Dont call it a toy!
Cue hours of amusement for the kiddos!
This particular monkey is slightly different from your typical plaything, however.
A scene from ‘The Monkey’NEON
Once he starts playing, a feeling of unspeakable dread permeates the room.
Once he stops playing, shit gets crazy.
People get impaled, electrocuted, blown up real good.
Guns have a way of going off at inconvenient moments.
Youre reminded that human beings are extremely flammable.
Heads will roll, usually right off the bodies they were attached to only seconds ago.
The shops owner isnt sure why this customer is so keen on unloading it.
The monkey springs into action.
Someone is then shot with a harpoon, only to have their guts pulled like taffy from the wound.
A flamethrower gets trotted out.Whoosh.This monkeys gone to heaven, or maybe that other, warmer place.
Dad has been M.I.A.
So they scour his stuff for clues as to who this man really was.
They come across a hat box labeled Organ Grinder Monkey: Like Life.
Shouldnt that belifelike?, they wonder.
The monkey, Bill notes, doesnt take requests.
The random cruelty is the point.
Deserves got nothing to do with it, just like life.
The box got it right the first time.
Wind it up and have fun!
ButThe Monkeyis not trying to pass on life lessons.
with a lot of OMG moments.
You may love it or hate it.
