Elevating The Discourse One Video At A Time: The Friday Nooner (EST)!
Awesome Video Of The DayThese Times We Live In
Yesterday somebody accused me of posting "surprisingly high-brow" videos this week. I'm not particularly offended by that remark, but I think I need to explain myself.
We live in tumultuous times. We've got a war going on in Iraq that is killing innocent people, global warming is threatening to eradicate us all and the gap between rich and poor grows wider every single day. Globalization is forcing manufacturing into increasingly-polluted third world countries, where cheap child labor is plentiful and unreglulated. The rainforests will be gone soon. Also, what ever happened with that hole in the ozone? Did that work itself out or what?
That being said, don't attack me for posting videos that are "high-brow." In these days of uncertainty, I think it's important that we elevate the level of discourse. I know this is a humor website, but why should that mean that we can't open up a dialogue about what's happening in the world around us? It's a conversation we should have started a long time ago, but it's not too late, people. It's never too late. Remember that.
I saw this happen in person with an orangutan at the San Diego Zoo many years ago, so it is not an isolated behavior.
ReplyGuy who says he wishes he could do this...dude...that's sick.
Wow! Thank you! I always wanted to write in my site something like that.
ReplyFirst, this is the most awesome video ever! Wish I could do that!
ReplySecond, this reminds me of the scene from M*A*S*H (the movie, not the lame TV show) where a guy is in a complete body cast and every once in a while a nurse comes by and takes his full urine collection bottle and attaches it to his IV and takes the empty IV bottle and attaches it to his urinary catheter.
Good times.........
"Zoos should be fired. They’re like animal prisons we take our kids to."
ReplyAre you that stupid? Let me explain. Zoos are more of a homeless shelter for animals because either 1) they are not able to survive in the wild because they have a deformity or sickness and 2) their mama's were hurt by meany poachers. So taking your kids to these zoos is what helps to pay for the costs of keeping the animals healthy and safe. Have you ever seen an animal that was sick in a zoo and was not getting constant medical treatment? I didn't think so. Oh and you're also notedly a douchebag for having said "Zoos should be fired" idiot... "fired"??!!??!!
Asking why the orang learned to do that is like asking why a dog learned to lick itself, cause it fucking can.
ReplyThat isn't a monkey; it's an ape. You should have learned the difference between monkeys and apes when you were nine.
ReplyThat's not O.K.?
Replyi think that this video should be deleted off of youtube! its so disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!! ew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyI'm actually wondering if the ape could do that forever or whether it would have to sweat some of it out eventually...
ReplyIt is horrifying to think some depraved human taught the ape to do this in order to amuse idiots.
ReplyI'm guessing that orang otans name is Ghandi
ReplyThat was nice. the monkey just needs some more water in his system...he'd be a fountain...sit there all day...
ReplyI think the question is not WHY the monkey would learn to do that, but WHERE?
ReplyIsnt this the mockup for a perpetuum mobile?
ReplyHe does it cause it's sterile and he likes the taste.
ReplyBut really, are many things more wonderful than that video?
1 monkey -0 cups
ReplyWith kerosene of course. Mmm, grilled hippo steaks.

OH SHI- IT'S A LION, GET BACK IN THE CAR.

ReplyHow do you fire a place?
You're right Ross, and I apologise - that's what I get for dismissing conventional wisdom. In this case, curiosity not only killed the cat, but skinned it, went out and bought some surgical lubricant, and worked through some obviously-complicated childhood issues.
ReplyI apologize, I'll try to post my comments before I start drinking from now on.
