Cannibalism and WMDs

tabular_rasaIn Writer's Block Unplugged today they asked: In a post-apocalypse world, if you had no choice but to eat other humans to survive, do you think you'd resort to cannibalism or starve to death? More importantly, which celebrity would you consume first, and why? and I enjoyed my response so I re-posted it here:
It depends on what I have to live for. If I had children to feed, I'm sure I'd do almost anything to try to keep them alive. I think I could get over the killing, the same way I've gotten over my initial qualms about gutting my own fish. After all, I am a meat-eater and ultimately we are all just meat, too.
But in my current circumstances, young with no dependents, I'm not sure I'd want to bother living in a world where I need to resort to killing people to survive. I might just opt to go and not bloody my hands before I do.
Starving to death sounds really awful, however. If I opted not to go cannibal, I'd ask someone who was hungry to put me out of my misery quickly and then they could reap the benefits of my still-nourished body.
And as for killing celebrities, I'd go for someone young, healthy, fit, and without dependents. Think teen stars like Justin Bieber, Dakota Fanning, or one the Jonas Brothers-- people who have healthy bodies, don't appear to have substance addictions (yet), and would probably be small enough for me to take down easily without much fight.
I also kind of want to kill Ke$ha but I'd be afraid to eat her.
And in other news, Tiffany hates me for this, but this went down on her wall after Tiffany forget just which countries the US is currently at war with:
Me (reposting what she said on her wall): " . . . or wherever the f*ck that war is!"
Tiffany: Rude. Seriously, lol.
Me: You said it, not me!
Tiffany: Girl, it is NOT my fault that it keeps moving countries every two seconds!
Me: Look, over there, it's a WMD!
Me: Psych! Made you look.
Tiffany:....you are so rude.
Me: The former president did it, not me!
Lolz.
