I think there already is a monkey-fucking song somewhere. HIV in people didn't start with that. The most reasonable thing I heard was a blood exposure (cut or puncture wound) when somebody was butchering one for dinner. That's just a guess though. Also, fuckees are at a greater risk that fuckers, so if, in this Bosch-like vision of hell, the virus jumped to people from monkeys by sex, it would likely have been from somebody being fucked BY a monkey. Probably up the wazoo, no condom, and no dinner and drinks before.

I'd apologize for my rudeness, but I spent a significant amount of time in Public Health interviewing people who had sexually transmitted diseases about their experiences, and the Great Thread Gerbil has already clawed its way through this one. Plus, until Spaw comes back, somebody has to provide the disgusting element.

Martin, what's your definition of a 'box office bomb'?

After December 23–25, 2005, it was only in 13th place and grossed $1,910,310.00. This is down a bit from 8th place $2,508,494.00 the previous weekend, but that's not anywhere near being a bomb. The fact that it does seem to be being shown in far fewer cinemas and STILL making this much money is significant.
