Public Service Announcement

This urgent PSA is brought to you by the fabulous flying monkey


Darfur.
Tibet.
China.
Haiti.
Anywhere Paris Hilton ends up in the public eye.

Human rights violations committed across the globe on a daily basis. Torture, pillaging, and horrible treatment. Heart-wrenching tragedies that compel humankind to take a stand. Many have led a call to action. And rightly so.

Unfortunately, others who have no voice are often overlooked. Little known species of my primate brethren are daily subjected to inhumane treatment at the hands of evil retail conglomerates. Inhospitable transportation conditions. Cramped quarters. Humiliating exploitation.
















Many Bothans* died to bring us this image.


Many of these rare and glorious flying monkeys (Primatus Airbornus) can be freed from Wal-Mart for less that $.25 a day.

Won't you help me help them?

Courtesy of Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki:
"Bothans were furry mammalian anthropoids, about 1.5 meters tall. Hailing from Bothawui and several colonies, Bothans differed in facial appearance and body structure with canine, feline, and equine features. They were known for being master politicians and spies, craving intrigue and subterfuge."

The following (from the same source) also suggests the Bothans may have been bloggers:
"You have to understand that Bothans think in terms of political and persuasive influence, not military power. The typical Bothan's goal is to go through life getting more and more people to listen to what he has to say."
