The headline for this story is "Craigslist Cannibal's Diner plans spoiled by "Main Course."
The effectiveness of this headline is extremely great. It sums the story up in pretty much one sentence.
The article appeared on both MSN.COM and TODAY.COM. The link below is from Today.com. It was written on May 17th by Athima Chansanchai. Craigslist Cannibal
The article does a great job answering the "who, what, where, why" questions. Apparently Metej Curko wanted to eat someone on may 10th. He was hungry and had some sick fetish. He asked a swiss man who's name has not been released if he'd like to partake in this fetish, the man agreed.
This article follows the "inverted pyramid" nicely as most of the important information is at the top of the article. Towards the end of the article the facts get boring and are tedious.
The writer is extremely opinionated in this article by using colorful vocabulary such as "Grisly" and comparing the crime to show's she's more than likely seen.
The purpose of this article is to keep the public aware of all the sick psychos out there and also to entertain.
The way the article is written is to force you to one side of the issue. It's written to cast dark shadows on the criminal Curko, while making you feel sympathy for the victim. However, I do not take either side as the victim did agree to let the criminal eat him. The victim wanted to be dinner, and wimped out, that's the victims fault.
