 |
|
One of Asia's few remaining primitive uncontacted indigenous tribes has
been spotted and photographed on the peninsula between China and Japan.
In the above photo the tribe is openly hostile and suspicious of the
outside world.
The Japanese government says it took the images to prove the tribe
exists and help protect its land. Disease is also a risk, as members
of tribal groups that have been contacted in the past have died
of illnesses that they have no defence against, such as mad
cow disease, AIDS and SARS.

| Correct, it's a group of uncontacted indigenous Filipinos that were spotted by plane in a remote part of the Suwon environs last month, according to Survival International. The region is threatened by illegal soju distillation. "It is absurd to say there are uncontacted peoples when no one has seen them," said Oh, Yu Suk, chairman of Suwon public relations. |

Openly hostile and suspicious of the outside world you say? I guess that's why you confused them with a Korean tribe  |

| Cohiba is clearly forgetting the fact that kimchi prevents people from even getting SARS and possibly several other diseases. |

They must be related to the hairy thing that whats-his-name guy on Dave's saw and then subsequently drew a terrific picture for us all to see.  |

Anthropologists speculate that the hostile reaction of the tribe was due to their mistaking the helicopter for a giant fan - no doubt the peninsula tribesmen thought a mass apocalypse was imminent, according to their fan death from the sky mythology.
Recent high resolution satellite scans show the tribesmen to have an intricate social structure and unique technological innovations. A language system based entirely on spitting and phlegm exists, while females of the tribe carve elaborate high heel shoes from old tree trunks. |

LOL, I don't know which is funnier - the original post, or the people around here with an irony deficiency  |

Who the *beep* are you? Why are you going so far out of your way to insult me? *beep* you. I would never insult another stranger's family like that. You are a petty little small person who would never say what you just did in person. You little weakling. Go do us all a favor and jump off a cliff. |
