Caught with bird droppings on his socks, Sony Dong was charged on Tuesday in California with smuggling exotic Asian songbirds from Vietnam by strapping them onto his legs. In December of 2008 Dong was flagged for abandoning 18 birds in a suitcase in LAX, this time around the inspected the 46 year old but luckily it didn’t take a thorough enema to find what Dong was packing.
Apparently these birds are worth about $400 each, but now they’ll get to live the rest of their lives in the comfortable confinement of a zoo. Ironic, isn’t it?

On another note, I’ll be DJ’ing at Brooklyn Botanica in Red Hook, Brooklyn tonight. If you can’t make it then I’ll also be DJ’ing in Williamsburg at Public Assembly on Saturday for True Womanhood’s Single Release Party with True Womanhood, Apollo Heights, Dinowalrus, Dead Leaf Echo, and Weird Owl. More info on that tomorrow.
