This just in from our African Puppet Desk—Viewers in Angola were shocked yesterday when a popular chat show host allowed a lusty puppet to hump his face on live television (see 1:35). The host has played down the incident saying "it was consensual and the puppet was above the age of consent". But Angola's Minister for Marionettes released a strong statement today, saying "this is sending the wrong message to our children." The puppet could not be reached for comment.
