A new wave of smuggling is happening. Immigrants, mainly from Africa, are smuggling in "bush meat", like monkey for a taste of home. Problem is, monkeys in Africa tend to carry some nasty stuff like AIDS and Ebola. Here's a link to the article in the AJC.

There are several amazing bits of language in there. It's possible that I'm slap happy from only getting 4 hours of sleep after return of the king, but i just had to share:

"They were shocked by what they saw --- an entire smoked monkey."

"In August, two large monkey heads seized from a passenger arriving in Atlanta from Senegal apparently were intended for consumption by a family of immigrants, authorities said."

"Many airport inspectors are still inexperienced in recognizing the illegal meat."

Raise hands all who would like to be a part of the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force.

I'm trying to decide what to do first: taste smoked monkey or start a punk band called "Illegal Meat"
