Wow that does not look fun, does it? I love how Reza’s asking his camera crew if he can just bolt it when the leader talks about cutting his head off. Don’t blame you mate.

So why did he eat brains in the first place? Well, it was all part of an investigation of a small Hindu sect who practice cannibalism. It’s a pretty bold move in the first place, but he took it one step further by actually eating human brain.

2/ I am very disturbed that CNN is using its power and influence to increase people’s misunderstanding and fear of Hinduism.

7/ “CANNIBALS,” perpetuated bizarre and ugly impressions of Hindus and their religion. CNN knows well that sensational, even false reporting

10/ for people of different religions. It is my sincere hope that CNN and Aslan will engage with the Hindu community moving forward

11/ to resolve the pain and outrage that the “Believer” episode on Hinduism has engendered in the community.

Ooft. Reza’s been getting Tweets left, right and centre about his meaty mishap. They might be scathing, but one thing’s for sure – I bet his ratings are through the roof. No publicity is bad publicity and all that.
