Invasion of the Penis Snatchers: Penis Snatching on the Rise -- Africa’s Genital-Stealing Crime Wave

[koeniginator]

[quote]Elaborate greetings are the norm, I’ve found, when one enters a Central African village. So it was a surprise when I noticed that many people weren’t shaking hands the morning I arrived in Tiringoulou, a town of about 2,000 people in one of the remotest corners of the Central African Republic, in March 2010. I soon found out the reason: the day before, a traveler passing through town on a Sudanese merchant truck had, with a simple handshake, removed two men’s penises.

As best I could reconstruct from witness accounts, the stranger had stopped to purchase a cup of tea at the market. After handing over his money, he clasped the vendor’s hand. The tea seller felt an electric tingling course through his body and immediately sensed that his penis had shrunk to a size smaller than that of a baby’s. His yells quickly drew a crowd. Somehow in the fray a second man fell victim as well.[/quote]

I'm wondering how he could pull that off so quickly.

That electric feeling he felt was actually just a cold wind

"The tea seller felt an electric tingling course through his body and immediately sensed that his penis had shrunk to a size smaller than that of a baby’s."

That sounds like absolute bullshit.

I dunno what to say about this, it's just silly. :v:

This doesn't sound like a bullshit convenient excuse for having a small penis at all.

Also with this quote from the article, what the hell?

[quote]In Africa today, scholars who study penis snatching understand it mainly as an urban phenomenon—an extreme expression of the anxieties that pervade a city when villagers become urbanites en masse, living among throngs of unfamiliar people.[/quote]

I'm stressed from living in a big city full of strangers, better steal some dicks? This happened in a small village though, did someone decide to expand their market?
