Welcome to another edition of Time Suck Short Sucks.

0:04.0

I'm Dan Cummins, and today I will be sharing the story of Isay Sagawa, the unrepentant cannibal.

0:10.2

I only wanted to bite into her and have a little taste, rather than actually consuming the meat.

0:15.8

Of course, I still have this sexual appetite of wanting to eat a beautiful woman's body.

0:19.9

For example, if a normal man fancied a girl,

0:22.8

he'd naturally feel a desire to see her as often as possible, to be close to her, to smell her and

0:27.6

0:34.4

understand, but the thing is, sure, I want to eat the girl, but I don't

1:14.4

Let's find out what this freak is made of and feel good about ourselves for not being quite this fucked up.

1:21.3

Or at least I sure hope none of you are quite as fucked up as this guy.

1:25.9

Words and ideas can change the world.

1:28.7

I hated her, but I wanted to love my mother.

1:30.8

I have a dream.

1:31.8

I'll plead not guilty right now.

Your only chance is to leave with us.
