The MSM Gets it Wrong Again

Okay, so here's the headline:

Peru Seizes Cocaine Haul Hidden in Giant Squid.

No big deal, just your average everyday news story. It's not like its alien fish in Chicago, hobbit remains discovered in Indonesia, or monkeys using their brains to control computers. It's just some cocaine hidden in a giant squid.

But if you follow the link to the AP/Yahoo slideshow, what do you get? Three pictures of cops with bricks of cocaine. Um, hello? I had a pretty good idea of what cops (even Peruvian cops) look like anyway. And we've all seen big bricks of drugs like that on TV. It's like following one of the links above and getting a picture of the computer, not the monkey. Or maybe getting a nice picture of the Sears Tower rather than, say, a snakehead.

So I present here for the edification of my readers a resonable fascimile of a Pervuian cop removing cocaine from a giant squid.

Note to CBS employees: This is NOT an actual photograph. For one thing, Peruvians traditionally pile their giant squids on towers made of bamboo, not brick.

ROTFL! Nice work Phil!
