With the help of two gorillas.
As usual the gorillas provided the muscle, the chicken just egged them on.
I say, throw the bok at them!
They weren’t real chickens and gorillas. What a misleading story! I cry fowl on this one.
When you think about it, aren’t we all wearing a chicken or a gorilla suit, stealing bicycles?
But you can’t hold a whole zoo responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole Zoological Park system? And if the whole Zoological Park system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Annie - isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!
Me too. I’m very apeset about the deception.
The next time three goons punch you in the head and steal your property be sure and post to tell folks just how lovely the experience was.
WTF is wrong with people?
Walks reverently out of the thread humming patriotically
Maybe Annie’s waiting to get hit on by the gorilla her dreams.
Don’t go all apechick on us here.
Simply put, surrealism trumps vicitimization. If I were mugged in this fashion I would definitely be laughing, if through the tears.
Don’t quit your day job.
I find nothing funny or lovely or even surreal about the situation, and I call bullshit on you finding a blow to head that is integral to a strong arm robbery to be funny.
So don’t laugh, then, and move on. Some folks are better able to find humor in situations than others. It doesn’t mean they think horrible things are funny, it just means they can see the funny. Humor is very personal; just because you don’t get someone else’s doesn’t mean they’re faking it or somehow bullshitting you.
We will all agree that violent crime is bad.
Only some of us will agree that being mugged by a guy in an ape suit, let alone a CHICKEN suit, is hillarious.
It’s pretty clear from the article the reporter is seeing the humor in the situation.
How about you move on?
Some folks have the worst sense of humor in the world. They think everything is funny.
If humor is very personal, then your statement that some folks are better able to find humor is nonsense. If I don’t find something funny it must not be, right? Because it’s all personal and all?
Folks lacking in empathy, perhaps.
Well then I respectfully retract my position. The reporter must not be questioned, what with him being the final authority. And shit.
Lighten up, Francis.
Move along with **Inigo **and have a beer on me. Talk about chicks or something.
I’d love to have a beer with silenus, but I’d MUCH rather talk about chickens and gorillas mugging people, and you’re in here taking this massive shit.
I made one comment, which I have since only posted to defend. If you don’t want to hear it, why don’t you just shut up about it?
Can’t.
- This is where I kiss you on the nose for heightened comedic effect *
Hey, Inigo! Did you hear about the chick that jacked this dude’s bike?
Yes, I think I heard something about that.
(Is this where we pour beer on Contrapuntal?)
