Make that skim milk please

Seriously creepy news headline. Peruvian Police: Gang Killed to Collect Human Fat.

According to this story, Peruvian thugs kill people, collect their fat, and sell it to a cosmetic company. The cosmetic company supposedly sells the products in Europe. No cosmetic company was actually named.

People are willing to do some pretty gruesome things in the pursuit of beauty. Waxing anything immediately comes to mind. But is there really someone on earth who would purposely rub human fat on themselves? What would that ad campaign look like?

And why bother to kill anyone? They could just pick up the trash at any plastic surgeon's office who does liposuction. There must be tons of the stuff in California alone.

And that raises an ugly question. Just where does all that...um...material go?

Eeyoooow. There's a picture that's going to be hard to forget.
