You May Now Kiss the.....frog? 2009-06-20 05:15:45 Wacky News - blog profile


What do a drought, a couple of frogs, and a wedding have to do with each other? A marriage ceremony between two frogs to end the drought, that's what. The Northeastern Assam state of India has been suffering a great lack of rain, pushing them to find other ways of obtaining water.

Forget irrigation, canals, or a sewage system, in Northeastern India it's all about the God of Rain, Barun Devata. A marriage between two frogs is said to please the God, causing him to pour blessings of rain upon the believers. And you thought your Star Trek themed wedding was cool.
I for one, am outraged at the unfair treatment of animals. This is another example the cruelty that animals face worldwide. The frogs aren't given a chance to choose their spouses. Furthermore what if the frog already has a wife, she must be pretty mad. What if the the frog already had kids? They will grow up without knowing their father or mother. And if the frog wants a divorce, what happens then?
Perhaps that is why they're a having a drought. The God of Animal Protection is not happy with the treatment the frogs are receiving.
Needless to say I hope that the pair of frogs in the video have a happy marriage, that the Indian people receive their rainfall, and that this story has a happy ending.
