Cannibals Go on Spring Break, Too

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

Didja hear the one about the cannibals on spring break and the hijinks that ensued? The tale spread this month via email forward, earning its way to the urban legend site Snopes. (In other news, spurious stories are apparently still being passed along as email forwards, but fortunately not among people we know.)

This is actually a variation on a much-older (by Internet standards--2001) urban legend involving a girl whose bf worked in a morgue. Her bf was getting busy with the corpses, a fun factoid which was discovered when maggots appeared in a most delicate place on the unfortunate gf's body.

False, obviously. 

So the tale has resurfaced this month with a spring break theme:

And the variations go on from there. Cannibals at spring break giving you sores and infections: dontcha hate when that happens?

Panama City Beach!  one of my favorite places in the world (just not during spring break - and it's not cause of the cannibalism)
