"Someone stole me penis!"

At least that's what's going on in Africa...
Quote:
KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.

Rumours of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.

Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.

"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," Kinshasa's police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.

Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.

"I'm tempted to say it's one huge joke," Oleko said.

"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'," he said.

Some Kinshasa residents accuse a separatist sect from nearby Bas-Congo province of being behind the witchcraft in revenge for a recent government crackdown on its members.

"It's real. Just yesterday here, there was a man who was a victim. We saw. What was left was tiny," said 29-year-old Alain Kalala, who sells phone credits near a Kinshasa police station.

Re: "Someone stole me penis!"

Two dudes alone in a back-house room,
Hornier than hell, with boners as proof,
One whipped it out as soon as he was able
Reached under the table,
Felt something like the handle of a broom,
Under the table,
Boom, boom, BOOM,
With a jack and a wank their gayness ensued
The door flew open with a crash and a boom.
THEN they had religion, THEN they had a vision.
SORCERY must have caused this revel in derision!
Then I saw the Congo, creeping through the black,
Gaying up the jungle with a golden track

I'm guessing that being a homosexual in Congo is much more hazardous to your health than getting busted with some wizard's hand on your crank.

Apologies to Vachel Lindsay.

Re: "Someone stole me penis!"

12 people were beaten to death? And some people wonder why many African countries aren't coming along quite like they should compared to the rest of the developing world. What a bizarre mentality many of them have over there. I can't even begin to understand it, so I guess I can't judge too much. Different cultures. Different mindsets. Strange (and barbaric) people indeed.

Geez, I guess any married man traveling over there better take off their gold rings, lest you be accused a sorcerer and beaten to death.
