The deeper meaning behind an asian culture - Aluba

A few days ago my friend send me a link towards wiki link http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Corner . It explain a asian country tradition, Aluba; often seen performed by asian high school students. Aluba is basicly a act of a single male being held up by many other males, the male who is being held up are than being driven towards an object( a tree or a poll etc); colliding at his precious part. Even tho Aluba seems to be just an stupid act done by younger boys to kill time during school, it actually have some deeper meaning behind it. From reading of the web page, i learn that Aluba is used against those who is not corperating in a group of people; to punish them in a humorous way; not neccersary used to bully younger or smaller kids. Aluba were later band in asian schools because of it's hidden symbol to sex, also some argue that it may lead to damage to the sexual organs. Since the web page is in chinese, there is still a drawn picture of how Aluba is performed; for those who are curious of how aluba is performed.
