The American Cannibal Society originated in California in 1998 as a tongue-in-check organization. Its motto is “Friends Don’t Let Friends Eat Friends”. ACS had a short lived hardcopy newsletter call “The People Eaters” that contained spoof articles (“Should Vampires be allowed Membership in the ACS?” “What will happen to America’s Burger Industry if Animals are granted Equal Rights with Humans?” “Should Christians who take Communion be granted ACS Membership?”), charts on the nutritional value of the human body and the benefits of cannibalism to modern society (Solve two problems; feed the homeless to the hungry). The newsletter was dropped when the ACS went Internet.
The original purpose of ACS’s macabre humor was to provoke thought and operated in the red until it became a web based business venture. It raised money for postage and printing by selling T-shirts with witty cannibal related sayings. The ACS continues to sell, “T-Shirts, Lingerie, and Gifts That Provoke Jaw Dropping Shock, Laughter, Envious Looks, and Causes Fundamentalists to Carry Garlic.”
The ACS’s founding has closely connected roots to a satirical Goth subculture, which is reflected by its association with Goth Monkey T-Shirts (www.GothMonkey.com). Carrying on the counter-culture business nature of the “Society”, there are no membership cards, no membership requirements (other than “wearing ACS merchandize”), no membership rights or privileges, expressly; no voting rights are attributed to membership.
