This Is Not A Joke

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True

wenn5119977.jpg

Police in Kinshasa, Congo, have arrested 13 suspected "sorcerers" of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises, after a wave of panic arose and attempted lynchings which were triggered by the witchcraft.

For reals, y'all!

Reuters is reporting it!

Reports of snatching penises is not uncommon in West Africa, where there's still a strong belief in traditional religions and witchcraft. There are often ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts.

Some residents accuse a separatist sect from Bas-Congo of being behind the penis robberies in revenge for a recent crackdown of its members by the government.

Penis robberies!!!!!

Rumors of the penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa. Citizens were calling in to radio talk shows to seek advise. Citizens were told to beware of passengers next to them in public transportation, wearing gold rings.

Somebody's gonna snatch your cock on the metro!

There are supposedly 14 victims so far who claim that the sorcerers touched them, and their penises shrunk or disappeared! They claim it is an attempt to extort cash in return for a cure.

Uhm, right.

Local police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, said in a recent interview, "You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We've had a number of attempted lynchings. You see them covered in marks after being beaten."

Oleko continued, "I'm tempted to say it's one huge joke, but when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent. To that I tell them, 'How do you know if you haven't gone home and tried it'."

Apparently, something similar happed over 10 years ago in Ghana, when 12 suspected penis robbers were beaten to death by angry mobs.

But residents are still claiming it's real. Alain Kalala, a local citizen, said "It's real. Just yesterday here, there was a man who was a victim. We saw. What was left was tiny."

Unless it was tiny to begin with?

    And people wonder why nobody cares about these 3rd world shytholes. What a bunch of effing retards. Witches? Sorcerers? Why is it that some cultures are stuck in a 7th century mentality and we are forced to provide aid to a population that can provide nothing in return? These people that think mutilating a womens genitals, or raping babies to cure their butt flu, or going on machette attacks. Kill them all and lets start over. They are too stupid to occupy space and they will never change.

    And you put the President of the United States up there for that article? That is beyond disrespectful- even if you don't care for your president, he is STILL the President. Voted in. That isn't even witty and it is beneath you, Perez. Didn't you take enough world history and government at NYU to at least come away with respect for what the job takes? Why didn't you put a picture of Mr Treason- Jimmy Carter- up there? Like Gore, even his own state didn't vote for him.

    As an American citizen living in Ghana, married to Ghanaian, I can tell you that nothing of the sort has happened in the time I've lived here. Also, my husband, 29 years, has never heard of such a thing. If it is happening, it's happening in the bush or north where many people of the last generation didn't attend grade school. (We live in the capitol city, Accra.) You can blame this on a lack of education. I know this story was just a "bizarre but true" posting but I can't stand to see another nation's rich cultural history exploited for a laugh. And, by the way, I am not a geography student but I don't consider the Congo to be in West Africa.

  66. lynda says – reply to this
    66

    perez…why do you post things like this? this is what gives africa a reputation as a backwards place. MOST OF AFRICA IS NOT LIKE THIS. you make it seem like this is common because it also happened 10 YEARS AGO in ghana. let me tell you that i lived in ghana for a while and every single ghanaian i know is either christian or muslim.

    it is horrible the way that western media portrays africa. they have universities, and cars, and roads, and night clubs, and church. yes there is poverty there, but there is so much more. i felt much safer (even as a white girl) in ghana than i have in the US. most of the people i met there were very peaceful and friendly. there are weird things that happen here too (like the cult in TX where 14 year old girls are forced to have sex with 50 year old men). so don't go perpetuating this stereotype of africa. it is the largest continent on earth and just because there are a few weirdos it does not mean that everyone there is like that.

    As allegedly "natural" male inhancement pill sales skyrocket in West Africa…

    Okay number one, it was probably small to begin with, they probably found out most black guys are supposed to have big dicks, came after the guys who did and said "hey you bastard you stole my willie!!!"… lynchings proceeded because they can't think of a more creative way to kill people… lame.

    Not like I care though, with all them scammers from West Africa… I hope they get their supposed manhood stolen… fuckers deserve it!
