Dutch TV cannibalism stunt a hoax

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- The Dutch network behind a TV show featuring hosts claiming to eat one another's flesh said the stunt was a hoax to raise awareness of organ donation.
Broadcaster BNN-TV sparked a flurry of online controversy when it released a teaser trailer for Wednesday's episode of "Guinea Pigs" indicating hosts Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno would be sampling one another's flesh after having pieces surgically removed and prepared by a chef, DutchNews.nl reported.
However, the network revealed Wednesday the events of the episode were a hoax designed to raise awareness of a shortage of organ donors, a British tabloid, The Sun, reported.
The network performed a similar stunt in 2007 when it announced a program would feature contestants competing for donated kidneys. Officials said that program also was a hoax to draw attention to organ donor shortages.

Grand Rapids man accused of selling counterfeit Toy Story 3, other movies

GRAND RAPIDS — The general manager of Tacos El Cunado is accused of selling pirated movies, including Toy Story 3 and The Karate Kid before they were released to DVD.
Juan Luna-Hernandez is accused of trafficking in pirated music and movies, illegal re-entry into the U.S. after deportation, and unlawful employment of illegal residents. He was named in a criminal complaint unsealed this week in U.S. District Court.
He is jailed pending a detention hearing next Tuesday.
The allegations arose after an investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which received information in June 2010 that Tacos El Cunado, 455 Burton St. SW., was “allegedly selling a large volume of counterfeit DVD and CD material,” special agent Scott Przekop wrote in court documents.
In August 2010, an undercover agent bought eight movies — Shreck Forever After, The Karate Kid, The Last Airbender, Eclipse, Robin Hood, Toy Story 3, The Princess and the Frog and Jennifer’s Body — for $40.
Przekop contacted an agency that investigates such claims, and the agency determined that the movies were counterfeit, he said. Four of the movies had not been released to DVD when the undercover agent bought them. A few months later, an agent bought another eight movies, including four that had yet to be released to DVD.
The restaurant had about 150 movies and 100 music CDs on display, Przekop wrote.
Earlier this month, agents executed a search warrant at the restaurant.
Police seized 355 counterfeit music CDs, and 150 counterfeit movie DVDs, which a Motion Picture Association of America representative said had a retail value of $5,455.
Luna-Hernandez was at the restaurant during the search. He said he sold counterfeit material at the direction of the owner, Hector Lopez Huerta. He said the business sold 20 to 30 CDs or DVDs a week, records showed.
He said two unknown men would show up every Friday morning in a white cargo van with new counterfeit supplies — at $2 a piece.
“Juan Luna-Hernandez claimed he is just selling the counterfeit goods to the public because the owner told him to do so, and he did not think of the consequences,” the agent wrote.
Luna-Hernandez then told investigators that the previous owner, who has since left for Mexico, had originally set up the arrangement for counterfeit sales, records showed.
Huerta has not been charged in this case.
Luna-Hernandez said he earned $800 in cash each week as general manager of the restaurant. He told investigators he had been removed from the U.S., but re-entered in Arizona on foot.

Dark Mission 2 & 3 - NASA Moon Hoax - Environmental Dangers & The Trouble with Rockets

This was the hardest film for us to post here at UFOTV as most of us were born around the Apollo era and we hold NASA's achievement of landing a Man on the Moon and bringing him safely back, as sacred. But in the interest of remaining neutral and posting all information on controversies in science, regardless of our personal beliefs and those of the management at UFOTV, we bring you what critics have chosen as the greatest filmed investigation on this matter to date. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Part 2: Environmental Dangers and Part 3: The Trouble with Rockets - This compelling video throws into serious doubt the authenticity of the Apollo missions and features information that challenges the declared abilities of NASA to successfully send a man to the Moon and return him safely to Earth. New evidence clearly suggests that NASA hoaxed pictures allegedly taken on the lunar surface. These findings are supported by analysis and the testimony of experts from a wide variety of scientific disciplines. As powerful as the evidence presented in this film and its sister film may seem, we highly recommend that you view our film called "Quantum Hologram & ESP - Astronaut Edgar Mitchell," that sheds light on Edgar Mitchell's experience as the 6th man to walk upon the Moon and his experience aboard Apollo 14 at that time. His experience during this mission as described on this presentation must not be overlooked. What Happened On the Moon? - An Investigation Into Apollo - NOW ON DVD - Full ...
