Rudyard Kipling, in his famous and well known Jungle Book, introduced us to King Louie, King of the Apes, who wanted to get the fire from man in order to dominate and rule the jungle.
Walt Disney’s version pictured the scene adorably in a party-like atmosphere were dozens of little monkeys sang, danced and provided the necessary support for King Louie to persuade little Mowgli to give fire away to him. Lovely song indeed, and well-known enough to have been used as commercial jingle for different spots.
In a party-like environment too, Big Ape, King of Transpiration, as well wants to be like someone indeed, and tried to tease as well the audience.
A poor imitation. Indeed… Compassion prevents us to say anything else, but judge for yourself after you watch the following video, recorded more than 2 years ago, and NOT by a professional cameraman.
Apple did not need to give free tickets for youngsters pop idol’s concerts… nor hiring any histrionic music band…
We know that apes are capable of imitating human behaviour… but this is the first time we see a supposedly human being imitating an ape…
