What's Next? A Flavor of Herpes Exclusive to Baboons?

20020201h

It bothers me when I read news stories about people in Cameroon presenting with infections of HIV strains that are only found in gorillas.

Seriously, you lackwits. I lose faith in humanity as a whole when I find out that you are going into the jungles and raping lesser primates. I could do the coarse thing here and ask aloud what, if anything, Africans won't rape, but I'm afraid that I wouldn't get an answer back.

I think the the theory is that they are eating the apes and contracting it that way.

I'm also going to go out on a limb and theorize that any activity with a great ape is "consensual." After all, a five-hundred pound gorilla sits anywhere he wants to.

Listing all great-ape related sexual activity as consensual ignores the possibility that the ape is not the victim, but the aggressor. After all, a five-hundred pound gorilla sits anywhere he wants to.
