#1 A settlement negotiator with the Tuhoe tribe, Tamati Kruger, told Radio New Zealand the joke was in poor taste.

#2 Man, if there's an American politician out there descended from the Donner Party, you goddamn know that it'd be a standard opening gag in his opponents' stump speeches.

I know *I'm* not eating at that new Rey Azteca restaurant that's opening up over by the dollar theatre.

#3 The PM could have said he finds cannibalism "distasteful." Or, "If you don't like my remarks, you can just eat me." "I've got a bone to pick with you?" Or, "You all act as if you have no spleen." "You need to grow a set?"

#11 Then there's the cannibal who couldn't stomach his mother-in-law.

The one who threw up his arms in disgust.

The one who passed his brother in the woods.
