Dear god. What is it with the spiders down there? Something in the water??

[pawnbroker]

I would have asked someone to suck the poison out.

That comment instantly reminded of this great scene.

The Katipo is the only poisonous species of spider in NZ and this doofus manages get bitten on the wang ?! Bloody tourists !

first, i never go dimping anywhere????

next, doesn't this sum up both nations - who but a sealbasher would go swimming in anything but a serious wet suit this time of year, let alone naked. it must have been soooooo cold.

second, the kiwi spider had the choice of biting the bloke anywhere - yet it choses the tackle?

and smithy, what are you doing posting. shouldn't you be trying to unravel ayala's drivel on that video?

[samb]

Not THAT is scary.

[mazolaman]

I hope they didn't have to remove the affected area...

If he had gone swimming in our waters,the spider wouldn't have been able to find it...

[MIKA27]

It looks almost identical to the Red Back spider.

Looks like Spider man can have a side kick now with "Spider Wang"

[OZCUBAN]

Could be a lot worse

[KurtE]

I dominate Shelob. Quite a pathetic spider really

[StumpyJoe]

could have gone a lifetime without reading this story.

that's just not right...

[CigarmanTim]

If only the swelling were permanent

[anacostiakat]

*** spiders? Not that there is anything wrong with that. . .

[ARRV]

Likely story - man returns home with red swollen Wang . "no baby, I wasn't out last night I just fell asleep on a beach naked and a tiny spider bit it"

but of course

[acidmase]

that ain't right!!!!!

[BeeStinga]

Wow, we get about one Katapo spider bite every ten years and it has to go and do that... I agree 'that ain't right'.
