On Free Mumia

I must apologize, because today I’m gonna use the forum of T.J. Monkey’s for my own strictly personal reasons.  I do this knowingly, and I feel somewhat shameful about it, but I have become desperate and do not know where else to turn. Hopefully one of the millions of T.J. Monkey’s readers will be able to help me in my plight.  All I want to know is one thing:

Where’s the Mumia?

I’ve noticed throughout my daily travels, advertisements for Mumia are everywhere.  FREE MUMIA!!  It’s all over the place: spray-painted on the sides of roads, in the headlines of editorials, on the web, chanted by crowds of people.  It’s all a very effective advertising campaign for this Mumia.  I must admit my interest is piqued.  However, they have left out one essential ingredient in the advertising casserole and that is where and when they’re handing out this Mumia.

I am a college student.  If it is free, I will take it. Through the beauty of credit-card sign-ups, I haven’t paid for a tee-shirt in three years.  If they were handing out free rabid wolverines, I would take one and at least bring it back for my roommate.  I don’t know what Mumia is, but it is quite evidently free and I will take it.  The interest is there, I can assure you of that.  Ideally I would like to think that Mumia is some kind of tasty crescent roll/pudding combination, but at this point I honestly do not care.

Please, if any of you know where I can pick up my free Mumia, email me and bring me into the light.  I wouldn’t be so worked up about all of this, but every year I manage to miss out on all the free Tibet and I can’t allow this to happen anymore.
