Kanamara Matsuri!

On a less serious note…

Courtesy of Daze Reader, we have this charming Japanese festival (be sure to check out the pictures, too!):

Kanamara Festival is held every April 15th at Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine in Kawasaki Japan, this is about as wild and pagan as it gets…The festival celebrates the vanquishing of a demon that lived in a woman’s vagina and would bite off the penises of her lovers! According to legend, a local craftsman fashioned a steel phallus which broke the demon’s teeth.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I’m gay.

    Ah, so that’s what those are for! I’ve seen things like that for sale at shops on Halsted…
