Suspected Penis Snatcher Beaten to Death
Fri October 10, 2003 10:53 AM ET
BANJUL (Reuters) - A 28-year-old man accused of stealing a man's penis through sorcery was beaten to death in the West African country of Gambia on Thursday, police said.
A police spokesman told Reuters that Baba Jallow was killed by about 10 people in the town of Serekunda, nine miles from the capital Banjul.

Reports of penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, with purported victims claiming that alleged sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear in order to extort cash in the promise of a cure.

The police spokesman said many men in Serekunda were now afraid to shake hands, and he urged people not to believe reports of "vanishing" genitals. Belief in sorcery is widespread in West Africa.

Seven alleged penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs in Ghana in 1997.

Its worth checking out if you find uncontrolable pooing funny, although that was what most likely led to its demise.

Should be easy to prove whether they disappeared or not...

Well this is ACTUAL news, its from reuters, why delete it?

There was another thread on it, althought as Snotty pointed out it was locked.

Probably the use of the word 'Penis' in the thread title. While you can get away with things like that in threads (and in tinyp3nis's case, username), putting things like that in a thread title isn't usually well-recieved by the mods

What's wrong with the word "penis"? It's the proper term for a ****.

[mrmitchell]

I don't know what's wrong with it. But people don't like it.

You could say "sex" is an acceptable term for "fvck" but you'd get arrested yelling either one loudly in a public place.

So that's what happened to it?

No you wouldn't.

You'd get strange looks at least.
