From Phys.org (AFP):

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has launched an investigation into a video filmed at night on its Geneva campus depicting a mock ritual human sacrifice, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The bizarre video which has circulated online for days shows several individuals in black cloaks gathering in a main square at Europe's top physics lab, in what appears to be a re-enactment of an occult ceremony.

The video includes the staged "stabbing" of a woman.

[...] "CERN does not condone this type of spoof, which can give rise to misunderstandings about the scientific nature of our work,"

Publish or perish ... it seems like some may take things too far.

Also at The Guardian.

    Maybe they are referring to the ritual jewish sacrifices of humans happening daily and are bringing attention to it; or the jewish problem in general looking at the current state of the world.

    I hear the Jews have brainwashed thousands of atheists into training as suicide bombers. They have released a wave of mayhem over the Middle East, but the mainstream media, backed by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, the green Lizard Men and the BBC have conspired to cover it up. And the Nazi Flying Saucers from under the South Pole using technology from the Greys from Zeta Reticuli.

      And you're half right, which is the great thing about people who try to mock conspiracy theorists. Only thing is everyone knows which half is right.

    "...we can no longer bring Sacrifices because the Torah forbids us to bring any Sacrifices outside of the Holy Temple. Since we have no Holy Temple, and it is impossible for us to rebuild it at this time, we keep praying to Hashem that we should be able to rebuild it soon in peace, and once again be able to bring the Praise and Thanksgiving Sacrifices once again."
