Political slogan misinterpreted.

Thousands of people showing up yesterday at Jack London Square hoping to be given "free mumia" were rather disapointed to learn that it was a rally in support of political prisoner Mumia abu Jamal, rather than an event in which the drug mumia, or mummy extract, would be given away. "Well, I thought that since they re-legalized absinthe, perhaps mummy would be next." said Jared Brightmore, on conditions of anonymity. "I really need some." He added. Many of the people offered to protest for Mumia's release if they were given some of the mummy drug, but the organizers said that they didn't have any, and weren't about to bribe people to protest for them anyways.
