Penises on Parade
 

Kanamara Festival is held every April 15th at Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine in Kawasaki Japan, this is about as wild and pagan as it gets. People of all ages participate in a parade in which everyone sports a gigantic penis, eat penis shaped candies, carve radishes into penis shapes, and dress up as their favourite cartoon character with one part of his anatomy dramatically enlarged! The whole thing is presided over by a priest, and there are arcane Shinto rituals that are carried out as well. The festival celebrates the vanquishing of a demon that lived in a woman's vagina and would bite off the penises of her lovers! According to legend, a local craftsman fashioned a steel phallus which broke the demon's teeth.

Mmmmmmmmm candy penises:p

People get tickets here if they put boobs on the snowman in their yard.......

Some countries have such neat festivals while we get something like the "Spring Pigeon Poop" festival.

I might have to think about going to this festival...might be a lot of fun.
