Looking after a monkey is the same as looking after an sn child.

[Mytwopenceworth]

According to some woman on channel 5 who has a pet monkey. I did this

This monkey has a very nice cage with a slide and everything.

i cried. its not often i do, usually it all washes off, but that someone could sit smiling and saying their pet monkey was the same as an sn (ovbiously i personalised it into MY) child, made my heart ache. also thinking of all the people out there who would have gone, oh yes, i bet it is the same.

a monkey. ffs. a ruddy monkey. what a world.

Write to C5 and complain.

OMG - that is ignorant and offensive beyond belief! It's amazing that someone would be given the time on air to spout such drivel.

I saw this thread title and felt sure it was a troll trying to wind everyone up. Sadly, not the case. Please try not to let it get to you MTPW - easily said, I know. I'm so sorry you (and others) must endure this sort of rubbish.

OMG. What an IDIOT. I thought this thread would be about an offensive comment made by a passing stranger, not someone given airtime to spout her ridiculous views.

If you've got the energy, I would write to Channel Five to complain, it might stop them using her again as a contributor.

what an utterly offesnive and absurd thing to say!

i really cannot put into words my disbelief that someone could be so bloody ignorant!

i agree that C5 should never have allowed such a comment to be broadcast..without her ful name and address!

I just read the thread title and felt like someone had punched me.

Shall a few MN-ers contact Channel 5 and ask them to let the woman know how offensive and ignorant her views are and ask C5 why they give air time to such nonsense, possibly setting up a very destructive notion in people's heads?

Can someone give the specific details of the programme - title, transmission date?

absolutly Blu. great idea.

does anyone know the details of the show?

fucking nutter
