The World Health Organisation has received many suggestions from helpful Australians in its campaign to find a new name for the latest scourge-Monkeypox . WHO spokesman Ned Tarzan explained that Monkeypox is a repulsive moniker , which could ruin the massive made in China pet monkey toy industry if not quickly changed.
Parents would not buy toy monkeys for their children if Monkeypox kept grabbing the headlines, frightening the community .
This , he added, would almost certainly result in the Chinese turning more South China Sea sandbanks into large island military bases , built up with dumped , unwanted and orphaned monks.
Therefore, a more PC name , not including Monkey , was urgently required . Tarzan revealed that numerous new suggestions for a replacement nomenclature had been received from Australians keen to improve the image of sick simians .
These include : Coalition Canker , ScoMo Clap , Billy Bombax Disease , National Hillbilly Hives, Dutton's Dimples , Barcoo Rot , Barnaby's Blather, Hanson's Disease , Putin's Putrid Puss and Myanmar Mutation.
