Thats just stupid...

Don't have a cow man.

That's just bull.

Ok, I'll just steer clear of this thread. I just never herd of something so silly before.

Milk it for all its worth.

That's just bull.

*Applause* You're very good at this:hail:

I'm getting a sinking feeling that this thread is going to be drowned in puns.

I just never herd of something so silly before.


I shudder at the thought.

whoa

so the pervy elder gets HIS sin expiated and the poor cow owner loses his cow AND its unborn calf.

thats just wrong.

Its udderly rediculous I know.

I think we're giving this story far too much thought. Its not healthy to ruminate over things so much

The cow, which is five months pregnant, was thrown out to the sea about 3 kilometers from land Monday. The villagers believe the animal was impregnated by a village elder.

During the ritual the man, who was caught red-handed having sexual intercourse with the cow two months ago, joined the boat trip in order to throw away his clothes to to symbolize him discarding his sins.

Math could have saved a cow. :(

Remedial math even. I think they need to beef up the level of education in those parts.

Its 5-3 now Hydes!

Whoa, talk about a bizarre story. When I first saw it I assumed it was from another forum actually.

Remedial math even. I think they need to beef up the level of education in those parts.

Too true. They are in the prime position to make an important choice about their educational futures. They must put an end to this tripe and not chuck away opportunity. The steaks are too high.

:D

I originally thought the title was meant to jerk our chains.

and some western animal activists are probably going to try to sue the village in some foreign country for drowning the cow, I know it :rolleyes:

I agree, they butter drive ahead with it. I think they should rebuild it from the ground up.

Yes, with fenced in thinking like this only bad things can happen.

I'm Indonesian, despite the many things I've seen (well, a lot of weird cultural things, but nothing that's really harmful) this tops it. Period.

There's no "I" in team. There's one "i" in impregnated. It was a cow of an idea and it wasn't amoosing

Why do I keep reading this thread? Just pun upon pun which I groan at every single time. Nah I love 'em

are you sure a human cant impregnate a cow?

Lawyers will make mincemeat out of them. They will be flanked on both sides with animal rights activists looking to slaughter them and butcher their economic futures. There will be nothing left but hamburger. :(

That was just a bizzarre mootation.

yeah we dont get much news out of indonesia and THIS is what we have to hear about?

What's your beef? So I made a spelling mistake, no need to butcher me about it.

Cudd it posssibly be that nobody cares about Indonesia otherwise?

Ha! Ha! I didn't realise you had so much at steak! Sorry Mr Hyde - I am now completely cowed.

Between the three of us (Me, You, and Hyde) I think this thread is pretty well done. We have it completly roasted.

What cracks me up is that they have a ritual for this sort of thing so it apparently happens a lot.

Why? When Larry Flint had sex with a chicken he threw it in the river.

Heheh, I just realized I have given this thread the 21 Pun Salute.

There's one reason, and basic biology would be another.

Perhaps the distraught man could contact his calf-child through the use of a medium. Well that's all I have for this cattle-cade of puns.

And LG? YOU, of all people, not launching a pun involving cowpies? I am very surprised.

Okay, looking beyond the bizarre nature of a ritual for which we have no cultural familiarity, and going beyond the puns...I'd like to actually take a brief moment to take a look at what is going on here.

These people are applying their lex loci, their traditional laws to the situation. What IS the situation? It doesn't seem to be an issue of restitution for a property crime...because there is no mention that there is restitution being paid for the drowned cow, and some mention that the owner is being deprived without compensation.

Luh Ketut Suryani, a professor and activist, deplored the sancation against PS..."The cow, which has a high price, had to be thrown away. It will be a pity for the owner, who is already poor and is now forced to lose his priceless belonging."

So if not a property issue, it's about maintaining social norms, where having intercourse with animals is a crime in and of itself. The name of the ceremony, 'freak weeding' supports this supposition. So the elder was caught, and was judged according to local customs, and a punishment was applied. He was to fund the ceremony, and very publicly admit to what he had done, as well as making a symbolic gesture to refrain from further conduct.

I don't know about you, but it seems like a pretty effective system. Other people inclined to sexually abuse animals know what the possible outcome is and would be deterred, and there is an attempt to reintegrate the offender back into the community. The only flaw I see here is that there doesn't appear to be compensation made to the owner of the cow.

The idea that the cow was impregnated by the man, even if still believed, suggests that an animal who has been sexually abused by a human is considered 'unclean', and it would seem to make more sense to have a 'cleansing' ritual for the animal too, rather than kill it...but these are not my laws.

Why didn't they just drown the elder? or is it the usual?
Did the cow dress in a sexy manner?
Was she asking for it?

Excellently said, as usual, but I have to disagree with the bolded point. Some drives are more powerful than the self-control necessitated by adhering to even the more basic of societal taboos, no matter what the law decrees. If what you said were truly effective, why on Earth are there still child molesters? Surely the overwhelmingly nasty public attention and the known reception in prison would deter anyone with even a modicum of self control. Such is, sadly and obviously, not the case.

Oh true enough...there is no deterrant strong enough to prevent any kind of crime or abuse. Law can never 'prevent' it can only react, or guide. I'm thinking more of the reasoning behind the ceremony. Surely, were these activities completely overlooked and simply regarded as distasteful but commonplace, it would happen more. Societal sanction is powerful, just not all powerful. Add in a financial punishment, and it becomes a little less 'okay' to do. Knowing you'd be exposed publicly as someone who had intercourse with an animal, and knowing you'd foot the bill for the ensuing (public) ceremony MIGHT be enough to cause some to think twice, and really, I think that's all any law can accomplish.

Fair enough.

Your elegant, lexical legerdemain is alluring beyond belief. You know that, right?

So much so that I attempt to mitigate the effect by engaging in pointless profanity, occasional violence and racist jokes. It's the only way to keep people from throwing themselves at my feet 24/7.:p

My question: There are enough people impregnating cows in that area to warrant a ritual?

Stop being so culturally sensitive. Declare their culture inferior, say something bigoted for Christs sake:p

It's really quite difficult to call that culture the equal of ours.

Nevermind Nessika. Rusty did it for you.

It's really quite difficult to call that culture the equal of ours.

And in their eyes our culture is inferior. So who is right? Superiority in this instance is a very subjective term.


Now, mooving back on to the puns.

It's really quite difficult to call that culture the equal of ours.

I'm interested in more than the surface strangeness of it. The underlying legal philosophy is what is fascinating.

Do you honestly think that no one in the western world sexually abuses animals? What sanctions are there for these people? It's obviously unacceptable behaviour in both our cultures. So I'm not really sure where you're getting the idea that our cultures are so incompatible.

Isn't your government monitoring everything you do on the internet? Those people may need a few lessons in biology, but I dare say Big Brother wasn't watching while that elder was making sweet moosic with his cow friend.



Oh come on, how could I let this thread pass without making at least one pun?

Sorry!

Well, I guess it's interesting because this kind of story is awfully rare, even if it wasn't particularly well-done.

*cough*

To make puns is human. To laugh at the puns is bovine!

When I first read the title I read it as "Cow impregnated by human to free man from sins" which was much cooler than what it actually said.

Humans are the universe's entertainment. Our innate stupidity allows higher beings to point and laugh which in turn helps them unwind from the stresses of advanced extraterrestrial life. This is how us humans use our brains to better the universe. :D

You must not have payed attentio to the first 2 pages... I myself had over 20 cow references and with LG here it was close to 30+ between us. But lets get some more in there.

Sadly, this cowboy won't be able to take part much longer in this thread tonight because he's got to hoof it back home in an hour or so.

We could say the same of your contribution to it.

Well we already prodded him out of our little spam rodeo. He was just riding the bull anyway.

And really, the fact that nobody has publicly admitted to cracking up at my "cowpoke" gag makes me sad inside. :(

I just want to say, that while I like the people who made the puns, I do think they need to be lined up and shot.

Drown the man for dirtying the cow.

wow that's weird
all the good puns are already taken you could say its punishable

whoa

so the pervy elder gets HIS sin expiated and the poor cow owner loses his cow AND its unborn calf.

thats just wrong.
Yeah, think of the fortune that they could have made as a sideshow act.

Must be a Muslim thing.
