Your Monkey Called

Nothing much to do with monkeys, but a funny site anyway.

I wouldn’t want to meet that guy in a dark jungle alley…

Junk Monkeys? Grease Gibbons? This is an affront to monkeys and our gibbon cousins!

It’s a noble mission, but why bring innocent monkeys into it?

Graphic Designer David Airey feeds a monkey during his recent trip to India.

Unfortunately, while David was away in India some villainous rogue stole his domain name away from him, but thankfully the issue was swiftly resolved and all is well now.

Suddenly I feel hungry, and I’m considering a trip to meet my Indian cousins…

Yesterday’s Wright Stuff show featured the above topic for discussion. The panel agreed that there were some grey areas, but the intention and context of the person making that statement was crucial.

I asked my human PJ about this, and she felt that as a black person she would feel offended if someone called her a monkey, as she would feel that they were insulting her race. She acknowledged that in the past people may have referred to a naughty child as a “cheeky monkey”, but now people need to be more aware of the connotations of this “innocent” phrase.

And besides, no self-respecting monkey wants to be called a human.
