Armadillo: Causing Leprosy? Don't Eat Armadillo!

We now have reason to believe that armadillo burgers or steaks are not the best option next time you peek across the face of an unsuspecting menu. A team of researchers from the Global Health Institute and Louisiana State University have done a study where they outline the connection of 33 wild armadillos known to have leprosy, and 50  human patients with leprosy. The results concluded with the discovery of a new strain of M. leprae, the 3I, which was found in 28 armadillos and 22 patients. The strain of leprosy was the same in both the humans and the armadillo. This was reified by the fact that 8 of the patients recalled having contact with armadillos, 2 in particular had ate armadillo meat.

Our conclusion is that armadillos carry a bacteria that can cause leprosy so don't eat armadillos and also Courtney Cox is cuter than an armadillo! One butcher near an area which supported a bountiful of armadillo and who regularly claimed to fellow citizens of the goodness contained in armadillo meat was interviewed about this research. In the interview such things were mentioned as the bad sanitation of eating armadillo if the possibility of contracting leprosy is a real threat, he replied to such inquiries with "I may or may not have said something resembling words but if words you be looking for then I am not a man to know what you mean', he could not tell us anymore than that? As confused as this man seemed, it should not be a surprise that he had no formal education and the cleavers looked like they were a third hand to him.

Avoid Armadillo meat, and next on the agenda is passion-fruit cheesecake, see you same time next week! You've all been wonderful. Goodnight ladies and gentlemen.

Borderline Art Sadism: Tattooed Pigs

Wim Delvoye is a Belgian neo-conceptual artist gaining some notoriety with the style of his art. One such project he has gotten a lot of attention over is his project on a Pig Farm in China. He tattooed death pigs as well as sedating breathing pigs too so he could dye their skin; for this artistic venture he traveled to China to avoid accusations of animal cruelty although he claims to be a vegetarian.

He has inked sculls, crosses, Louis Vuitton designs and designs connected to a pig's anatomical make-up. He has described the process of tattooing a live pig: "we sedate it, shave it and apply Vaseline to its skin." The official site of this artist, which bares more than a passing resemblance to the aesthetics of  the computer game The Sims when you enter it is http://www.wimdelvoye.be/ .

Evil GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons Kills Elephant On Camera

*NOTE: Link is now dead. The reason for it being taken down only further serves to highlight the killing*

Bob Parsons CEO of the Internet-hosting firm GoDaddy posted a video of himself in Zimbabwe killing an elephant, here is the sickening original video. With exposing what he does on his holidays, he certainly showed all the wrong colours. He epitomizes what is wrong with the morales of the corporate world. His pathetic argument that elephants destroy crops is implausible, we can deal with these situations by using chili- or tobacco-based deterrents to keep elephants out of farmers' fields for example, killing the elephant is retarded, maybe he should retitle the company GoGlobalExtinction.

We here at MRHP believe that the close elephant relatives of the elephant that died should all be given rifles and allowed to shoot Bob Parsons. May the spirits of Hannibal's legion haunt the shit out of the rich mutterfucker.
