Wikipedia Won't Take Down Macaque Selfie Because the Monkey Took It

Justin Bieber's Monkey Just Became German Forever
The Germans still have Bieber's monkey, OG Mally. They have Mally, even though it's obviously not cool to have your own infant Capuchin monkey anymore, and Bieber has since lost interest in the well-being (or existence) of Mally.
Ohio Animals Live on Via Twitter
The rogue, herpes-infected monkey who escaped from that exotic animal jail in Zanesville, Ohio—and subsequently ran from the sheriffs who shot up all its friends—was supposedly been eaten by one of the escaped big cats. "It looks like everything is taken care of," a conservationist told CNN. "There was one monkey…
Macaque Attacks Little Girl in Wal-Mart Parking Lot
Look at Charlie the macaque up there. Doesn't he look terrified? Confused? Distraught? He should be.

Monkey Menace Panders to McCain/Palin Crowd
The damned moneys. Despite the warnings, the hundreds and hundreds of warnings, everyone insists on treating these near-human masterminds of evil as being just like us!

Hollywood MonkeyWatch: One Monkey, So Many Questions
It's absolutely killing us that we're stuck here working when we could be over on the sidewalk outside that West Hollywood location shoot and figuring out what they needed that "one monkey" for. Is banking with Capital One so easy that a monkey can do it? (If so, expect an announcement in Monday's trades about…
Media Bubble: Putting the Jew in "Judith Regan"
Monkeyus Interruptus
Perhaps some of our Brit-sensitive readers can make sense of this ad for Monkey "magazine" — apparently an online lad mag that pushes the basement of quality even for that genre.
