All New Monkey News: 1

Wednesday, 22 January 2014

This is a new series. It's about as original as rockbusters so if anyone from RGS productions wants to play silly copyright games with me again this time I wont take it lying down. I was one of the loyal fans who made animations to accompany the original monkey news recordings. Only to receive copyright strikes on my YouTube channel because RGS had decided to get them animated by professionals. Let's not get bogged down in the legality of enforcing copyright claims against fair use of audible detritus.

For those uninitiated to the fantastic work Karl Pilkington blessed humanity with. Check out these copyright infringing search results on YouTube.

So, alright, this isn't new news but it happened. There was this group of monkeys knockin' about in America somewhere. I think it was New York. In the olden days. Not that old though. When everything was black and white. What they did was they set up this salon. You know for cutting hair and that. But it wasn't for Humans. They looked after these pets, right. People used to bring in their cats and pay the little chimp fella and they'd go "right, we'll see you in an hour." And they would give it a brush and a wash and stuff like to make it feel all relaxed and clean.

Business was going really well for them. Like profits were way up and everyone was recommending them to all their friends. Like when the pet is gettin' a bit stinky and depressed they'd take it to the chimp salon and then their pet would come back all happy and clean.

I don't know what they are up to now.

Anyway here is the footage.
