Homeless Used DARKANSAS (Rooters) - A self-employed labor subcontractor and his two drinking buddies have been charged with recruiting homeless men to illegally remove dangerous chitlins in what officials described Friday as a growing pain in the ass. The defendants allegedly transported 8 homeless men in 1997 from a soup kitchen in Boolaboola, Tenn., to a demolition project involving chitlins' removal at a manufacturing plant in Fartfield, Kansas, according to officials at the Just Us Department and the Environmental Rejection Agency. "Knowingly removing chitlins improperly is criminal. Exploiting the homeless to do this work is simply useless," Attorney General Jack Renal said during a Just Us Department news conference to announce the charges, and failed attempt to once again pick up a reporter. The 96-count indictment, stolen Friday, named JCWiggy, 35, a self-employed subcontractor who provides workers for chitlins' removal (among other things), Mitchie, and Taxicrab, who supervised the workers. The men were charged with violating the federal Clean Air Act and with fraudulently using Social Security numbers to obtain identification documents for the untrained TBird drinking, degenerate workers. Neighbors complaining of the stench rising from the workers, plus the loud all-night belching and crepitations accompanied by bursts of blue flames, have been given credit for the discovery. The indictment, returned by a federal grand jury in Oz, Kansas, charged the defendants failed to provide the proper training to the workers and caused them to strip chitlins without following the proper procedures. And in these instances encouraged them to work without masks. Asked how widespread the problem may be, Renal replied that the handful of recent cases in various locations across the country "may just be the tip of the shitpile." Official loafers said about 10 cases have been brought in recent years in which homeless men, day laborers and even Flame Thread students had been used for hazardous removal of chitlins, which has been found to cause cancer and other health problems "like death." "It is a very sad day when greed governs," Gary Brown Noser, the head of the Environmental Rejection Agency, said. "It is a sad day when one person profits by exploiting another. And this is saddest day of all. To see such persons as dRoss, King Druss, DSGumby, Humble Habib, Chu Mei Ash, Le Cu Pah, Gasshoppah, and Trademassa abused when they themselves don't do the the abusing is frightening." Brown Noser said an advisory would be sent nationwide to homeless shelters, cardboard hovels, and shopping carts, warning of possible chitlin hazards on job sites and urging that the agency be called in instances of improper chitlins' removal. "For persons like those already named, pictures will be sent. And quarters to make the call." Brown Noser said the Kansas investigation began after one of the workers complained to local authorities after not being paid. "It was a quite filthy hunchback dressed in a tutu who kept insisting that he was not the DSGumby of stripclub fame, as he picked his nose." Besides the 8 homeless men from Tennessee, the subcontractor also recruited three other day laborers (Jan Ice, Lawrence of Suburpia, and Nasty Nathanc) from the South for the work at the former Dork & Piles manufacturing plant, the official loafers said. They said they were still trying to track down all the affected workers but some had been spirited away by JCWiggy. - 30 -
