AIBU to be offended by the lizard people on DR Who calling the humans "apes"?

If i see a big lizard person and it calls me an ape I will punch the fucker.I might have a hairy chest and be able to peel a banana with my feet but I am not a monkey.
I can do a good impresion of a pig (smell not noise) but that is as far as my animal acts go

monkey my arse

yanbu. I'ld start drafting your complaint letter now - bbc, daily mail, the queen, the news of the world...

PrettyCandles · 29/05/2010 21:10

No, you are not a monkey, that is true. Monkeys and apes are different species.

Jasonthunderpants · 29/05/2010 21:18

cornsilkcottagecheese · 29/05/2010 21:31

God yes. Did you see their complexion? They've clearly never heard of eve lom.

chegirlmonkeybutt · 29/05/2010 21:32

Monkeys are becoming a bit of theme on MNs. Or am I now just hypervigilant?

Only time will tell.

cornsilkcottagecheese · 29/05/2010 21:33

chegirlmonkeybutt we saw monkeys at the zoo today and apparently their arse inflates when they're ready to mate. Do you have the same talent?

chegirlmonkeybutt · 29/05/2010 21:43

Its been such a long time, I am not sure...

Jasonthunderpants · 29/05/2010 21:45

My arse inflates after a cheap curry from mucky alli's and a £2.00 bottle of wine fron Tesco's

cornsilkcottagecheese · 29/05/2010 21:52

Be careful near them monkeys at the zoo then

confuddledDOTcom · 29/05/2010 21:59

Hate to tell you this but we are apes.

Shaz10 · 29/05/2010 22:00

I wanted to know why they went after the humans when they could have gone after the actual apes.

cornsilkcottagecheese · 29/05/2010 22:05

because the actual apes weren't doing any harm?

confuddledDOTcom · 29/05/2010 22:33

We are actual apes! "Ape" is not an animal in it's own right.

cornsilkcottagecheese · 29/05/2010 22:45

go on then - tell us why

confuddledDOTcom · 29/05/2010 23:12

There are two types of primates - basically those with a tail are monkies and those without are apes. We are primates and most of us don't have tails.

othermother · 29/05/2010 23:35

My husband has a tail.

confuddledDOTcom · 29/05/2010 23:38

That's why I said most of us

TiggyD · 30/05/2010 09:34

othermother "My husband has a tail. " - Do you mean that thing at the front? That's not actually a tail. It's for...night-time things.
