Charlie muses on High School musical.

Charlie is the head zoo security guy (for those who forget him a reminder) and when we return to zoo from the pub we apes always pop in the security office for a chat, a cup of pg tips tea, and just maybe an after pub banana before we return to the monkey house.

camp Lucas Grabeel in one of his many hats.

A couple of days ago we started get Miley Cyrus nude spam’s, which the hosts involved were firewalled (we monkeys love iptables on linux) and know she is not a imap mail server but some male human erection magnet for preteens because of an unseen disney film..

So we told Charlie about these, and then he said to us High school musical (that’s the disney film imdb: tt0475293) was on tv tonight in an few minutes time which had the no clothes wearing Miss Cyrus (not an imap server) in. Charlie and his crack team of security staff then all made sure they would be in to see it on the communal tv set.  A banana was handed to myself so i decided to stay as well to see what the fuss is about..

The film is about an american high school where apparently admitting you like cooking, playing a musical instrument, or liking maths is something like being gay, The cast of stereotypes including the very camp Lucas Grabeel all come-out in a big song and dance number, while our misfit heros overcome great odds to sing together with their clothes on.  I was most disappointed with that.

British version of high school grange hill - not camp.

Theres a point to this as the american school was perfect, with not a spot of graffiti, or signs of Balitmore (this blog) anywhere to be seen and after the last camp scene (it involves biscuits) Charlie and his team said it’s not like a bog standard comprehensive school like Grange Hill (wiki) which it seems Charlie went to.

I asked why and got the response it was too clean, too nice and beyond reality as even we know human children are beastly to each other.

Alas we never saw a no clothes wearing Miley Cyrus.  It’s odd that a sugar and sweet tale of humans is so loved by people when it appears is nothing like the reality they know.

We however thanked Charlie for the post pub banana and got a better understanding of humanity in return.  More serous posts will return when i finish reading some books which means returning to to the monkey house .

Humans.

cbs and the riaa trying to kill last.fm

Last.fm is web radio, who cbs an american corp bought.  What you may or may not know is that an application on windows tracks all your media (see a problem yet?) so this means lots of data which is uploaded to last.fm [privacy?]

Last.fm is a london,england based outfit and so should really be under the control the evil ifpi, not the american bit which is the riaa and famous for suing music fans with bad data.

The story is here, the moral is don’t run microsoft windows, or trust americans (even if you are an non american citizen) for your privacy.

So Cbs the American broadcaster wishes to destroy there investment in web radio in last.fm, thats ok with me, but the shareholders of cbs might be a bit angry since thats rather a waste of money.

tame and spying on you

It is interesting to note that popular music once a benchmark for american freedom means just the opposite of it today, that goodness those commies in Russia lost the cold war, but lets not mention china.

As to the privacy abuse make up your own mind.

Plenty of issues here i think for all.

Madness in retail

Bananas in the Falklands was instructed to buy paper for the computer printer which the monkey house had run out of the stuff completely (using both sides). Our usual supplier had run so we ended up in a whsmith store at a London mainline station in the quest of a4 sized paper.

Bananas finds there stock, there own brand and that rather famous printer maker ‘hp’* in on offer. It’s ‘paper’ so the own brand is plain fine after all its standard as only standard can be. However being bananas means I am interested in what is so ’special’ about this computer paper that is also ’standard’ and of the same spec.

One thing is the hp paper apparently maintains colour ‘better’ – not a selling point for us but something interesting. Sounds like 100% bull excrement but okay sounds interesting sales talk.

So being that it is standard paper and being curios we look at the price – and we find that the hp paper is actually cheaper than the shops own brand paper.

Oddly this surprises me, but the logic is insurmountable – i comment to the money taker that there logic is pure bonkers. That’s rather past the persons role but anyhow humans ’sigh’.

Personally we cannot see the difference, but being alert can tell you some strange tales.  The point being that with the bricks and mortar brand shops facing problems (virgin/woolworths/etc) or more precisely the retailers not paying there bills and so ceasing trading through that reason*.

Clearly when shop brand is more expensive than brand name then theres big problems in retail.

* not the sauce ** no pay, no new stock, Virgin recoords is an evil enterprise essentially a front for the music mafia of the ifpi,riaa and other criminal monopolists (this is an old rant).

Rollerball

I liked this Class this a sport that would appeal to me.

Sarah Palin is not welcome at the zoo

Sarah Palin, shooter of Polar Bears

Observers of Bananas in the Falklands will notice that the monkey house where not Hillary Clinton fans, why well the ‘N’ word this had nothing to do with her. Nepotism is bad in politics, be it wife’s,daughters,sons and just take a look around the world, does India need a ‘Gandi’ branded surname/link to run it ? is nobody else qualified – it reminds me of a book called Empiryo where professions take the surname of people – sound a similarity?

Ms Palin is pro hunting and being pro guns mean bad news for both humans and zoo inhabited residents. Her stance on some well known issues well means you might as well vote catholic. Its such a shame that she is a zombie on the issue.

Charlie our top zoo security guard and maker of tea is on the lookup for Mrs Rambo, the Polar bears here at the zoo are concerned being she is ‘Alaskan’ and so probably hates them more than us monkeys but that’s karma for you.

Somehow the republicans got hijacked into pro catholic, gun lovers where it seems rape by catholic priest is not a crime. Mind you being a bear just got exciting.

So who is this unknown ?, is her job (that is if she gets it) choosen on merit, or because she was a woman* ? Lets hope she is better at sex than Monica was after all there’s got to be a few perks to being president ?

update: rather witty

see Sarah Palin pictures

Sally offers free iphone help for Lee5279xx

Sally (pictured right) would like to offer ‘Lee5279xx’ some help. The story is about this it is an authorised i-phone app that does well nothing. It costed $ 1000 usd and rather proves everything you need to know about iphone owners

Sally spoke about 3g iphones here (my blog). She is disappointed that lee did not come to Sally for advice but that’s humans for you.

The ‘App’ By Armin Heinrich displays a red image. I mean that’s so cool right ‘?

However lee and Armin got scammed by Apple as 33% of the sale price was taken by Apple being an official thing or something.

Humans.

So lee come by the zoo and have a chat with Sally, bring a $1000 banana please !

Insult to injury

How dare they, yes we do know that your average human that appears on tv and big brother is mentally retarded, but how dare they insult the future rulers of planet earth.  Charlton Heston knew it.

Humans in a zoo – might be entertaining after all.  There’s hope for humans after all.

Canada get pwned by the Americans (mpaa,riaa)

I love super hero movies don’t you.

Losing its wit in the middle of the ocean, and other tales.

The Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy was written by a quite funny Englishman who probably died from laughing, and even I bananas in the falklands think (the book) has a subtle wit.

It is not a classic and you just know when it gets made for other formats that it was not designed for the things going to end in tears before bedtime – (or no bananas for bubbles).

So where on radio, and the book excelled, the visual media fucked up big time for in the film which got a showing in late December on television (not long after its release) shows just how far south the script went on switching from book to film.

While the english have a humour totally alien to most, setting it bang middle in the atlantic ocean meant that most of the jokes got lost in the process to make it ‘commercial’.

While spaceships and special effects can be cool, the studio failed to understand that the ‘cult’ thing in Hitchhikers is not the spaceships, or even the odd aliens but the the humour and its take on things say religion and all the other ideas ripe for potshots at.

When (like poor old Philip Pullman) the script loses the essence of the book [not to offend catholics] then its highly likely that no more will be made into film.

So who might make a better version than the Americans ? Well the Spanish handled things well in ‘Pans labyrinth’ and considering there mostly catholics you begin to wonder for if they can discuss the themes in Pan, you wonder just how better a Spanish made hg2tg or the Northern lights (the golden compass to some) might have been.

So go read the book.

Bananas rates Hitchhikers the film 1/5 bananas, and Pans labyrinth (also a film) 5/5 bananas.

Maths not required for tv employees

In this (bbc) several retard figures of hate for Bananas are rejoined together.  Makes you wonder about the tv industry, and the two tv stars who accumulated fines to the the value £ 5.68 million pounds sterling for there employer for the rekcus affair (my blog thats $ 11 million usd)

And bland ‘Mr Williams’ makes an appearance.

I wonder if in light of the no profit aspect that these retards will be dropped from commercial tv.  Somehow i doubt it even though they had a link to the corrupt production company.

Well since nobody can add up in the television industry even with the help of a computer im sure these ‘highly profitable’ presenters will be gracing our tv’s very soon.
