Ethics For the Love of God... Can't You Just Let this Poor Monkey Vomit in Peace?
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 11:15 AM
I get it, oh, I get it. It's a monkey. Vomiting onto a wall. But do you really have to laugh and take a picture of it? Then you're gonna run home and upload the photo to the internet, aren't you… which will do nothing but further humiliate this poor vomiting monkey. UNBELIEVABLE. And as for those commenters who are already furiously typing to sanctimoniously inform me that this is actually a "chimp" and not a "monkey"—WELL FUCK YOU. Any chimp who wears clothes—even those who choose to "Porky Pig" it—is a monkey in my book. Ditto for those wearing roller skates.
Now where was I? OH YEAH. At least that one dude with the messenger bag is doing the right thing by holding the monkey's hair back, and… hey! YOU CAN TOTALLY SEE THAT HIPSTER'S ASS CRACK! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA!!! What a fuckin' idiot!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAA!!! GOD, I LOVE THE INTERNET!
Hat tips to WOW!
