In Benin, painful cutting and scarring of the skin leaves interesting patterns that signify adulthood.

  • You guys are seriously such dumbasses. Because something is different, and your not used to it, you label it as "savage" and "stupid". Look at all the shit we do! Circumcision, everybody has tattoos nowadays. Its called culture. If they did that in America, you would think its completely normal and would probably be commenting on how brutal circumcision is. Stop being so fucking close minded

  • Calling these people stupid is no different than then calling us stupid for injecting ink under our skin or piercing our skin in metal objects, different strokes, different folks...

  • Really who cares weather they get there faces cut. IT may hurt but thats because they are babies, Babies cry over lego being dropped on their head, it may hurt but later on they are proud if their scars, Mongoo got up and said IM VERY HAPPY, so what its not like anyone is asking you to like the Idea. For gods sake no one CARES WEATHER YOU THINK ITS BARBARIC or CRUEL.

  • hey mongoo! LOL

  • Mongoo was hot :)

  • DAMM, those guys are ripped!!

  • What's normal is relative so if you don't agree with their culture because its weird or cruel that's your opinion but you can't say its wrong. Its just different

    Do you realize that cutting your hands off lower the chances of stealing right?

  • @scorpion20112

    You do realize that circumcision grants health benefits such as lower chances of infection, right?
