Is this really news?

Okay so the local news station just listed their top headlines. One of which was, "Slaton woman thinks she may have been scammed when trying to purchase a monkey from Africa." Is this for real????? Seriously???? Do we not have anything more pressing to talk about???? I think some serious re-evaluation needs to take place. I mean I just laughed out loud. I mean, who tries to buy a monkey? Suzanne and I wanted a monkey when we were little, but this was a grown woman. That's just weird.
