Topless virgins parade in front of Swazi king to celebrate chastity and unity.
Dressed in beaded skirts, clutching machetes and mobile phones, women and girls danced and sang tribute to the king and the queen mother - also known as the Great She-Elephant - in a traditional Umhlanga Reed Dance to celebrate womanhood and virginity.
Those taking part dismissed criticism of the extravagant celebrations, which took place in one of Africa's poorest countries, ruled by the continent's last absolute monarch.

| I can't quite figure out what this whole machete thing is all about. You can look but you better not touch? If the Occupy protesters had done this they would have gotten a lot more attention. |

| Holy Cow! It's a good thing this was done in Swaziland as there aren't this many virgins left in the whole of the United States. |

| Not to be outdone, His Royal Hinnie King Mswati (the great He-Elephant?) gets into the act while sorting through the virgins looking for his ninth wife. It doesn't appear that he has missed any meals in a country racked with poverty and malnutrition. His personal worth is estimated at $200 million. About the same ratio of haves to have-nots as soon to be here in the U.S. |

| Proof that if you've seen one tit, you've seen them all. |
honestly? don't get me started...
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean.
DeleteIt's kind of like the Mummer's Parade, only in warm weather with half naked black women.
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize the Mummers ran around naked these days. Dang, that's one I'll have to catch.
DeleteIt's good to be the king.
ReplyDeleteBeing king has its rewards, indeed.
DeleteClutching machetes and ... mobile phones??? Really? Talk about a blending of old and new. I think I know why the king isn't all that impressed. With a name like Hinny, I'm guessing he's a heinie man.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm... my bad. Misspelled hienie
DeleteI mean... oh well, you know

ReplyDeleteNow now, this is no time for class warfare. The King's $200 million fortune should be an inspiration to all the lazy parasites in that country. Instead of lying around wallowing in their poverty, they could pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make something of themselves, just like their King did.
Damn, couldn't have said it better myself.

ReplyDeleteHate to say it but the Occupy types were wimps and wussies. Not sure what they expected, but they folded up like a neatly creased cheap suit when things started to got rough.

Careful, the same thing could be said about the Superbowl, the World Series, NASCAR races, monster truck rallies, and political conventions.
I believe the same thing is being said about those things. At least in my crowd.
Delete...clutching machetes and mobile phones... Mobile phones? Were the women posting to Facebook?
