Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Just in case you were starting to get in the holiday spirit and thinking all charitably of your fellow human beings, allow me to disabuse you of those positive thoughts.
Pictured above is Pony, an orangutan that was recently taken from a village in Borneo where she was shaved every other day, chained to a wall, and used as a sex slave. Which means that, at some point in the last year or so when you were, say, eating dinner, or reading a book, or playing "teh Haloz", somewhere, deep in Indonesia, a man had handed someone an undisclosed amount of money and was, at that moment, humping an orangutan. I'll give that a moment to sink in.
So, so very not right.
But, but ... how can you object to raping orangutans when there are still women's colleges and it's OK to call men "dicks"? The hypocrisy!

Clearly she wanted it. Yet another feminist conspiracy story.
Posted by: bitchphd at November 20, 2007 11:42 AMMaybe I'm just not thinking it through properly, but it seems to me that it would take a really long time to shave an entire orangutan.

Posted by: froz gobo at November 20, 2007 12:03 PMThis story sort of lends a new bit of nuance to "...and a pony!"
Posted by: Clownęsthesiologist at November 20, 2007 12:08 PMThis is a hoax. I wonder what the phenomenon is called when the more outrageous the lie the more it is believed? The Monkey in question is in a zoo in Ireland and is shaved because she had a bad case of Mange.
Posted by: Joe at November 20, 2007 12:30 PM#7, did you see the linked video in the article? Here it is. Pony is at 12:47. She ain't in Ireland.
Posted by: Gaijin Biker at November 20, 2007 12:52 PMYes, you know, there's probably video of Robocop on YouTube too, but he still doesn't exist. Let me know when someone has some video on an actual recognised news site.

Oh, you're certainly one to talk...

Ook. Ook! OOK!
Posted by: The Librarian at November 21, 2007 05:15 AMYou know, if it makes you feel any better, orangutans are the only great apes known to have raped humans.
No, it doesn't make me feel any better either...
