"Human rights activists have criticised the organisers of a music festival in the Republic of Congo for housing pygmy musicians in a tent at a zoo.
Other artists at the Festival of Pan-African Music (Fespam) are staying in hotels in the capital, Brazzaville.
The organisers say the grounds of Brazzaville zoo are closer to the pygmies' natural habitat.
But the pygmy musicians say they had expected to be housed properly while staying in the city."
The dudes arrive to perform and they house 20 of them in ONE tent? IN A ZOO? I'll patiently await the hue and cry from the usual suspects. But won't hole my breath because pygmies don't vote for American politicians, don't buy rock star recordings, and are afraid to be around Michael Moore because of his infamously prodigious appetite.
