New Guinea sex cult eyes bumper banana crop

Papua New Guinea police have dispatched officers to a remote village where the leader of a sex cult rather brilliantly promised locals "a bumper banana harvest" if they made the beast with two backs in public. Apparently, the deal was that every time villagers from Yamina in Morobe province got their rocks off, the banana …

oooh !

"but Peli had legged it into the bush."

How many bananas did that earn him ?

[Fred 1]

Sounds plausible

Perhaps this would explain the recent glut of Essex bananas in the shops.

Another gem!

Completely pointless, with no IT-angle whatsoever, but I love it!

Keep 'em coming!

They sound like a slippery bunch.

Who could possibly believe this?

I mean what difference can it possibly make? Bananas don't have eyes or ears, so how can they tell?

Last time I read about such blatant nonsense was here:

Perfectly logical

More naked people (males) = more "bananas" on show.

Britain has dogging hotspots?

Really?

oh yeah - I forget, there was that one video on www.youporn - fat ol' slags being mounted by sweaty pale grey grunts tho

To be honest, looked more 'back garden' than dogging hotspot.

I'd imagine they believe that getting down and doing the worm effects the banana crop on some kind of spiritual level, rather than by giving them the herbal equivalent of the horn.

Now I know

Why my vegetables are all dry and shrivelled.

[Anonymous Coward]

Interestingly...

...in Finnish, "peli" means "game".

[Anonymous Coward]

Tried it...

And It doesn't work with other fruit, made my Plumbs shrivel.

tee hee

"...guru Thomas Peli has for four months been using threats of violence to enforce his radical banana fertility plan."

tee-hee, rape! So funny!

Thanks, Register, for reminding us that you think all geeks are porn-addled rape-lovin' assholes!

essex banana

Fred 1: "Essex banana" _definitely_ sounds like a euphemism. I'm not sure what for, but you know what I mean :)

@ tee hee AC

Rape? What rape? Threat of violence could be anything. I didn't see any indication that said violence would be rape -- he could be threatening to beat people up if they refuse to have sex in public. Which is quite different from rape, although they could coincide. But I don't see that in the text.

Only a porn-addled, rape-lovin' asshole geek would automatically jump to the conclusion they were talking about rape. One track mind, much?

Duh. If you coerce someone into having sex, that's rape. End of story. Though I suppose if someone wanted to have sex anyway, but you coerce them into doing it in public instead of private, it wouldn't EXACTLY be rape. But that's splitting hairs IMHO. And it's not clear which happened from the story in any case.

[unitron]

It only seems like a change

Simple, really.

The banana output is fixed, but in those years when the men fail to rise to the occasion frequently enough, some of them get diverted from their intended destination.

Mine's the one the contents of whose pockets are strictly for medicinal and educational purposes.

[Big-nosed Pengie]

It can't hurt to try!

Let's all do it in the road in the expectation that iPhones will fall from the skies and curved yellow fruit will be plentiful.

Maybe he's got something!

Paris. Obviously.

Legged it to the bush

Indeed, he probably had his hand in there!
