For sale: Human skulls

Whoa.
http://www.boneroom.com/skulls/chinese.htm

I'm seriously tempted to buy one. Like, it would be probably seem like a cool conversation piece, but when someone asks you about it, you'll reply "yeah, I bought it off the internet" and then awkward silence would follow.

Remember that post a few moths back about that chinese based makeup that was using human skin/remains to make its base?

From prisoners.

Given China's human rights record. The lack of how this page gives any information. Plus, this is copied from one of the descriptions on the page:

Bubbling on surface of right frontal, possibly from exposure to high heat.

Leads me to think these in fact may may be from prisoners. Please, email them and see if they will respond where and how they get these skulls.

I could be wrong, but something isnt adding up in their statements on that page. In short, seems a "don't ask, don't tell" way of resolving any morality issues.

I'm not going to comment on the possible shadiness of how they aquired the skulls but man, what great images to use as reference! Thanks!

Aaaah, right. Was wondering why they were all from China.

Daz

They're no good. Some of them have teeth missing.

I went into the wrong business, these guys are getting $400 for a human skull!?!?

Illusions

This seems like a "How to make people disappear from China, no questions asked, no body to be found" and make a few bucks in the process...

Is it too late for me to become a midlevel chinese official?

hawken

no no, this is considered a cupon for that job.

I saw this a way back, it does indeed look very dodgey. Resin casts probably cost less, and are better quality, and haven't potentially come from someone making a stand for human rights.

Xenobond

Now you can get your skulls from places besides India. I smell competition in the bone market. -_*

Resin casts also didn't used to be alive. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

My gag reflex for death and decay is very shallow.

(decent reference though, I don't think I ever seen a male/female skull comparison in front and side views before. Leeching for the archives!)
