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?

    Hello guys, I am from Kinshasa, Congo is in central Africa.
    I live in NYC now, it's sad to comment that witchdraft do exits in Africa
    But to believe that someone has the power to snacth a body part that's crazy
    an you can't convience the locals of that. Their mind set is different from us , I would have believed the same thing if I was still living in Congo, I have heard crazier stories than this.

    Re: Frag The Paps – Your comment is clearly an indication of your ignorance and slighty bigotry. I'm shocked by ur comment.

    To clarify, my home country of Congo (DRC) formerly Zaire is not in W. Africa. And I want to let you know that just because we are a 3rd world country doesn't make up stupid or backwards. Like everywhere there are hardships, but with Africa, the media only shows the bad and ugly. Trust me Africa is an amazing CONTINENT. Yes witchcraft is practiced, but that's just 1 tiny aspect of culture.

    Frag The Paps I don't know where u r from, but open your eyes and your mind.

    Re: K

    I will open my mind for you to fill it with information if you can answer some questions. Such as, name something that Africa exports for world consumers. Do they build cars? Computers? What have they invented to benifit mankind? Fire and the wheel don't count. Now they are aligning themselves with the muslim movement. That just shows how stupid they are. Muslims are the most ignorant on the planet. It is the chosen faith of the illiterate and disenchanted. Don't belive me, look at all of the blacks in the US that go to jail and find Islam. Does the name Louis Farakahn mean anything to you. Who would follow these morons? Are people so stupid that they would think anything will ever grow in such a barren place? Better find another way to live. Our ancestors were smart enough to leave an populate the rest of the world. Only the retards stayed behind and tried to make a go of it there. And after thousands of years they are still there with flies in their eys and their hands out for support. Not my fault, and not my problem.

    Re: Frag The Paps
    You're really rude, and very sterotypical. You make it seem like all of Africa is starving and in such bad poverty. Which most of Africa is. Most people in Africa live on less then a dollar a day, and your giving them shit about not making computer? And practicing Witchcraft? I don't know much about Witchcraft, but i'm pretty sure it's based on a religion.
    Learn something before you open your mouth next time.

    I live in Kinshasa. People believing in sorcery are a big problem here. When it comes to shrinking cooks it funny but when they accuse children of being sorcerers and kick them out of the house or kill them because they think they use black magic to make their mom or their uncle sick it’s sooooo discussing. Most children on the street don’t live there because they are poor but for being accused of practicing black magic. The whole country is kind of retarded because this.
