  • What was the fern-like greenery at 00:41? Am I an idiot - is that weed?

  • Mimosa pudica - the "shy" or "sensitive plant"

  • I am constantly amazed at what some idiots think is funny!

  • the "idiots" you mention (those laughing during the intense slaughter scene) are members of an indigenous Guaymi community. They live in complete isolation from modern "civilization", 10.5 hours upriver from the nearest town. Most members have lived their entire lives in isolation in the jungle. The video is REAL, and gives you a window into the lives of people you don't even know exist - the pig was our gift to the community to thank them for their hospitality.

  • thats horrible!!!!

    poor pig:(

  • Ouch. You can tell that dudes been killin swine for a long time. He smacked it once and brought it down.

  • datroof18, yes your an idiot cause its not what you think it is. Its a plant that folds in when touched or any friction or movements

  • totally didn't expect the footage in the end. i thought i as just looking at botflies. I understand thats how you eat but still sad to see that big have to go through that many blows and pretty much cut open alive. wish there was a more ethical way to kill pigs with less pain. but that sentence itself is like an oxymoron.

  • THEY WERE ONLY LAUGING CAUSE THAT GUY WAS A PUSSY AND HE COULDNT KILL THE PIG...Its what you do to eat...its not idiocidy.
