Monkey On A Minibike
>> Wednesday, May 6, 2009
Remember how guilty you felt watching Slumdog Millionaire, thinking "Man, those poor third world kids swim in poo puddles and get their eyes spooned out, and my childhood was mostly Nickelodeon shows and Icee headaches ." Then, at the end, the movie absolved you of all guilt as you realized, "I get it! If those kids weren't tortured, abused, starved, and prostituted, they wouldn't have learned how to win big on a game show. Now I feel better."
This video of a monkey riding a mini bike on the mean streets of Indonesia is a combination of the feel-good and feel-guilty parts of exploitative, third-world-based cinema. We honestly don't know how to feel about this monkey. We can only hope that YouTube has set up a college fund for the little fella.
