  1. Gyges,

    In re Metallica.

    Yep. It’s all been downhill since “. . . And Justice For All”.

  3. BIL,

    Old Metallica is when they were angry. New Metallica is the crap they started spewing when somebody convinced them they could actually play their instruments.

  4. scribadiva,

    That’s just . . . odd. But I really want to know if the monkeys prefer old Metallica or new Metallica. Yes. There is a difference. Those are the kinds of questions that keep me up at night. That and the whole human condition thing.

  5. pardon me,

    That photo should be in the T-shirt contest for Turley regulars with the caption,

    “That’s evidence.” or

    “Who flung that poo?” or

    “I challenge your monkey brained denial!” or perhaps

    “Dude! She’s my MOM! Don’t talk that way!”

    That may end up as a wallpaper. Nice catch. 😀

  6. The more I look at that monkey’s expression, the more he looks like that Hannible Lector feller mentioned in a thread a few days ago.

  8. I think I saw this on Oberman, There was an experiment to check what kind of music would they react to? Not classical, vocals, etc. The only band they reacted to–Metallica. They actually calmed down when they listened to Metallica. Link below. or just go to Keith Oberman on MSNBC.
    This link is the only one I trust, besides going to Oberman. It’s on current:

  11. I must agree that the “sales” advertisement was an indictment of many large “profitable” corporations. My mother in-law once worked for a major corp. as an admin assistant and she once showed me a spread sheet that was used to track job costing for some project. The spread sheet said they were making money because the job was 3/4’s of the way complete because that was the payroll to that point. It did not matter that they still had 50% of the project left to do. Now how they were going to make money on that project was baffling, needless to say I don’t buy stock in that company although it is still around after about 20 years of “monkey” business.

  12. Well folks, the photo is clear to me, we are going to the dogs…A devolutionary fact follows.

    We have all seen those depictions of the evolutionary progressions of quadruped apes slowly evolving to bipedal man with his upright stance.

    The photo is evidence of the reverse; that is, de-evolution from the dark-skinned bipedal man in the background of the photo devolving back downward to the semi-bipedal ape (monkey) and then devolution down to the quadruped dog. Ergo, we have gone to the dogs.

  13. This is an example of what Rick Santorum was talking about. MR. Man On Dog Sex will likely use this photo to support his agenda. It’s unnatural: “Today Monkey on dog sex tomorrow….”.
    The slope is becoming slippery.

  16. And that’s a cute picture until you realize the monkey has the dog by the throat.

    It almost looks like a shakedown to me.

    “Tell me where the kibble is and I’ll let you go, see, muhyeah, yeah.”

  17. That commercial could have been filmed at the offices of any of America’s large telecommunications companies. I suspect at any corporation over a certain size.

    Without casting or re-casting.

    Today.

    Well, tomorrow as today is Sunday.

    I know. I’ve been to that meeting more times than I really wanted and they are hours of my life I wish I had back. 25 people in a room – only you and one other person knows what the Hell is really going on and you two get to spend the hour dodging flying monkey crap from a bunch of “stakeholders” that wouldn’t be able to find their own ass with an extra set of hands to help them.

    I do not think it’s apropos to Wall St. though. Pigs. Now that would have been Wall St. They don’t fling filth so much as just wallow in it.
