Lynchings in Congo as penis theft panic hits capital

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.

"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.

They would have to do a lot of shrinking to get mine to "Tiny" status...they better have a lot of black magic

Probably just in the pool is all.

I predict this thread will magically disappear.

I guess it's not quite the twenty-first century everywhere, yet.

One has to wonder about the human race when one hand we have produced the likes of Einstein, Newton, Beethoven, and Van Gogh, while at the same time we have incidents such as this and the baby-raping in South Africa as a cure for AIDS.

Maybe they should not be telling women they pack so much meat when they don't, and stop blaming wizards for their penises "Mgically" shrinking when they fail to seal the deal.

Since this topic is prone to quickly becoming irrelevant with 'little' 1-liner immature comments, I would suggest posting carefully since this story is in the Breaking Alternative News forum. Please try to avoid 'small-minded' posts.

Gore will just claim it was "Global Cooling"

OH MY GOSH. So this is the latest round of "excuses".

"Er, it was that black magic voodoo doll...I swear!!!".

hahahahhahahaha


But seriously, so I am allowed to respond here LOL
Can you, as a civilized person even imagine living in an environment in this day and age where this goes on?

I mean, we can see people on video conference in this day and age, and these people are so behind the times, they are doing black magic to try and shrink a man's pride and joy

The lack of male potency is probably the most common source of allegations of sorcery --and recognized as "real"-- in 90% of the countries of the world. In Arabia you can get women executed just putting forward the allegartion.

In Thailand, if you can pay the police, you can get people --it's a both gender issue-- expelled from society. I know some may think it is a modern country. It's only in economics it can be claimed so, in education cerntainly not. Though it's generally a literate country with 80% schooling there is none. There is brainwash based on corrupted Buddhist teachings, and that has nothing to do with education. I live in Thailand and cases like the refered are everyday cases here.

There is a reason no Einstein or Newton is to come out of Africa or Asia, and that is superstition. Which basicly is nothing but ignorance.

There's always BTS Chit Chat for fun and games.

i agree with many sentiments echoed here, The majority of the poorer countries are behind the times , its a 'state of mind' and they are not ready to be at the level of civilization that the most devolped countries have acheived at this moment in time.

But we keep equiping them with modern tech and ideas that they are just not ready for yet.. they will be at some point but not yet... then we wonder why things go wrong.

Oh and as a sub note i tried the 'voodoo' excuse on the wife last night . it does not work , Greeneyedleo is right!!! lol joke!

Like I've said before. " I will never be able to see and hear it all in my life time but I sure will laugh my butt off along the way. And for mybigunit, your statement about the motion of the ocean may be true but it will take along time to get to England in a row boat. On a serious note, it really goes to show how we the lucky ones have come along way while others have been completely ignored. And just to make us feel better we do a telethon or Idol gives back to make up for it. It's feed the children or adopt a child. Why can't we just adopt a nation and catch it up to speed? I know why, but that's another story. I'm just glad that during those football and basketball showers in high school I came out feeling pretty good about myself. How can you shrink a penis besides waking up after a big drunk and seeing something you thought was hot the night before? It's sounds like a jealously and confidence factor in this story and the only way to get rid of the bid daddy's is to call them thief's or black magic witch doctors. Someday I hope they find out that we are not created equal in that sense.
