Wow! The Annual Penis Festival just Happened - in Japan! (See Photos)

 This has to be one of the weirdest festivals ever! During spring in Japan, every year, people flock to Kawasaki to celebrate Kanamara Matsuri aka the "Festival of the Steel Phallus."

Held this year on April 6, the festival is a celebration of the penis and fertility in a no-holds-barred kind of way. And it is carried out in a carnivalesque, friendly atmosphere that puts a smile on the face of every visitor.



People parade gigantic phallic-shaped mikoshi (portable Shinto shrines) down the streets during the event, as revelers suck on penis lollipops, buy penis-themed memorabilia and pose with sculptures in the shape of -- you guessed it -- penises.




According to the BBC, the festival is believed to have roots in the 17th century, when prostitutes are said to have prayed for protection from sexually transmitted infections at Kawasaki's Kanamara shrine. But today, the festival reportedly raises awareness about safe sex practices and fundraises for HIV prevention.

Scroll down to see the (somewhat NSFW) photographs of this year's Kanamara Matsuri:which attracts both masses of locals and a considerable tourist contingent.

Mr. Best denies having intentions for the office of the D.O.S in the forthcoming S.U.G election.

Sometimes I am forced to relent in my efforts to contribute my own quota towards the growth and development of ANSU social sector. This is because my efforts are mistaken to be a trick and a way to get into ANSU politics. Which is fallacy! Rumors already have it that I intend vying for the office of the Director of Social (D.O.S) in the forthcoming elections. I little wonder who told them that. Whoever started that rumor is a good rumor monger and should be employed! Well, my friends, my little contribution to the growth of ANSU is due to the passion I have to be a change that I want to see. The last encounter I had with students from UNILAG was an unpleasant. It happened some months ago when I paid the Literature students a visit and introduced myself as a student of ANSU. But I was shocked when non of the students admitted to be familiar with the name ANSU talk more of Igbariam Campus. They asked me weather I was talking of UNIZIK, I said no, its near Unizik. Still my efforts t
