About two weeks ago, IHateTheMedia.com’s Administrator emailed a funny commercial over to IHTM’s Editor, who promptly ignored it. (For god’s sake, man, the guy sends me 50 emails a day. I can’t pay attention to all of them.)
Now, much to the Editor’s chagrin, he saw the same commercial over at The Big Feed and found out it really was hilarious.
That being said, the Editor would like to thank The Big Feed and apologize to the Administrator.
So enough with the thanks and the apologies. Here’s the story on the commercial: Dodge used a monkey in the to advertise its annual Tent Event. PETA complained, so Dodge re-cut the commercial to address the leftist lunatics’ concerns. Here’s the original version:
And here’s the even funnier re-cut version:

and you're all a bunch of Racist for comparing Obama to this Monkey and saying he's 'disappearing' all the time! Can't a man take 6 or so vacations a year in peace? Play golf, go surfing, eat shrimp ... destroy the Constitution without you calling him a disappearing monkey?!?
Darn --- you spotted those invisible words we used. ;-)
i love M.C. hall, that dude would make a friggin awesome riddler
on topic though, the request itself is whats funny, because it pretty much tells you all you need to know
peta asked for the monkey to be removed
they removed the monkey, literally. alot of people are taking this as dodge trying to appeal to peta while keeping the ad intact, but when you read more about the story, they clearly make a tongue in cheek apology
Good to see our government's investment in Chrysler is paying off .... that's one monkey that *has* a job!
So THAT'S why the commercial changed. I had noted the chage and wondered why they thought this was an improvement. PETA doesn't seem to grasp that it is the identical same commercial, with sort of photoshopping erasing the monkey. How does that improve the lot of monkey's anywhere! I agree with not being cruel to animals, but seriously?
This explains Joe Biden's latest speech about the economy - he said the unemployment rate for invisible monkeys ticked lower in July, proving the stimulus is working. Meanwhile, the Invisible Monkey Union has filed a lawsuit, claiming that it's really an invisible gecko PLAYING an invisible monkey, which is against union rules.
They should have had a disclaimer at the end that said: "No animals were harmed in the making of this commercial because invisible monkeys do not exist."
Thanks Joe - that explains how we can all see Joe Biden ...
This was on O'Reilly two or three weeks ago, he thought it was stupid that they acquiesce to PETA a reader sent a letter that this was meant as a joke on PETA for their ridiculous statements. I am sure that the monkey was in no way harmed. PETA may have started with good intentions but they went crazy and it is out of control.
You mean they went ape?? '-)
Note to Editor: Fecal matter just occurs sometimes. ;-)
The director's cut has him jumping into a wood chipper...
how is making a monkey push a detonation box un'ethical'?
