The IKEA Monkey

Hey, remember the IKEA Monkey? It was found wandering around an IKEA parking lot wearing a fleece jacket. Well, apparently the monkey was confiscated by animal control, and the owner is fighting to try to get the illegal pet monkey back. Oh, but authorities claim the monkey is happy in a primate shelter, and it's even making friends with a big ape in the shelter.

Hey, wait a minute... I've seen this movie before! It's Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and this monkey will lead all the shelter apes into a revolt what will conquer mankind! Oh, the humanity! We're finished! Help, help! It's a big monkey mania and ape attack! Aaaaa!

Well, you know where this is leading: to Charlton Heston getting pushed around by apes in a madhouse. (Hey, maybe gun control activists are behind this? That will punish him in the future for his gun stuff. Which actually makes sense with the movie series, when you think about it.)

Here's the monkey business story:
