The National Geographic Channel has obtained what may be the only existing footage of an actual human head-shrinking ceremony in South America.
The film was made in 1961 by Polish Explorer Edmundo Bielawski, who, with a team of seven, set out to explore and document the worlds largest rain forest: The Amazon.
Head-shrinking was only practiced by one portion of the Amazon jungle-dwelling population- the Shuar. Headshrinking was a form of summary justice carried out on enemies. The shrinking process was deemed necessary to stop the victims evil spirit from seeking revenge.

Should rename that channel National GeoUngraphic.
As for the half man, a bit more amputation and he could join the politics forum. He'd be able to talk out of his arse. For a bit of television gore, google Budd Dwyer suicide. Blew the top off his own head off with a 357 Magnum in February 1987, on live television. Not recommended for children, women, poofs or the squeamish. |
