It does bear a striking resemblance.
if it walks like a duck... 🦍
Hey 10:08 , your right on target
For it to be offensive, those offended must believe the similarity as well. The case has been rested.
If the shoe fits wear it.
Exactly right 7:24.
What's next? Removing gorillas and monkeys from zoos?
Lets see....been there for two decades and only 45 complaints...hhmmm....I bet most of those complaints have come in the last year or so. Anyone else see the connection???
Why don't we just remove everything from our parks for I am sure someone somewhere is even offended by the shape of a water fountain!
Left wing snowflakes are always responsible for these incidents but what is actually offensive a gorilla or liberal snowflakes deciding it reminds them of black people ?
Wow I never thought about it but yeah actually I see it. sucks now I can't unsee it. Thank you to the mayor and his staff for opening my eyes to the stunning resemblance. #gorilla#awakening
Was anyone picketing the Planet Of The Apes movies when they were at the theaters in this town?
Stop monkekying AROUND
So they admit that it bears a resemblance.
10:23 those movies were imitating real life in the ghetto.
Can’t argue with the science of evolution.
Please bring this for exhibit at Jakes folk fest.Maybe council member Jackson can strike a pose with it before she has to get in a cage.
that looks just like a guy who "works" at rec and parks
