Crocodile Scars

[6901166]

this is perfectly understandable, in their culture, man who manage to be able to endure all this is fit for raising a family because it takes pain endurance, strong immune system, and a strong mind to be able to finish this rite, and their children will be more likely to have those traits, which is good for survival in their evnviroment. This is just a simple example of sexual selection

[mr71NFL]

ii Luv dis...Art

[mr71NFL]

Art

[GOLDENTEMPLE68]

I cudnt even watch this on my phone. No way i cud watch in person

[melannkoolz]

Thumbs up if u think the scars r beautiful.

[KnoVik22]

Thumbs up if you think LeBron James resembles this Papuans

[4EVERHPF]

Thumbs up if you had your hand on your neck while your watched this

[whoLICKEDmycandycane]

ouch...understatement of the year

[InstructorKM]

Respect.

Everthing is beter, then American narrow culture.

[Pikminlinkfan23]

@InstructorKM Right, this culture and other cultures are really great to learn about. But in america, the culture we have is narrow its dull theirs no excitement or anything like this that the tribes do.

[romanval69]

croc scars... because tats & piercing are for pussies. :)

[sprawlmessiah]

Maybe he died because of shock and loss of blood

[majahret]

dont know the name of the tribe but its in the korogo village

[meathead131]

look at 1:56

he says a your mumma

[Pukari10]

[ComaLies225]

[ryder7984]

@ComaLies225 Sepiks

[sharpie1480]

damn i felt bad for the guys that were watching...man they must have been scared shitless....just waiting to go next :(

[xsonerdylad]

i feel like puking..damn this people..luckily i dun have to do that

[DJSockman]

This is so fucking metal.

[ComaLies225]

@DJSockman fuck yeah. Love it!

[theBrick06]

true this is what some might consider a grisly ritual but who are some of you to say that it should be changed? these people are probably more ment than many of you who diss there customs...i hate to rag on people but just think about it

[antieatbulaga]

Damn,can someone in America handle that?

[ThomasTheXPUser]

Ow, Ow! Freaking OWW!!

[MELLIMA]

ouch!

[Rusvi1]

final result looks great, but fuck that...

[greyztone]

This was on BBC's South Pacific Episode 2 recently. You can still see it on the BBC iplayer website. Strangely in that programme the cutting instead shown. They say it is a "closely guarded secret." I wonder whether National Geographic slipped them some money? Despite this it's a lot more harrowing to watch. Instead of feathers and gently splashed water we see a boy's infected wounds being scrubbed with sponges as he stands under a shower. Needless to say he is screaming. Crazy stuff.

[cb1836]

i want it done it would hurt but fuck itl be cool but ill use painkillers cos im a lil wimp sometimes lol

[ISAblood]

shit that 11 year old boy got that

wat a mad cunt

[azzatheboomboy]

Yikes!

[frostikiwi]

wow. that's like a lifetime's worth woman's menstural cramps...

[Batsimarn]

we were never slaves fucker..

[Endlessx87]

@Batsimarn I agree, only in America. -__-

[xtacularx]

[LetzterWille]

Miami ink!!!

[LetzterWille]

Very nice!

Beautiful Crocs!

Neuguinea wonderful Nature!

Land of Headhunter!

[FUCKJAPAN0089]

i bet a former nazi came up with this lol... sick!!!!

[HyBriDSm0Ke]

Recognition as "initiated men"? Look at the statue at 1:09 in the background. Once you got what it got then you are definitely initiated.

[pokelin282]

DUDE TAHST BULL SHIT!!!!!!

[skarty93]

shit

[ryan0666]

i want

[FallenLovesX]

sad and pointless!

[johnt20]

agreed 100%

[calladuz]

The end result looks really cool, it's probably more painful than tattooing lol

And to the people thinking this is weird, we got machines sucking fat outta people, putting things like silicon inside their bodies and taking pills to make certain organs bigger. to most that is pretty weird as well...

[Mrgyn]

Probably more painful then tattoing, callduz?

No shit?

[calladuz]

I wouldn't know, I didn't do either... the closest I got is getting whacked on the back by a belt as a kid :P and that only left one small permanent bump...

[HyBriDSm0Ke]

Of course, didn't you see even their statue got humongous size?

[bonebaron666]

cool

[magerboy]

stupid and disgusting, some people just force themselves to believe in stupid things

[anonomouschicken]

How dare you diss someones belifes. You dont respect other people. Your the kid of person that will go to hell

[magerboy]

im just afraid

[nazial]

after they finish the cutting they should spray the entire body with salt and lime juice that would test their man hood

[ww2luv]

do they pinch ur skin and chop it off?

[brayant152h]

this is fucken stupid. these people are like the stupid mormons

[lefabuleuxetedejuin]

It's their culture. They are in a remote place and probably don't get outside contact except for meddling cameramen and interviewers. Don't be so ignorant.

[Smartass11111]

just because they believe something different than you doesn't make them morons. Their cause is good, they want to make sure the males considered "men" earn their title. it goes back to survival of the fittest, natural selection. their's nothing stupid about it.

[anava84]

That's there culture so what? They choose to do this. If you can go through this your definitely a man in my book.

[superbboys]

all those idiots should go to school. what a sad world...

[lefabuleuxetedejuin]

It's their culture. They are in a remote place and probably don't get outside contact except for meddling cameramen and interviewers. Don't be so ignorant.

[freebearride]

google the BME PAIN OLYMPICS

[VideoGamer1994]

holy crap i saw that and that was even more painfull then this

[FULLMETALALCHEMlST]

Hehe, all men should do this >:D

[ttoale]

I think I'm gonna throw up.

[666owned]

Why they dont fight a 20 feet long crocodile to show how taff they are or why they dont head shoot themself to proof what kind of strong men they are stupid tards

[lefabuleuxetedejuin]

It's their culture. They are in a remote place and probably don't get outside contact except for meddling cameramen and interviewers. Don't be so ignorant.

[ChiselM]

Be a man! Do yourself crocodile scars!

Ugh! It pains just watching them get through it.

[Sonnyboy555]

ok thats the most stupid shit i have ever seen. id rather get my ass pierced than that.

damn u call the becoming men.

shit

[skippyalex]

well my cousin peirced my ass with a stapler while i was alsleep it fucking painfull dude

[lefabuleuxetedejuin]

It's their culture. They are in a remote place and probably don't get outside contact except for meddling cameramen and interviewers. Don't be so ignorant.

[secund2nun]

beglington123 and others, shut up! it is a STUPID thing they do, their culture is garbage

People can die from that, and it even said one died recently! how retarded is that

this shows why culture is garbage

[DanielleLowe]

So they should live according to our standard? You mustn't be ignorant and spew such Euro centric crap.

[deadpisser88]

....cool

[DaveVicious]

Americans make marks on their body with tatoos and piercings, these people do it as a culture, we need to learn to respect that

[Pikminlinkfan23]

@DaveVicious I agree with you its part of their culture and i don't understand people why they critizise their culture from another place.

[TinoGraphic]

@DaveVicious Culture,.. OK. But its pretty weird and stupid.

[TribalStudios18]

@TinoGraphic they look way better than some stupid ass tattoos i see here...plus this takes more balls to accomplish

[beglington123]

skwinkle79 i agree compleatly with you people who dont respect other peoples beliefes and cultures are morons

[Emitzu]

maybe it's sick, but it's their culture! Why don't You just accept, that this is their way to live?

[BoBByKlaDDkaka]

they are sick, but one thing right about that you need to now how pain feels like, but not like this :O

[babes0098]

go get circumcised instead of this!!

[SPAMMYWHOSPAM]

one of the most retarded methods I ever seen

[hugoefoda]

chupa a minha buceta molhadinha!

[Pieismygod]

I hate people who are ruled by superstition and stupidity.

[DetKriger]

We should have that done to every emo so maybe they will turn into men!

[jasoniousrex]

True that.

[TuskarrWarrior]

ROFL

[CrackBadger52]

Mad bastards

[Invisiblekyd]

fucking crazy people

[domandmattsmagic]

that looks quite cool but also painful

[Ranz1616]

thats gonna hurt!

[rb306]

ouch as fuck!

[bonebaron666]

sukers

[kalshazzak]

Eh I'd rather just be considered a woman. Who cares.

[armageddontri7]

over here in america we dont have to seriously cut our selves to prove our man hood

we have to pay bills and leave the house to prove our man hood

[COMEONalreadytaken]

we have it so easy

[BozhiPan]

cool

[chike36]

BUT WE DO HAVE EMO KIDS

[Ovidius777]

hahaha

Nicely said!

[skwinkle79]

you are wrong in america, people cut their body and stuff it with a material called silocon, that somehow gives you a higuer status and makes you look more atractive for the oposite sex in your tribe, others tend to inject a substance in their faces called botox, this substance seems to have an afrodisiac effect too, see? we are not very diferent from them after all.

[MuzeecX]

haha. So true. And don't forget gang initiations and tatoos etc

[fabreezemaster]

Wouldnt they die of blood loss?

[sarge5000]

nah, the cuts aren't deep enough to lose a lot. the blood clots pretty quick when it's just under the skin.

[LuiBabe56982]

OWIE

i would never do that D:

urrgh this was hard to watch

ya i agree Mr.JustinX

AIDS

[kristiangoody]

VERY PAINFUL! :(( goose-bumps!!

[niggaplezlol]

this is the 21st century. they can't survive a bullet. they not feel pain but they can die in a sec.

[pirincess101]

That looks painful but later on it's like a reward to them and then they can tell their kids what it was like when he had to do it

[Shoddragon]

while it may seem barbaric, the honor in this ritual is amazing. If you can take that insane amount of pain and pass on into manhood, basically you can take on anything.

[SnipeZ850]

crazy

[dildoyurosku]

thats all bull shit look around the world nobody has to go through that shit to become a man. ridiculus!

[ughh11]

it's called culture

[hondac55]

iiijesus

an emo would be like

"OMG OUCH!!! YEEEES!!!! OH YES OUCH!!! IT HURTS SO GOOD OOOOOOUUUUUCH!!!!!!!!"

[iiiJesus]

i can only imagine what would happen to an EMO if that happened to him...or her...i can never really tell

[QbAniiTo]

wow they are true man to be able to endure so much pain the scars acutaly look pretty awesome after healing

[DonkeyFist]

I had to do the same exact ritual to graduate high school.

[ww2luv]

REALLY YOU DID WHY?

[ligail2001]

OMG OUCH!!!

[Bemis25]

Videos like this make it obvious that European colonization of Africa isn't such a bad idea--at least not for the Africans.

[nbkthegame]

what does Papua New Guinea have to do with africa???? explain please

[de4thandb00]

i would never be able to that. those guys have loyalty like no other.

[SKKSjimmy]

i bet if you wer born and raised there you would be able to. Cuz they wer probably told and taught their entire life thats wut they must live up to. After awhile thats all you live for.

[chris4lyfe23]

fuck being a man i rather not endure that pain for some croc scars

[KirkeySaurus]

tht is so ah-mazingg. they r all so brave and courageous if tht were me i would be like dead;]

[Dystophiaxx]

You guys act like they're FORCED to go through it or something. They don't have to. They just won't be considered men if they don't. ;D. It's not stupid, it's not 'dumb', it's just what they do. I'm sure if they saw our culture, they'd think we were complete fucking idiots too. Besides, look at them at the end. They're happy with them. Look at 3:45. He's basically saying they want them. They WANT them, so once again, it's hardly torture.

[DartAmps]

at 1:09 there is a dick WTF

[de4thandb00]

LMAO there is.

[Allenpark29]

I understand where they're coming from, and why they are doing this, but that's their culture, not mine.

Damn that shit is brutal, goodness that would be painful.

[davidtorres240]

3:51 I didn't realize they spoke such good English. And they wonder why they get aids.

[DarkkEntity]

Aids was created by the white man... and spread threw a polio vaccine to the people in Africa. Don't you know all diseases, global warming, nuclear weapons, and cancer due to radiation from all nuclear testing is the white mans damnation to this world?

[gorcie]

Actually guys DarkkEntity is right guys. White men spread Aids through an infected vaccine needle. Search Wikipedia.

[TribalStudios18]

EMO!

[Steff4269]

lol

[animefreak38]

why would you want to do that?

[PakyTv]

RETARDS!

I so glad I live in a normal place with normal people

[ThePrimary]

mann listen...my ass just be alil boy 4eva then...fucka that

[hiey7]

ouch?

[SmileingHappyEmo]

oh god that had to hurt. n i thought piercing my lip on my own hurt. that pain was nothing to wut these guys went through. damn they deserve to be called men.

[DenteCariato]

i agree with you.

[correa]

cool but not much i cant imagine this doin for mankind this is not right, they lived in tribe of fasion victim

[rjvthebest2000]

That's actually kinda cool. It's tougher than a tattoo, and a true sign of strength. If that ever picked up as a fashion around here I might do it myself.

[Dubi911]

wow..... I wonder who the person who made the ritual up was thinking....

[hamsterlord20]

i think he was on crack

[nadiatulhidayah90]

thX gOd im nOt oNe oF thEm!

[allencrazy15]

to those people who said dis people are freaks: well u guys dont get it. dis is their ritual, u cant do anything about it, If u were in da same tribe, ur gonna have 2 do da same thing 4 them 2 accept u. But im not saying dat they shud keep it up, im just saying that if dats wat dey wanna do, then so be it. :)

[deathdeny]

stupid freaks

[llWPGll]

man some people are can be so stupid

[KurzWebber]

Yeah, you are. what you said made NO sense xD

[llWPGll]

i didnt double check uh oh the world just stopped you fuckin goof

[jamiecarra4lyf]

fukin freaks

[cmonbugmenot]

i love how open-minded most of the comments on this video are.

these people probably view tattoos and other body modifications for cosmetic reasons as stupid, which most ppl who watched this vid wouldn't give a second thought to

[vintage1950]

you talkig about the under 20's

[linfinster]

STUPID STUPID STUPID

[o7jimmy]

Nothing but, torture!

[quag147]

Haha Emos just got owned

[mamanggalit]

exactly, lol

[xoxochaotic]

oh my god.

[baolinh111]

that is so cool, but what abou the infection

[LovelyYTRocks]

That crazy crocodile guy has the same name as me.

Not sure about the spelling.

Probably has like exclamation marks in the beginning.

[SambaDisaWinner]

Absolutely crazy!!!!!!!! was anyone else crinching during this. OUCH!!!

[ciphyl]

I definitely was.

[mystiicmaul]

wow thats crazy...

[FarhadKhyber]

what the idiot people are they, for God sak why they are doing this, it is for bidden to harm ourselves in Islam

[Bloodthr0e]

They explained why they do it. The pain has a STRONG psychological effect on them that makes them tough and prepares them for any hardships in the future.

[FarhadKhyber]

but still it is not true, this is what they believe, truely it is not the way to protect for any hardships,what an harmful idea, i am really sorry for this tribe,if i have been their chieftain i would never let them to do this.

[Bloodthr0e]

It is true. Pain can have a strong psychological effect on a person that can make them tough.

[FarhadKhyber]

If you are saying that it is true do you have any video or any reason for showing your saying correct that these idiot people did any great job, or any kind of reliable reason, only physical practicing can make a human body strong enough to protect it from hardships only strong psychological is not enough.

[Bloodthr0e]

I never said being strong-psychological was enough. Neither did the people in this video. It looks like you're arguing against a position that no one has made.

[FarhadKhyber]

no i am not arguing, just i want to show that what they accomplishing is wrong and it is against the human being, they harm themselves and it is also against every gumption, and no one with open mind can say that what they do is right. Regards bro

[Bloodthr0e]

It is because you have a closed mind that disagree with them, not because you have an open mind.

[FarhadKhyber]

No brother i have open mind to discus it with you and give you all the reasons and proofs that in open mind it is not right in our time to commit such big hardship on our self, you don't have anything to say you have a close mind not me. even they can't get natural power if they do it over thousand times.

[Bloodthr0e]

You say I have a closed mind, when I'm the one able to understand a culture that is different from my own. You consider yourself open-minded, even though you are unable to understand another culture and immediately disagree with it. I fail to see the logic in your posts. Then again, I may be looking for something that isn't there. And what's this natural power you're talking about? That makes no sense.

[FarhadKhyber]

Regards brother to you and your idea, I am not claiming that i have open mind i am a human and every human being make mistakes, I gave my point of view to that tribe through my religion (Islam) and it recommends don't harm yourself it is forbidden for us (Muslim) honestly brother it doesn't have any benefits for that tribe to do such action, i understand another culture, its costumes and i respect them, natural power they believe on it and they say if they do some specific action they can get it

[DangerHat]

who are you to say what is right or wrong? I will leave it at that.

[mattlovesmeeok]

I always thank God for me not being a nigger.

[DarkkEntity]

Oh trust me. God is looking at the melting ace caps in the north pole.. counting the nuclear bombs that have spread to many countries, Counting the number of people that have died from HIV "created by the white man" God covers his ears when you pray boy. He hates you and he will turn all man and all nature against u. The white MAN is like a spreading disease destroying earth and everything in it.

[mille324]

lol...preach on, my friend

[FarhadKhyber]

brother i am the retired chief of that tribe.

[mille324]

want a fu$king medal?
