in that borat movie, he goes around demanding gypsy tears from people and claims that a jar of gypsy tears wards off sexually transmitted diseases. is this actual folklore or just a product of his comedy? ive just been curious about the topic, and google has been of no help.

Are you a gypsy? I guess it upset you.

no, just sparked my curiosity, considering old world superstitions and folklore amuse me. i was wondering if he just made it up or if it was actually believed at one time to be beneficial. do you have anything to contribute?

Meltdown thread

ok, i guess you just want to prevent any discussion on this forum.

anyway, here's a quote from the movie:

"Use Protection: Do not make a sexytime without precaution against disease. A jar of gypsy tears worn around neck will prevent from infect by Herpes and Gonnoreas."

I love Borat. I used to watch it all the time on the Ali G show. The film was great.

Classic

yes, a real knee-slapper.

but anyway, was this borrowed from actual folklore?

All I know is some sell "lucky heather" which is a scam.

why did you edit? your post was very descriptive.

I didn't want to warn people who visit a certain part of London, as it is amusing to watch.

Shouldn't this be in the movie forum? Damn Borat is funny.

must be a riot.

gypsy tears used to prevent std's: old world folklore or hollywood fiction?

God knows.... Depends if you believe in magic, do you think the "Jew Claw" is real? Was it gypsies his people threw down wells?

No one's derailing your topic. Why should I report you? I'm making an observation. No need to get defensive.

Most likely hollywood fiction.

It'd be great if it was folklore.

Like witch craft most myths surrounding gypsies are made up and exagerated out of proportion from the actual folklore. Nothing that i have read regarding gypsies has ever mentioned gypsy tears in the slightest. I'm inclinced to say like most assuredly everything else that Borat says, the gypsy reference, is from the comedic imagination of sacha baron.

Um, no. Not wanted, needed. He got locked out. Must I spell it out for you?

Maybe for the same reason I'm not listed as a user currently browsing this forum; to avoid interactions with ass clowns like yourself.

That's very ironic considering you initiated this interaction. I'm sure you know more about ass than me anyway Anyway I'm leaving for a few weeks. You take care. Remember condoms are your friends.

They gave him the choice to reopen it. He declined.

I read that.

My presence as a member of this forum initiated the interaction, simply by virtue of the fact that I'm a member here and the only semblance of a life you can find for yourself is to harass people on an internet forum because you think it's unfair that they aren't miserable in life, like you.

What does it matter if he or myself are on here in invisible mode? You think it's some measure of cowardice, but what does that say about a lonely middle aged man that has 15 accounts on an internet forum where the average age is likely 16?

I have never understood why you pity us so much because we interact on the internet, when it seems your entire life in on the net concerning yourself with my sex life.

much appreciated.

and yes, folklore such as this usually comes from other cultures, so one can never be too sure. perhaps the topic should remain open just in case anyone has info from other cultures which may or may not have had such beliefs on the medicinal purposes of gypsy tears.



Indeed perhaps we could investigate lucky heather next.

Hollywood fiction. Like most things hollywood.

Its a new form of degradation of Romani, in my opinion.




cyber tuff guy, consider yourself warned for trolling. Anyone else trolling, can consider themselves warned as well.

its sock #46040 of whirlysplat. i cant think of how he could make that more clear, short of saying "i'm whirlysplat"

Yeah, but the Running of the Jews was funny.

Gypsy Tears


Sounds like a song.

thats really unfortunate. is lack of education common among gypsies?

Yes it is unfortunately. For example, in FYROM (Macedonia) 75% of romani children are attending classes for children who have difficulties learning, and around 70% of them are unemployed, of countries average 9%.
In Romania and Slovenia they are heavily discriminated against.

While I was browsing internet for gypsy tears, I found out that in Slovenia they actually kicked them out of their homes on the grounds that they are Romani people and should not be allowed presence in Slovenia at all.

Its sad.

Wow, and I thought Gypsies were extinct.

Why?

And no they're not. Must be terrible not being welcomed anywhere by anyone.

Finally.

These Whirly socks are so easy to spot.

So Raz doesn't want people using proxies? Is that what I am to gather from that?

I suspect that it was the use of proxies + Whirlyish habits. (That is, Whirly's an idiot and proxies indicate that someone's trying to hide something. It might not be from the mods, but it might be.)

I thnk Borat just made it up...I've never heard any superstitions about Gypsy Tears, although I would like to try it out.

You forgot the droolio.

and scrolling ascii penises and anuses. most disappointing
