German cannibal sues
Full story here:
COLOGNE, Germany - A German cannibal is taking legal action to stop the release of the horror film "Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story," which he claims is based on his life... Armin Meiwes... was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for eating a man he met over the Internet... Meiwes's lawyer, Harald Ermel, said the film is a "slavish re-enactment" of the real-life events and his client did not give permission to producer Atlantic Streamline to fictionalize his story... "I feel used," said Meiwes, who filmed the killing and confessed to the crime but denied it was murder since his victim volunteered to be eaten... Meiwes also is suing German rock band Rammstein, claiming its song "Mein Teil" (My Piece) refers to his case.
