A group of hardworking monkeys, known for their tendency to work around the clock, began a strike against their employer earlier this week. Bobo Baggins, spokesperson for the strike, told us that it would be permanent unless all demands were met. He may look happy in the picture, however, he assured us that he is dying a little on the inside everyday he goes to work. "Look, we work around the clock and it's quite tiring," said Bobo. "They don't let us give any creative input at work, we are only allowed to write what we are told or else we get teh whip. I can't believe people actually watch this garbage. When a show has low ratings, we get blamed for it! Let's blame it on the monkeys again! Why should we put up with this?" Bobo told us as he lit a cigarette.
"We want more god damn bananas too, is that too difficult? Christ, I love bananas, and so do my fellow workers. It's not just stereotype, it's for real," Bobo pleaded. "Our working conditions are definitely not desirable either. We have to work in office cubes, or as monkeys call them, people farms. How about a tree or two for us? We would probably be more productive when able to work in a habitat that we are used to. Also, what happened to the monkey prostitutes that we used to get on the 1st of the month?" Bobo frowned as he took another deep drag in his cigarette.
While these demands may see quite unrealistic, these monkeys deserve better working conditions because they make up for the incompetency of humans at Fox Broadcasting. The monkeys are quite worried that Fox will call their bluff and begin to outsource to other monkeys around the globe. Or they might just get teh whip. We recommended to them to work for PBS instead; their benefits package for monkeys is highly respected in the monkey community.
