The REAL "Funky Monkey"
As you know, I've spent a lot of time on this blog (and in my life) talking about monkeys with the ability to lead corporations or fight crime. Sometimes both (like here, and here). Animal movie classics like "The Barefoot Executive" and "MXP: Most Xtreme Primate" show us that humans aren't the only ones who can lead miserable lives of quiet desperation in a corporate office, or xcell at Xtreme! sports (I think there should always be an !). In fact "The Barefoot Executive" will now be seen as not just a monkey classic (and one of the first steps of the Primate Rights Revolution which I predict for the next decade, which will give way to the violent ape uprising and ultimately the Planet of the Apes), but a chillingly prophetic tale predicting the state of the presidency today, and to a lesser extent, extreme sports.
Some more modern films focus on when monkeys ask not what their country can do for them but what they can do for their country like "Spymate", in which the government uses their best kept weapon - a clever primate - to save the world from the domination of a megalomaniac evil scientist; and the growing world of environmentalist ninja monkeys like "Funky Monkey", about a "high tech super chimp" who's a sex machine to all the chicks who goes up against an evil animal testing facility and helps a young boy genius find love. Did I mention Funky Monkey is also a super-Ninja secret agent football star, or something?
But while I knew in my heart that we would someday, as a people, be at the point where monkeys really did work amung us in the office, or really did save the world, I also knew that we were not there yet. Monkeys were not there yet, though "Monkey News" shows us that they've certainly been working on it.
Ladies and gentleman, that day has arrived.
Witness the real life "Funky Monkey"
