  • For the people who call this stupid and ionic this is their way of life, you wearing something or eating something to them would be stupid

  • It's 2012, and there's still so much idiocy in the world. Just plain idiocy. Good information is out there, in plain sight, but they choose to believe ridiculous bullshit.

  • How the freak tongue piercing is gonna harvest the crops? O.o

  • Re-upload. Lame Natgeo

  • 3 days no eat.. not much blood... lol~

  • so hes basically getting a free tounge piercing then? SWEET DEAL BRO!

  • This all seems so primitive...

  • @ichbineincoolcat

    The practices of pretty much every religion can seem primitive when taken out of context. It's more about symbolism than anything else.

  • Tongue boring: an unusual tradition practiced by teenagers around the world.

  • So in this village you can't eat for 3 days before they pierce your tongue & if your tongue doesn't bleed then you've been chosen by the gods? Well, tan my fur, I've been chosen by the gods.

  • ولله في خلقه شؤؤن عادات عجيبة وغريبة تجدها في كل مكان في العالم

  • Badass!

  • lol thats funny but circumcision is more of a cleanliness thing tho and we all know that they dirty ass mfukkas.

  • wow

  • what a joke! btw chreshna is such a gay name

  • Free tongue piercing, Big deal. 100's of people half his age get their tongues pierced everyday lmao

  • his tongue really was boring

  • Ive seen worst tongue piercings then this!

  • Let me just say that there's no reason for anyone to look down on a country solely because of their religion. I'm Nepali myself but I grew up in California, USA. I don't follow the traditions in this video. I'm not even Hindu, I'm from a Buddhist family. None of this applies to my culture. All I'm saying is that everyone should be respectful of each other and not make wise ass comments like "bring prosperity to the village... with SCIENCE".

  • Namaste. I <3 Nepal

    Thank you National Geographic for educating all of us about Nepal

  • nepalese groundhog's day basically.

  • a spike in my tongue and no blood = prosperity... makes sense to me.

  • I'm all for freedom of religion and I respect other peoples cultures, but they could at least sterilize the needle. Don't they ever worry about infection afterwards?

  • Comment removed

  • silly silly world we live in

  • its just a tonge piercing gezzz

  • @3mora3mora3mora You might be the most ignorant person I've ever come across on YouTube.

  • @3mora3mora3mora Then how will people respect YOUR culture? Dumbass. Shoot yourself and save the world a favor.

  • @youdevil6 I don't give a fuck about my culture and your culture. If any culture has retarded shit, I totally disrespect that culture.

  • @3mora3mora3mora I don't have a "culture." And I find it hilarious and pretty pathetic that you "don't give a fuck" about YOUR OWN culture. That's just sad, man. I wonder what you look like and what kind of person you are. Only you know that. I can only imagine. Disgusting human being. Bye, bye now.

  • @youdevil6 I'm an Electrical Engineer, work at one of the best electronics company in the world. I'm product engineer for part go in space. I like to make sense of everything I do, I'm not going to do something retarded because my stupid ancestors did it. We have to become HUMAN and civilize. This culture and your culture are disgustingly stupid

  • @3mora3mora3mora Again. I DON'T have a culture and I agree with what you say about uniting as humans and civilizing. I don't see why your such an asshole though. You are ignorant about cultures though.

  • I'm atheist.

  • @vwlolfordlol me too

  • It's possible to find value in the experience itself yes.. for those who wants to find value in it. Like I said, I respect them for that and I think the rest of the rituals in this festival er pretty fun to experience.. I just dont see the use of a hole in your tongue. ;)

  • 82 ppl (sheeps?) clicked on the thumps up button but no one has giving me an answer yet. How many cultures do you know who doesn't use firework to celebrate a new year?

    It was a serious question...

  • want to tell me that india is from the 10 strongest countries,LOL XD. come kick my ass

  • hahaha the only American there can easily be spotted in the crowd 0:35

  • it looks painful *0* in our culture we numb the tongue before we pierce it... btw the needle is clean... but... I'm scared koz that man would get infected 0_0

  • @BellaSilvery huuh

  • ugh why are so many people so shocked as if there was no tongue piercing in our culture?!

  • @grandexandi I am not shocked. I just think its a waste of time to pierce the tongue and not put a piercing in it. But its a part of the Bisket Jatra Festival, a part of their religion ..so I have to respect that.

  • @MiyuHercules the ritual is not a waste of time. while you can find an action worthwhile for its visual outcome, like piercing your tongue only to enjoy the look of it, it's also possible to find the value of a ritual in the experience itself, in the pleasure, comfort, feeling of accomplishment or whatever it brings to you. each new year, that guy probably grows more as a person than any of us who had our tongues pierced for the fashion of it did when we did it

  • So why'd he pierce his tongue again? oh that's right so he can eat again :) makes perfect sense! Because everyone pierces their tongue so they can wait 3 days to eat right?!

  • I hope that dude gets a nasty infestion in his tongue...

  • omg looks painful D:

  • This video is literally 'boring'

  • So who else stuck their tongue out while watching this?

  • They should have done this on Jackass when they went to India!!!

  • Honestly man, i'm not trying to be ignorant or racist; but based on what i've seen India looks like such a filthy country...

  • @TheRoyalFreshness69 Yeah, not at all like American cities, right? Guess you've never been to one.

  • @culwin C'mon man. I'm being realistic. They actually have sanitation laws and regulations in America. Just look at the Ganges river. They bathe, shit, shower, and swim, and drink from that polluted/contaminated river; which in turn spreads malicious diseases. I'm not hating, i'm simply observing...

  • @TheRoyalFreshness69 Maybe you should comment on a video about India then?

  • @culwin kk i'll keep that in my next time ;)

  • Spot the white guy 0:36

  • @hungry4danish

    LMAO that wasnt too difficult.

    his Giant face grimacing in the middle of the crowd.

  • @hungry4danish lmfao

  • @hungry4danish biggest man in the crowd lol

  • Nepal nice quiet Nepal lol :)

  • ..."After not eating for three days, then having a spike driven through his tongue, he is now free to head home and eat crappy spicy food."

  • not any different than christianity.

  • @feuchster Actually... it is a lot different than Christianity.

  • @jalapeno0007 rituals, praying to god(s), believing fairy tales, celebrating funny stories.

    Yup, it's all there.

  • How is the pierce-ee chosen?

  • One of the most unusal rituals is white guys wanking on chatrollute all the time.

  • ouchh

  • What if his wife wants to spend time with him? Can they kiss like man & wife supposed too?

  • @rickames No they hav a bunch of rituals for that too. ..Guess whats pierced before having intercourse :P

  • bunch of pagans

  • Comment removed

  • holy shit, this reminds me of christianity >.<

  • Happy New Year Krishnah Shondrah! lol

  • bring prosperity to the village...with SCIENCE

    

  • @zcuzcu You are an idiot. You are probably 13-16, and think you know it all. These people don't want your almighty science. They want to feel safe and protected, and to preserve their culture from the outside world. People like you make that impossible. You are the reason that people hate Americans. Globalization is a bitch, and so are you.

  • @khonsmosis Nicely put. 

  • @khonsmosis

    oh im sorry, I don't expect someone from the village to be reading anything off youtube. To be honest, I give the absolutely no f**k to what other people believe and I find myself the last responsible for that, people burn incense sticks and worship the weirdest 'things' around me in my city and what do I do? Extinguish them? No. If these people find comfort and peace in conforming such tradition, what could be better? This is the internet, not a UN forum, al liz well my friend...

  • Comment removed

  • Silly humans :3

  • oh god..... i think ive reached the end of youtube.

  • eat icecream or place ice on tip of tongue will assure blood vessels will be closed.

  • If a tongue of a random guy won't bleed, the village will have good luck for the next year. Seems legit !

  • At least they don't cut off their children's foreskin.

  • @Surells im glad i dont have an anteater. and its cleaner.

  • this is how you get laid i =n india

  • This was reuploaded?

  • i peirced my tongue and it didnt bleed

    wheres my money?

  • @EvatheDiva00 Same here ayee!

  • Most peoples beliefs are stupid and ignorant. Brain washed gullible people.

  • somebody call nine one one :-)

  • That seems like a really small sacrifice for an entire village if you actually believe it.

    You would think people would be lined up for the opportunity, perhaps they do.

  • well my tongue is gauged. take THAT, nepal.

  • now the boring tongue is exciting

  • @nonamerus I see what you did there. ;)

  • That's it.. I'm afraid of Nepal and it's people

  • THERE STUPID, DOING SOMTHING THAT HURTS FOR A GOD THAT ISN'T REAL!!!

  • @BueatyfulButterfly i am a athiest as well but dont force your religion on others

    (sounds all too familiar dose'nt it)

  • @blackysboy I'm Not An Atheist, But I Don't Beleve In This Because It Stupid And I Know The True Way Of Life... Have Fun Not Going To Heaven And Burning In Hell Forever... If You Wanna Be Saved How Ever, You Can Always Talk To Me! :)

  • @BueatyfulButterfly If like me you don't believe at least don't insult the culture. It's rude.

  • @BueatyfulButterfly You know you don´t havet o descriminate people, black asian nazi or other, we are all human beings and I think it would be good for you to not be such a biggoat.

    Don´t hate people because of their gender or race or color. I don´t hate niggers, I don´t care if their all stupid when they are bourne, they have a right to live as long as they dont critizice me.

    And if you have anything against this statement you are a socialist!!

  • @RagdollRalph your logic is impeccable. ..no, really... good job.

  • @IgnoranceAlliance Always a plesure to spread the wizzdom of the allmighty lord to the less informed.

    And being endorsed by the Alliance is a great honor, as long as ur not playin possum on me!

  • @RagdollRalph "bourne" Good job, that is all.

  • @BueatyfulButterfly You are definitly NOT beautiful.. Who are you to judge like that

  • lol obviously your not going to see blood when you pierce the tongue and leave the rod in but if you take it out it's going to start bleeding..

  • @Bandtx Their fucking retards. This is the world we live in.

  • Then I'm a god as well. I had my tongue pierced and I didn't bleed! BOW TO ME! LOL!!

    - No, but seriously; I don't think that these people are crazy. It's just culture, you guys. I just think is a stupid tradition, so what if he doesn't bleed through his tongue; knife his thigh or arm to see if the motherfudger bleeds.

  • Why dont they have firework like the rest of the world..? Brrraahh

  • @MiyuHercules That's what makes the world so unique. Different traditions for different places. 8)

  • @diablaxcrista And i respect them for that. ;)

  • @MiyuHercules Because the sandniggus are upset.

  • @Marbas777 hahah!! Haven't thought about that yet, but damn son.. thats a good point!!
