Wow, so jenkem was largely a TOTSE creation? Do you have any idea how the original stories from Africa got started — were there TOTSE members in Zambia?

There's a BBC article from 1999 about jenkem in Africa. It's messed up and sad. Someone saw that and turned it into a meme. Jenkem in America was a totse creation
