Waiting For Philip - Vanuatu

September 2010

In the past 100 years the British monarchy has lost a lot of its shine. However, in a tiny corner of the South Pacific, one royal is worshipped. A far cry from Britain's most controversial prince...

The locals of Tanna eagerly await the return of Prince Philip, who they believe is an ancestral spirit who emerged from a volcano to marry the queen. "According to a prophecy, the spirit who became Prince Philip is due to return". In anticipation, his 89th birthday saw the island irrupt in celebration, and although the 'second coming' never happened the villagers spirits aren't dampened. "One day his spirit will come and rest here".

@a012345 i guess well find out when phillip dies and no one gives an account of his resurrection

This is interesting - it shows how probably every religion once emerged. there was the army general who wanted to conquer what would become zion (moses). there was the young liberal reformer of moses' ideas (jesus). there was the sick pedophile/fascist pervert (mohammed). and for these natives it's prince philip. only difference: philip probably didn't deceive them on purpose. so yeah, if i was religious, i'd go with him, too.

@roskildahphreak your callous comment speaks volumes about your true state of happiness. you should really watch "meet the natives" to understand how happy these people really are compared to us, how much WE suffering due to the lack of humanity and kindness in our daily life. even if we living in nices homes, surrounded by nice things, our hearts are empty and we doesn't develop much care and love for the living beings arround us.

What a bunch of fucking morons!

The English royal family is a german zionist parasite family that has infected all of Europe. They're the complete oposite of a messiah!

No wonder these people live in stickbuildings!
