Search for the Amazon Headshrinkers

Ummmmm! National geographic Channel has obtained what could be the only footage of an actual human headshrinking ceremony in South America. Boiled, dried, and repeat (which i might remind myself is called recursion.. or maybe an infinite loop?). When i saw my first and only shrink head was at the Mutter Museum of College of Physicians of Philadelphia and at the time i thought those were made of some kind of plastic. Creepy Sh**. Anyway, to see this malfunction of program in this Matrix we call existence, tune in to National Geographic Channel Sunday, November 15th 9 p.m. Eastern Time…. I’m one day late…. wait till it comes out on hulu i guess. Follow the link to see 4 clips from the show.
