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

It's because the warriors were all women isn't it Jason?

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

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.
