New York Times Gives Whistles to Hunted Albinos

The New York Times finally got hold of the story I originally blogged about here back in early April- that albino people are being harvested for body parts by insane witch doctors in Tanzania.

I note that not too much has changed in the story since I wrote about it in April. Only 19 albinos have supposedly been chopped up for lucky charms, which is the same body count from April.

But now, thanks to the NYTimes reporter, the featured Albino dude running for his life now has a nifty penny whistle to- oh, I don’t know- play a tune or something while crazed witch doctors slice and dice him. You’d think they would have given him a firearm, a big stick, a TASER or something. You can see the sad video of the albino blowing his whistle here. I mean, sheesh, its not even a good whistle. Its like blowing on a party favor.

And hey, Tanzania is a majority Islamic country, but I’m not too sure whether or not that has anything to do with cutting up albino people for luck- all I’m saying is these sorts of shenanigans don’t happen in countries with any other religious majority.
