He don’t know no shame
He feels no pain
Our independent leisure contractor
Is to blame…

You missed the obvious one, methinks:

I think I’m sophisticated
'Cause I’m living my life
Like a good homo sapiens
But all around me
Everybody’s multiplying
And they’re walking round like flies, man
So I’m no better than the animals
Sitting in the cages in the zoo, man
'Cause compared to the flowers
And the birds and the trees
I am an apeman

I tend to support whoever is behind something that causes someone to write, “Have we completely lost our moral compass as a society??” because the answer is almost always, “No, of course not, Karen.” But histrionics aside, this does seem to be quite the error on the library’s part. Somebody’s probably having a good laugh at their expense right about now.

How on earth is this sort of thing allowed to happen?

Everyone knows that the monkey costume with a false bottom and strap-on is for road safety campaigns!

Well, count me in. I think it’s rather funny. And all the people getting their panties in a bunch are rather funny as well.
Art project succeeded.

I once saw a hilarious bunch of street performers with knitted ‘nude suits’. Complete with wool penises and big woolly bushes. This was in a very christian part of germany. The act was rather fun, but the reaction of the audience was even funnier.

That costume is definitely a new spin on the “Reading Rainbow” theme.

There was some kind of giant strawberry and a iguana involved too!

I think the forums need the < /sarcasm > tag turned on by default today.

I was at a pre-school event and they brought a Shriner clown. He was in his mid-sixties and proceeded to tell the kids all the wonderful things the Shriner’s hospital does. He then went into graphic detail about a young child who lost his limb in an automobile accident. I quickly mentioned to him there are 3 year-olds present and he quickly changed subject.

Ha, I read your comment after making the mistake of reading all the twitter comments from the link above.
Most of them seemed to actually believe some variation of that.

Well, it worked. . . it caused me to read the article.

Now if only they could put monkeys with fake dildos into “War and Peace” and “Finnegan’s Wake.”

If this were a company that produced toxic waste rather than a library I would wager that the Yes Men were involved.

Can we be absolutely certain there aren’t any in Finnegan’s? It can be pretty difficult to parse.
