China hates us

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles Zoo will not get a trio of rare golden monkeys from China as promised, after the city spent more than $7 million to build them a new home and hired a feng shui expert to see that it was suitable.
City Councilman Tom LaBonge said Wednesday that withholding the monkeys was a decision by the Chinese government. He said the city's disappointed.
Then-mayor James Hahn went to China in 2002 seeking pandas for the zoo, but returned with the promise of the blue-faced, blond-haired monkeys as substitutes.
The special exhibit -- which cost about $7.4 million -- was designed to create the sense of a rural Chinese village.
Zoo Commission President Shelby Kaplan Sloan says the zoo will find other monkeys for the space.

This is the ultimate slap in the face from China. The mayor of Los Angeles should do what I do when someone doesn't follow through with a promise they made. Send them a strongly worded letter. Mine would go something like this:

Dear China,
Give me those monkeys, damnit.
Love, LinzFactory
