BBC – Indonesian police have confiscated a sex toy from a remote village after its inhabitants and some on social media mistook it for an “angel”.
The doll was found in March floating in the sea by a fisherman in the Banggai islands in Sulawesi province. His family took care of the doll, and pictures soon spread online along with claims it was an angel. Police investigated amid fears
Many across Indonesia continue to hold strong beliefs in the supernatural, including the existence of “bidadari”, which is a type of angel or spirit. Local police chief Heru Pramukarno told reporters that villagers had found the doll shortly after the rare March solar eclipse that swept across South East Asia.
The timing of the discovery led some to believe the doll had a divine provenance. “They have no internet, they don’t know what a sex toy is,” the police chief was quoted as saying by AFP news agency.
In 2012, a TV station in China’s Xian city apologised after running a false report that a local farmer had discovered a giant piece of precious lingzhi mushroom. The fleshy object, found in a well by the farmer, was identified by many viewers as a sex toy made of silicone.
