See, we all know that anthropogenic global warming is gonna make things rough, but its tough to actually get ourselves making changes. This is because humans are rubbish at responding to distant, nearly abstract motivations.
So I’m all in favour of this as a new way of motivating action: if you don’t stop climate change, a tiger will bite you in the scrotum.
Wildlife experts say endangered tigers in the world’s largest reserve are turning on humans because rising sea levels and coastal erosion are steadily shrinking the tigers’ natural habitat… “”We were trying to catch the tiger perched on a tree of our village with tranquiliser shots,” said the 47-year-old villager. “But it flung on me after falling on a net and bit my loins.”
I’m feeling more motivated already.

Clearly, we should stake out criminals with their loins exposed as sacrifices to sate the mighty jungle beasts, and continue driving our SUVs with clear conscience.
Yeah Man. I read that and was just “what?”. No details on how the loins are doing now, whether they’re still attached, damaged… doesn’t sound good.
Only diligent use of public transport can preserve your loins!
Ah, what it is to be a woman and be able to pollute with impunity… ?!
Yep, I read that too and wondered what actually happened to his loins, same with that guy who apparently slid 20 metres on his face while car surfing recently. Does he still have a face? People need to know!
The Greens missed out on a cracking image for their election hoardings, is a I can say. A tiger munching on some unfortunate bloke’s nads is far more inspiring that a pic of some ad exec’s brat.
Karen: are you saying a tiger bite to the loins ain’t no thing to a woman? That’s HARD. I’m impressed.
Well now Joey, Morgue did say scrotum, a body part I lack:-) But I can’t say I’m more disturbed by the idea of loin savaging than other savaging… head and abdomen, even limbs seem more critical to my current existence…
Perhaps my armour of chastity protects me? 🙂
I guess I was going more from the words of the victim than from Morgue’s reportage. Bloggers tend to distort the facts, you see.
I’m still impressed that you don’t consider a tiger bite to be a barrier to polluting.
Now Joey, I think with the clarification that the tiger will bite her on a bit she does have, Karen’s position can be assumed to be modified – so she’s no longer able to pollute with impunity, but just wonders why there’s anything special about a punity delivered to the loins as opposed to any other kind of bite.
Its dirty filthy womens privilege if you ask me.
Oy, who are you calling dirty and filthy?
