In Belgrade, a hunger strike turned into a cannibalistic protest when a Serbian union official cut off his own finger with a hacksaw and ate it. The incident sprang from the desperation of a group textile workers who have been waiting almost two years for unpaid wages and have been forced to survive meagerly on social benefits. The man made the difficult decision to sever his finger and consume it after he overheard a single mother of three at the protest state that she would cut off her own finger just to make a statement. The man acted first to save the woman from having to do the grisly deed herself. The union is already planning further self mutilations unless talks resume and their demands are met.

Now that’s what I call commitment!
Woah, I hope they get the wages, that’s crazy, two years! It’s taken this long for a rally?!
And really, does eating one little finger make you a cannibal? Was sort of romantic of him, in a morbid way…hope he gets her number :}
Holy fuck, that’s terrible. They’d better get the wages, or I’ll visit the place myself.
mmmmm tastey, nice severed finger, always a great protest
he did it to spare the woman having to do it? what a gentleman, don’t have men like that in america.
Wouldn’t it be funny if they never got better wages, and all of those people mutilated themselves for nothing?
“The man acted first to save the woman from having to do the grisly deed herself.” …that was nice of him!

Looks like he knows how to serve a man!
*insert cheesy drum sound here*
Haha, But seriously, That had to suck.
How come so many of your blog posts revolve around people eating things? Not that it isn’t interesting, it’s very interesting. I just find it strange.
“Wouldn’t it be funny if they never got better wages, and all of those people mutilated themselves for nothing?”
Oh, of course. Nothing funnier than self-destruction, serious pain and starvation, and ultimate failure.
Seriously. It isn’t funny at all.
this reminds me of your song how to serve man but this time in russian
i asked my serbian friend about this… i said: “http://villainsandvaudevillians.com/serbian-finger-food/ je to istina? Da li ste čuli o tome?”… she said “nisam, i to nije tacno. to je samo prica. to je odvratno…nisu srbi toliko ludi!
” lol, imma have to take her word for it this time, because, you think she would’ve heard about it!
