Happens all the time at C Street.

I know just how she feels :(

Well, it seems they're european. Therefore shameless and godless. Good Christian American monkeys would never be doing that.

What John at #3 said.

Well...at least it doesn't show them shitting all over the car, which is what most of them do. :(

You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals... Still one of the funniest most twisted music videos ever

At least they seem to have all their hands and feet.

Well, hang on - God made them, right? And they don't have free will or original sin, so they're dong exactly what God wanted them to do, right? So this should be straight up Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom fare, shouldn't it, suitable for Sunday school viewing? I mean, it's not like we're animals, or related to them, or anything like that. Right? Right?

Ah hell, why bother? Who was it said something about "If logic could convince the religious, they wouldn't be religious"?

There's something... Green Eggs and Ham about this.

I haven't seen this much public Republican action in Washington D.C. since, well, ever!

Do you think they're members of The Family?

I remember when I was young enough to go that long.

What language were the humans speaking? It doesn't sound like any European tongue. As for the other primates, whatever they lacked in connection they made up in nonchalance.

Lordy, Lordy... Monkey-whores!

It completely took me out of the "main attraction" when one of the women in the car started laughing nervously, sounding exactly like a chimpanzee. I spent the rest of the video just thinking about how little difference there really is between the non-linguistic vocalizations of the different ape species.

She was asking for it!!!!

Jefrir @ 32: "The people were speaking a slavic language of some sort I think. Could be Russian, but I didn't hear enough to be sure."

No, not Russian and not Serbo-Croat either (the two slavic languages I occasionally butcher). Maybe Polish, as deisidaimon says in #36.

Pretty funny video!

Coitus interruptus?

Yes, monkeys fucking IS funny. Thank you, PZ, this makes me feel better.

Alyson Miers @ 43;

'Yes, monkeys f***ing IS funny.'

'Tis true, but before we laugh too hard at our simian relatives we should bear in mind that, to a truly objective observer (say an alien species for convenience) the sexual practices of other species of ape would probably be equally funny. Like say, I don't know . . . humans?

Just imagine if all alien xenobiologists had to gone on regarding human reproductive rituals was the porn we keep transmitting all over the place?

That might complicate first contact a little. Assuming that they still thought contact with a species of psychotic, nymphomaniac apes with delusions of intelligence was a good idea, of course.

And all the while all the UFO conspiracy theorists were worried about them probing us!

This reminds me of a film we saw on campus at New Mexico Tech. The films were always quite a party atmosphere, and the movie was pretty unmemorable, but one line from the audience was. A couple in the movie had just finished having sex, and the guy was sort of awkwardly getting up. Someone in the audience blurted out loudly: "Uhm, , , Uhm.... I gotta go...."

Cracked the whole place up.

They would still be trying to fix their "broken" AI that was telling them that there was no information content in the vocalizations.

That should be 'had to go on' in my last post, not 'had to gone on'.

Traveler @ 49;

'They would still be trying to fix their "broken" AI that was telling them that there was no information content in the vocalizations.'

I hadn't thought of that. They would doubtless assume that such a transmission would have to be of intelligent origin and so would parse the whole thing for some kind of hidden message or obscure code.

I can just imagine a conversation between two alien computer techs now;

Boran; 'We've got another one of those weird human signals coming in. Damn AI better be up and running again.'

Falgnorg; 'I'm telling you, the AI's not broken. It says that there is no significant data content in these things. It is just disgusting images of the bipedal bodies of these apes. Damn but they're ugly. The females don't even have any nice mucous slicked tentacles or anything.

Boran; 'You know Falgnorg, your tentacle obsession is creeping me out. You're a real pevert.'

Falgnorg; 'I am not a pevert! What is so wrong with a bloke having a well developed appreciation for a good set of tentacles? Like that intern in administration. Just look at the cluster on her!

Boran; 'You've already been reported to the equal opportunities rep once this month, Falgnorg. Your going to get yourself fired at this rate.'

Falgnorg; 'Spoilsport. Wait a second, the AI has completed another analysis of the images, it says. Oh Cthulhu! It says that these are images of humans mating.'

Boran; 'Hold on. Are you telling me that they actually have sex like that? That's disgusting!'

Falgnorg; 'Actually, if you give it a chance it can be quite compelling. Almost hypnotic.'

Boran; 'Dude, there is something seriously wrong with you. We have to report this to the boss.'

Falgnorg; 'Wait a second. I want to see how this ends.'

Boran; 'And you are surpirised that you are still single because?'
