How much are you worth?

I finally watched Hostel last night. Can I just say… “Dude, that just isn’t fucking right! That is some seriously fuck up shit!” And as I am watching it I’m thinking to myself...

[“The possibilities of something like this actually happening? Scarily, yes…”]

[Shudders just thinking about it]

The premise is plausible. Two buddies decide to backpack across Europe. They meet up with another fellow traveler while in France, continuing to travel across Europe together. While in Amsterdam they meet a guy who tells them about a hostel in Slovakia that is just crawling with hot gorgeous babes just looking to fuck tourists. Of course being the typical single minded, penis head ruling horny young men that ALL men are, they all head off in the direction of this hostel. When they get there, everything is too good to be true. The trio finds that the hostel was everything and more of what they expected.

Then one by one they are never seen again, except for one. He later comes to find that the hostel is just a front for Elite Hunting. A provider of services catering to people who pay to live out their sick, twisted, demented fantasies of torturing and killing people.

$5,000 - Local
$10,000 - European
$25,000 – American

Now how’s that for a back packing vacation across Europe that you’ll never forget! Well, that is...if you live to tell about it.

Do you have your doubts? It’s only a movie right? Yes, I am fully aware that this is just a movie, however it is a movie based on actual similar happenings. Life imitates art as art imitates life, my friend, and this is a sick and twisted world we live in. Just think, I only thought about how possible this is but there are actually people out there that not only think about it, but act on it, and participate in it…

After all, we live in world that spawned Hitler, Hannibal Lecter, Jeffrey Dahlmer, etc…you get my drift. They just got caught…
