Man forced to marry goat in southern Sudan
Edited on Sat Feb-25-06 08:15 PM by Gman
Feb 24, 2006 (MALAKAL) — A certain Mr Tombe was caught having an intimate relation with a goat belonging to a Mr Alifi at Hai Malakal — Upper Nile State, southern Sudan — on February 13. Tombe was ordered to pay the goat’s dowry and take the animal as his wife.

Well, just damn! I guess the RW will hold this up as a real life example of what will happen if we allow gay marriage.

p.s. Where's Matcom?

9. Sounds like a cheap meal

Mr Tombe agreed immediately to pay for the goat, and paid half the dowry 150,000 Sudanese dinars up front.

150,000 dinar is about $15. So for a $30 he get a nice goat to eat.

10. Nice goat to eat?
How do you know that a goat involved in such a lustful affair is still a "nice goat"?

11. If Sudan was a US state, he'd be "Senator Tombe (R)" in no time.

I should think they would be more worried about the fine for insest, Family values take on a whole new meaning for redneck repukes.

13. If there was a similar law in the US...
Most Republicans would have to mary an animal of some kind.

16. here is a scandal that has been used for blackmail for decades, ..LINK...
http://www.total411.info/2005/02/jeff-gannon-johnny-gosch-hunter.html

there is a lot of info on this if you just Google: 'boys town child prostitution ring' or 'Bush and boys town'..

i met one of the boys in this scandal and he had a lot to say about how many of them were perverts..

i have always believed the reason for the party line votes for the Republicans was blackmail for pictures of them with farm animals and children or really ugly crack Ho's

15. I feel bad for the goat.
She went through an ordeal with that man, and now she's his property. She got a lousy deal.
