Invasion Of The What Snatchers?
Apparently, men in Congo are very worried that someone may be out to steal their penis. No, we are not making this up.
KINSHASA (Reuters) - 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.
Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.
Police also arrested 14 of the alleged victims before they could lynch the purported penis purloiners. From here on, we will collectively refer to all of the alleged victims of the organ snatching as "Ken".

I hope this doesn’t delay anybody’s departure for their UN delegation or their visiting professorships.

If these countries in question have any tourism whatsoever, I guess only women will be visiting!
