Well, in cannibalism you are literally making someone else a part of you.
Oddly enough, I'd say the opposite is what's going on. In cannibalism, the body is just meat without personality--the cannibal overwrites their meal's desire with their own--which is pretty much as far from intimate as you can get.

Solution to the Case of the Overhyped Elevator Operator
Encyclopedia knew Rainbow Dash, not Rarity, had stolen Anonus's pizza. Dash claimed to have only seen the closed pizza box sitting on the table when she walked past the information booth at Heapercon, but she knew that the only topping was cheese.
When Anonus left to go make out with Central Avenue, Rainbow Dash swooped in and took the entire pizza for herself. Greedy bastard. Then she staged an elaborate plot to plant unicorn DNA at the scene of the crime in order to frame Rarity.
When Encyclopedia called Rainbow out on her lie, she confessed. But she still don't buy Anonus another cheese pizza, 'cause fuck that guy.
Bzzt, wrong, most tribes that engage in cannibal do it for spiritual reasons
I don't really consider that reasoning any more justifiable on a social scale than an individual. Saying the reason you're doing it is spiritual doesn't change the fact that you're murdering someone (and moreover, substituting the will that used to give meaning to that body with your own and claiming it's the same, if that's not too esoteric a way to put it).
Now in cases where the victim consents...I believe it still comes out to the same thing, that the agreement is ultimately a coerced one, even if it's a coercion that begins early, goes on for a long time and isn't necessarily carried out by a single person. I don't think just saying "it's murder" is a very useful way to talk about it in that case--it is, but putting it like that isn't going to explain or fix anything.
I discovered the Nostalgia Critic in 2009 or so, and kind of lost interest once I started watching everything else Doug and company host. These days I mainly follow Todd, but I also still check in on the Snob and Linkara when I remember to.
Remember the German cannibal case? Apparently the first guy he tried decided at the last minute that he didn't want to be eaten after all, so instead they watched Ocean's Eleven together.

The Victim is dead before they decide on eating them, ie they haven't murdered the victim to eat but have a corpse that needs disposing of. After all, whats life? just a way of keeping meat fresh

Apparently when Google was running their Street View cameras in the Columbus area in July 2009, they were using both the older, low-resolution cameras and the newer, sharper cameras.
...It's weird. These days I kinda take Google Street View for granted but that stuff didn't really even exist until 4 or 5 years ago.

If you say so. The point is you can't really call it intimate, which is what we were talking about.

Also I just noticed that intersection has a sign that says "YIELD TO BLIND IN CROSSWALK". That strikes me as a bit redundant, given that you're supposed to yield to EVERYONE in a crosswalk.

...How would that policepony even use that baton? Unicorn magic?
I know it's supposed to bring Hannibal Lector to mind, but my first thought was the Joker being taken into Arkham at the beginning of Batman Arkham Asylum.
Because of all that stuff I just said. Basically, I don't think you can really be intimate with an inanimate object. Even though the words have a bunch of letters in common.

Its supposed to be a way of gaining the deceased attributes though so I'd say thats intimate
