Missed it too. Delete? just cause someone posted a blog, you now what to delete what you thought was an interesting article? grow a pair HERE, this is newsworthy: this was in the nypost the next day story: here. Yeah, when I first heard of that cartoon I thought it was just some over-sensitive people whining. I figured, they're probably just very insecure since George Bush got compared to an ape his entire presidency: his resemblance to a chimp was the butt of many jokes and picture series. But then I saw the strip, and it's just not funny. Other than that the chimp was a big news item, it has nothing at all to do with Obama, hardly represents anything important, it's just a chimp. That and the conservative source of this cartoon leads me to believe that this probably did have some kind of racist motive or that Rupert Murdoch hires talentless fucks. I think the success of Fox news pretty much rules out the latter though.
here are the reasons people thought it was racist:
a) this was the page opposite the cartoon that associated obama with the bill

b) these are some of his previous cartoons

Looks like the chimp was born to be wild.
[spoiler]anyone remember that movie? :D]/spoiler]

wow, poor woman for some reason I find the puns in here fucked up unlike the Rihanna thread.
Really isn't funny, the woman lost her fucking face.

I am so so so sorry for this poor woman who had to go through this ordeal and her friend that suffered horrendous injuries. I heard the call and I could hear the chimp going nuts in the background. That is one disturbed animal. Chances are he probably didn't recognise the woman who stepped out of the car. The excitement she showed for her friend may have been mistaken for a malicious move and the chimp attacked to protect HIS friend (the owner).
It's a simple matter of miscommunication. This is why animals belong in the wild. We are not physically powerful enough to control them. Without our brains we would have been extinct long time ago.

i want to give her a chimp doll while she's recovering
|
wow that call was fucking crazy.
i hope the lady ends up being okay, that's some crazy shit though.

lmao. I heard about this from Jay Leno. That's pretty crazy, but the chimpanzee has gone berserk before.

That lady's skin is now every which way but loose.

Lol i heard about this in class yesterday when a the sub told our class
Ehh I think TL has a lot more potential with criticism on political shit than many other communities so I don't really mind people posting useless retarded news.
|
I fucking hate monkeys, I really do.
|
"Paramedics noted she lost her nose, eyes and jaw in the attack."
Oh my god, literally her entire face was ripped apart. Jaw and eyes lost... wow :/
|
1. those going ape and going bananas jokes are sweet
2. that was a disturbing call
|
Freaking monkeys are so strong. Rip a person's face out? Yeah, I'm keeping my distance...

Reminds me of the Man vs Beast clip with the sumo wrestler against the orangutan? Reminded me of that.

I kept expecting the operator to say "TSSSSST!!"

if it weren't nytimes, i would call this load of bs. how the hell you get a chimpanzee as a pet? your a cop; how the fuck you let a monkey get into your car? this story is outrageous.
