The Naples newspaper Il Mattino published a transcript of an alleged email exchange between a prospective client and the Russian vendors.

'Promise me you're not ripping me off,' says the Italian.

'Relax, I can assure you this one really dies,' the Russian responds.

'The last time I paid and I didn't get what I wanted.'

'What do you want?'

'To see them die.'

Criminals tape themselves committing crimes, so that when police catch them, they have furnished evidence against themselves!

With all the digital cameras around, why wouldn't someone tape themselves killing someone?

People never think that they will get caught--witness the fact that they always try to out-drive the cops, and they always get caught. Criminals have high self-esteem, they think they can do anything.:( :mp5:

wow, what a bunch of unpleasant posts. Especially all the oversized, bold print. Come on now, we're all capable of composing ourselves like adults here. That sort of outburst is not something that would be tolerated in polite company, and it shouldn't have to be tolerated on a forum either. Get a hold of yourself. If you find something appalling, say "That's appalling." We don't need to know that you hope these people are dipped in honey and rolled in maggots or whatever.

Personally, i don't have much of a problem with snuff films in general, since most victims present themselves willingly, on the condition of their families being compensated. The case of children is more delicate, naturally. Especially in these cases where they are allegedly falsely solicited. Even so, i don't think their actions warrant the sort of lawless mob reaction that's being splashed all over here; let them be given a fair trial and sentenced under the statutes of the Geneva Convention. What's so wrong with letting the agreed upon procedures take their course?

As far as I remember reading, none of the snuff films are actually real.

To date, no example of a film of an actual murder that was created for commercial entertainment and distribution purposes has ever surfaced, leading to a common theory that they do not exist.

I think if dogs had the capability to commit genocide, they most likely would. As it stands, i don't even think you can morally compare the two.

The poster could have written it before they cited it, for all you know. Still, it does bring up the interesting premise that, if all snuff films are faked, then who is the less moral, the crew that fakes them, or the people who buy them thinking they're genuine?

Snopes (http://www.snopes2.com/horrors/madmen/snuff.htm) to the rescue...
Claim: Films are routinely made for distribution in which participants are murdered on camera.

Status: False.

Origins: All the fretting about it aside, not so much as one snuff film has been found. Time and again, what is originally decried in the press as a film of a murder turns out, upon further investigation, to be a fake. Police on three continents routinely investigate films brought to them, and so far this has always been their verdict. No snuff films. Some clever fakes, yes. But no real product.

This is an online forum. Webster's Dictionary defines a Forum as: "1 a : the marketplace or public place of an ancient Roman city forming the center of judicial and public business b : a public meeting place for open discussion c : a medium (as a newspaper) of open discussion or expression of ideas
2 : a judicial body or assembly : COURT
3 a : a public meeting or lecture involving audience discussion b : a program (as on radio or television) involving discussion of a problem usually by several authorities."

In this case, definitions 1b and 1c are the relevant ones. More specifically, this is a discussion where it seems we're well on our way to spreading the news that snuff films don't exist.

I think it can still be taken as a valid source, they saw no evidence of snuff films existing, and nobody had ever heard of, or seen, a real one. And they pointed out the collections of people they were talking to, and that no police force had ever found one.

The wording of the article that was cited is, just in terms of the working syntax of logic, if you'll forgive the first analogy that came to mind; the equivalent of saying "We studied numerous horses, zebras and several tarpans, and found no evidence that any of them was a verifiable unicorn."

Okay, so, honestly - you're saying all the videos he had were faked? I find that hard to believe. Why not just kill the kids? They're gonna get away and tell people if you don't kill them, and you might as well kill them on camera if that's what you're selling in the first place.

It makes no sense.

If someone went and took up that million dollars that Al guy is giving up for proof of snuff films, they'd be charged for making and/or abedding a fucking killer! You have to assume they're smarter than that.

People die every second. Why's it so hard to believe a death or two would be filmed, and sold as such? There are websites for torture, so there's obviously an interest. If someone is interested in torture, they'd most likely be interested in death because it's just one step further.

The prurience of human nature being what it is, it's not unreasonable to assume if the films existed, there would be those willing to pay to have them. This assumption lies at the heart of the belief that the distribution network is in place. However, fears that a market for such offerings exists are unfounded; even if the market did exist, the product to satisfy it is not there. Hence, there's no market.

That's like saying there's no such thing as a network of child porn because "the product to satisfy it is not there" - it is, because children are abused.

It's insanity to believe there's absolutely no such thing, especially when a case of it has been found in the article in the OP! How dense and cynical do you have to be to not see the truth that a section of humanity is an extreme of cruel to where most would rather not have it exist at all?

The wording of the article that was cited is, just in terms of the working syntax of logic, if you'll forgive the first analogy that came to mind; the equivalent of saying "We studied numerous horses, zebras and several tarpans, and found no evidence that any of them was a verifiable unicorn."

To be honest, that's a pretty poor analogy :p

Okay, forget the analogy then. Let's just paraphrase: "We studied numerous things that were not the thing we were looking for, and did not find any evidence of what we were looking for."

I prefer the more accurate "we looked at a lot of things that could have been it, looked in a lot of places where it would have been, asked alot of people who would have known, and it turns out it doesn't exist."

i'd prefer if that's what the article had said as well; then it wouldn't be misleading to use it as evidence ;)

Some ramen would be nice, and an acceptance that there are videos of death being sold to people.

If we don't accept it to exist we can never solve the problem.

Well, I've already been accepting it. Or, at least, I haven't been denying it.

Most of my posts have been about what we should do to the perpetrators.

Anyways, here's 15 cents for the ramen. Enjoy.

We ignore it because there is no proof that it is real. We have an article from the Guardian, which has a tendancy to go for the extream without checking up again. Said article is also 6 years old with no follow up... if this was really the case, don't you think it would have been waved in the air and screamed from the highest mountains by the normal guardians of morality and decentcy?

Again, to date, no real snuff films have been found.Does that mean they don't exist somewhere in the dark underbelly of the world? No, they could. But so too could the invisable dragon in your house, but since I can't find it I am inclined to disbelieve that as well.

Uh, which media tells me what? And, anyway, if you think murder is worse than rape... well, you obviously don't know much about the psychological effects of rape. If you're murdered, it's just OVER. Rape fucks you up for a long time.

And drug use isn't a social ill, drug abuse is.
People recover from rape, i have yet to see anyone (excpet jesus, obviously:rolleyes: ) recover from murder. I have to say i would rather be raped than murdered.

The media thing.. they-as in all media, especially the sun and other tabloids- have created this fixation with paedophiles which im pretty sure wasn't quite as prevalent 10 years ago.

Wait wait wait... You saw the Resurrection? What the hell are you doing here, get to the Vatican, ASAP!!! :rolleyes:

If you'd rather be raped than murdered... well, then you must have a pretty good life or something. Personally I think it's better to be forcefully penetrated by a bullet than a penis.

Also, I didn't get my hatred of pedophiles from tabloids, I got it from my scruples.

Internestingly, a Google search turns up the orginal article on the Observer (sorry, I had the wrong name) and a whole bunch of forums dedicated to pointing out that the perps were/are Jewish. There is nothing else in the main stream media about this and no follow ups regarding the outcome of the investigations.

My invisible dragon can kick your invisible dragon's ass.

Like I said, it only makes sense for there to be snuff films - there's a market for it. Certain people are predisposed to enjoy seeing someone tortured or murdered. You can't just look at someone and go "Shit, that guy's obviously watched a snuff movie or two for kicks" because like the article said, they're fathers and husbands and businessmen, along with the creeps we'd normally expect.

There's a market for child porn, so there's child porn. There's a market for drugs, so there's drugs. There's a market for snuff films - there's no snuff films? I'll say it again, it doesn't make sense.

To be honest, thats a bit silly. Being able to continue and try to recover or just end your life.. out of the two, i'd choose living. Interesting to see you assume a male will be doing the rapery.

I don't think people would be as aware and constantly moaning about paedophiles if it weren't for the constant stories in the press showing how 'your children are at risk'.

Can you show said market? Can you show it exists in great enough numbers to actually take the chance of delberately making said films (again, idiots who put their crimes to video usually ain't too bright, salesmen can't be dumb to make money).

Finally, SHOW ME one (not literally). For all that we have heard of them, we still have not had a single authentic one actually come to light. If it was really out there, if there was as big a market as you claim, surely it would have been found an authenticated by now. We have found kiddy porn (sadly), but never have we found an authentic snuff film.

So if they're there, where the hell are they and why haven't they been found?
