  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

Bullet Ants + Glove + Hand = Manhood

submitted by K0MMIE

1 decade 6 years 11 months 1 week ago

CRACKED.com: Are you the sort of person who likes to think of yourself as tough? A "badass," perhaps? "Hard," as they say?

Some of the indigenous peoples of the area use Bullet Ants as part of this initiation-to-manhood ceremony that they do. You know the kind we mean, with us it's like, a big party and your relatives give you money and everyone loves you and is so proud of you? Yeah with them, it's these special leaf sleeves with hundreds of bullet ants woven into them, stingers-inwards. They put them on and are immediately stung to holy fucking bejeezus by, and this is important, hundreds of Bullet Ants woven into the sleeves, stingers-inward.

Also, see http://www.videosift.com/video/Becoming-A-Man-Ants-in-glove-bad-idea ...

This makes you a man?? Seems like a grotesque ritual to me, but to each culture it's own.
Suffering through life would seem like trial enough for any man....but who am I to judge?
I'll remain a candyass thank you.
