Trapped student rescued from giant ‘vagina’

Summer is upon us, and tourists all over the world are doing really stupid stuff and getting themselves into trouble. Today we present the unnamed American exchange student who, while abroad in Germany, required the help of no less than 22 rescue workers to extricate him from the statue of a vagina, in which he inserted himself on a dare.

Last Friday, the twenty-year-old man reportedly crawled inside a Peruvian statue called the Chacán-Pi, which represents the “gateway to the world” as a six-foot-tall vagina made of stone. The statue has sat proudly outside the microbiology and virology department of the university in Tuebingen for 13 years and is reportedly worth about $200,000. Reports don’t say how having an American stuck in it permanently would have affected the value or the expression of the piece.

The whole point of the stunt it seems was to get a funny photo.

Once inserted, however, the young man could not get out. According to rescue workers, ”We were able to pull the victim out with our bare hands after about 30 minutes,” adding that a “forceps delivery was not necessary.”

The mayor of Tuebingen later said in an interview that he couldn’t understand how such a thing could happen, “even when considering the most extreme adolescent fantasies.” From this we are to understand that no one ever thought to do this before.

The mayor added, “To reward such a masterly achievement with the use of 22 firefighters almost pains my soul.”
