Hounen Penis Fertility Festival Video

You can never find a giant 12 foot penis when you need one but then when you don't.............

Join the fun in Komaki, Japan each March 15 for the Penis Festival (or Chiwawa Matsuri) where hundreds gather to parade such a phallus through the streets in a bizarre male fertility rite. Mix in a bunch of women weilding smaller 2 foot versions of the main attraction and a tempting range of penis shaped snacks and and you got yourself one interesting anthropological study at the very least.

Food for thought that!
Watch the Chiwawa Matsuri - Penis Festival video now. (video courtesy of nubient and youtube)
