Kenyan Monkeys Accused of Sexual Harrassment

“ 'A troop of monkeys has been making ‘lewd signs’ at women and children trying to harvest crops south of Nairobi, and the farmers feel so harassed that Kenya’s Wildlife Service is sending in animal control teams to confront the animals,' according to the Telegraph of London.”

Ed Cognoski responds:

This is what Dallas Blog has sunk to. It was never a serious news source, but at least it showed promise. Yes, there was too much coverage of how bad a person was the latest prisoner put to death in Huntsville, or the latest crime committed by an illegal immigrant, or the latest sign of collapse of Christian civilization in Europe, or how atheism is taking over American schools. There was too much sniping at The Dallas Morning News by former employees (fired or retired, who knows).

But still, there was something refreshing about a blog that also gave space to people like Ed Ishmael and Ken Molberg and allowed a free-wheeling discussion in the reader responses. Their voices are long gone and contrary opinions in the reader responses are now as likely to be censored as allowed. Most stories now attract zero comments.

Lately, Tom McGregor feeds us a steady stream of links to stories from the Times of London, the Telegraph, the Guardian and other British newspapers. Including this story about Kenyan monkeys making lewd gestures. Can the stories on Saddam and Osama's gay wedding and Hillary adopting a space alien baby be far behind?

P.S. No sooner did I post this item when Tom McGregor posted today's Dallas Blog link to another Telegraph story, "Mustached Men Struggle against Discrimination." Impeccable timing, Tom.

And to anyone clicking here to find out about Kenyan monkeys or mustached men, I'm sorry that you won't find any more information here. Next time, go to Dallas Blog.
