Check this out, I got it from YouTube, but it shows what this stuff is and how it's being used:

It's what happens when people get hooked on meth and eventually can't afford the actual drug. It's why kids started eating morning glory seeds and why people in Russia cook up a heroin alternative that literally rots their flesh.

Unbelievable, only in the United States. The pressure just builds up and up and finally they...eat a face? Idea

It's not like someone is going to eat your face off in Seocho-dong.

I consider the man who was attacked to be a victim of the drug war. If drugs were legal, cheap, safety-checked and out of the shadows, this would be far more rare. Either the addict would be able to afford safe drugs, or he would be able to seek treatment without fear of jail time. No face eating required.

Please check your grammar. The cliche's name is "zombocalypse".

First came Miami: the case of a naked man eating most of another man's face. Then Texas: a mother accused of killing her newborn, eating part of his brain and biting off three of his toes. Then Maryland, a college student telling police he killed a man, then ate his heart and part of his brain.

It was different in New Jersey, where a man stabbed himself 50 times and threw bits of his own intestines at police. They pepper-sprayed him, but he was not easily subdued.

He was, people started saying, acting like a zombie. And the whole discussion just kept growing, becoming a topic that the Internet couldn't seem to stop talking about.

The actual incidents are horrifying -- and, if how people are talking about them is any indication, fascinating. In an America where zombie imagery is used to peddle everything from tools and weapons to garden gnomes, they all but beg the comparison.

Violence, we're used to. Cannibalism and people who should fall down but don't? That feels like something else entirely.

My God. The U.S. must sound like the most screwed up place in the world when you hear such stories.

The media in the United States is so biased against knockoff drug users and zombie aficionados. Lets start a Facebook page and express our outrage!

Moral relativism carried out to its logical end.

Florida is doing it's best to keep ahead of Arizona for the "worst US state" title.


It's doing a good job so far:

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) � A woman was severely burned Monday after being doused in gasoline and lit on fire outside a 7-Eleven store in South Florida in a dispute with the father of her child, police said.

The 34-year-old woman was waiting in her silver Mercedes at the store shortly before 3 a.m., Boynton Beach Police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said. She was meeting her ex to pick up her 4-year-old son for whom they share custody.

Roosevelt Mondesir, 52, arrived in his white Jaguar without the boy and began throwing gasoline on the unidentified woman's car and body, according to a police affidavit. She tried to run away, but police said the man chased her with a knife and then ignited her.

In graphic surveillance video, a man can be seen threatening a woman with a large knife, struggling in the doorway of the store. "Get away from me!" she can be heard shouting.

They disappear from view until she returns in a massive fireball, screaming and running around the parking lot.

Officers searched by foot, with a police dog, and by helicopter before finding Mondesir several hours later in bushes near the 7-Eleven. He was charged with attempted first-degree murder and was being treated for burns at Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach before being transferred to jail.

It was not known if he had yet obtained an attorney.

The victim was not identified, but she is expected to survive. She was being treated at Delray Medical Center.

Police haven't said what led to the attack.

What? I loved planting morning glories... ;.; Childhood ruined T.T

Also, this is ridiculous... I think we need to get those "Mr. Yuk" stickers back out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Yuk)

ABC does a pretty interesting depiction of it. I personally don't like the attempt to blame Europe for the drug (or their pretty scanty journalism methods), but it's pretty informative.
