Pinellas Park, FL (WFN) -- Chew on this: A contest to find a person willing to chew human flesh on stage is stuffed with applicants.

The industrial rock group Hell On Earth -- which was foiled in its attempts to stage a suicide in concert last October -- is currently offering wannabe cannibals a chance to eat human flesh via an essay contest.

Contestants must explain in 50 words or less why they should be chosen to chow down on a real-life corporate executive known only as "Mr. Jerry," who is donating small pieces of his flesh for the event.

Hell On Earth leader Billy Tourtelot says the person with the best letter will be invited to eat the meat live on stage March 6 at a concert in Pinellas Park, Florida.

So far, Tourtelot is getting swamped with applications, which suggests there's a large number of people willing to chew the fat.

It may sound stomach-churning but Tourtelot compares "consensual cannibalism" to "...eating a wafer and claiming it's the body of Christ."
