April 24, 2007: Mursi tribe member features lip disk, russian rifle, ipod

"Making the rounds on Digg and Boing Boing", says gmr2048. All we know is that it's a female member of Mursi tribe in Southern Ethiopia. But boy if there ever was a shot that needed to go up without much explanation...

If I were a wild boar during mating season, I'd be all over that.

I wonder if she's listening to the vagina monologues podcast.

deja vu

So I'll say it again: it has to listen to the IPod 'cause all its CDs are in its lips.

Damn, that must have been painful.

Just a wild guess but I'll bet she's listening to some Spaghetti Western classics of Ennio Morricone.

Nah, she's a Pink fan. Get this party started.

Nah...she's probably a Pantera fan.

She's got an i-Pod, a HUGE plate in her lip. About 20lbs of shells on her head and an automatic weapon. If she has her period too, someone's gonna get hurt.

Now THAT's someone ready for a visit from the government about those illegal mp3 downloads.

That iPod is soooooo two years ago. Bet she got it off of ebay.

(www.ebay.et?)

hubba hubba! The bigger the ring, the more desirable she is to a potential husband. That, combined with the gun and the ipod, means this women is hot property!

Doesn't the giant lip jewelry hinder her efforts to fight in a war? She might as well suck on a giant red target sign.

Paging Don Imus....

Those Mursi have really gone to hell, what with being suckered into an Ipod and Itunes...

Is that a dollar in her left hand?

Maybe she moonlights as a stripper, and those are the dollars the carousing tribesmen stuck in her...um, lip disc?

I was halfway down the posts when I realised "it's a woman"
WTF

I predict the younger generation Mersi tribe chicks will have their ipods mounted in their lips soon.

even i dont have an ipod. rich bastards

If you had an AK-47 you could get an iPod.... easily.

I wonder what she looks like without the disk?

And no one has commented that she appears to be topless.

She's got the AK47 cuz she's pissed about her Apple Ipod battery failure policy.

She's got an AK as well

Sheldonrs's observation on page one cracked me up! Then I remembered this photo I took in Guizhou province (China) about two years ago. Granny looks like she's hunting for someone...not me I hope.
