Who Knew Pinned-Up Meat in Central Park Was HooDoo?

2006_08_voodoo.jpgThere's a possibility that the meat full of 3-inch pins, found in Central Park and eaten by a dog, was actually a Santeria hoo doo ritual. A hoodoo supply shop owner tells the Daily News that putting pins in a cut of tongue is "a very old and popular spell used to silence people. It can be used in any case where there's a witness that's going to speak against you." So you put it out in the park? The News was also told by the Portland Tribune that there were a number of "needle-studded cow tongues" found in January, leading Oregon animal control to believe it was less animal cruelty and more a withcraft ritual. Calling Law & Order!

Hoodoo and Voodoo are different (your graphic)...just sayin'.

They may be different but they're both a crock of shit. ;-)

Why is it that America gets all the crackpot religions; from the President of Jesusland to the hoodoo in the park? When the next new continent is discovered, can we please establish a country where the crazies aren't allowed in?

yeah, america gets all the crackpot religions. obviously you haven't been watching the news for the past week.
