there was a syndicate of eBay users who helped fund the cost of buying corpses.

Even after Mr O'Dee emailed back explaining that it was a joke, 'Donnie' replied saying he was disappointed.

"I'm disappointed that is was your own body you were selling as I want one as soon as possible," the message read.

"If you have any other access to a fresh corpse I would be interested. I guarantee that it will be more than a fair price."

When Mr O'Dee did not reply to that email, he then received a death threat.

He said: "I'm trying to put it out of my mind. It's safe to say I won't be visiting Germany."

lol
i agree
and cmon guys, dont resort to things like "i thought they lived in tribes"
Its a way of life, one I don't personally agree with, but its somewhat religious to some people...
You don't hear people saying, "wow, since when did christians get email? I thought they lived in churches" or something like this (bad example I know, but yet again, its another late night =P)

yeah, thats another way to lok at it. My teacher once read me a paper that told of the barbaric ways of a society, the people known as the snacirema. if you look close thats americans spelled backwards, we didnt know this until she finished reading. It weas a different point of view from outsiders andwhat they think of our culture and it freaked the kids out. I must admit i was freaked out a bit too. So you never reakky know a culture unless youve lived it. and even then you still might not realize how it looks to others Wink

It seems like that article would be better if they just gave the culture a completely new name rather than making it obvious and ruining it for some people by just spelling Americans backwards. The essay sounds vaguely familiar to me. I probably read it at one point or another myself, but don't remember it too well. Is there anything in there that really strikes you that you'd like to share?
