Hooks In You

Sometimes, the world is so strange you can't even make up better stuff.  Consider this headline from CNN.com: "Meat hook dangling craze mystifies police."  When I first saw that, I figured it couldn't possibly mean what first sprang to mind - people hanging from meat hooks impaled through their bodies.  Consider this scene:

They [police] found that five young people had erected a bamboo tripod and hung meat hooks from it. A young woman, her feet brushing the surface of the shallow water, dangled from the frame, hooks embedded firmly in her shoulders
 
Emphasis quite definitely added by yours truly.  As a wise boy once said, "Dude, this is pretty fucked up."  Truly, these kids need jobs, or hobbies, or better drugs.  Possibly all three.
