Two Americans were arrested in Japan on Monday after breaking into the enclosure of the beloved Punch the monkey, the 9-month-old internet sensation, police said.

Police in the Tokyo suburb of Chiba detained Reid Jahnai Daysun, 24, and Neal Jabahri Duan, 27, after one of the men allegedly jumped the fence to enter the enclosure while the other filmed.

My thoughts exactly.

And pepper spray if they have it.

With no parole.

yes I agree it makes us look bad as Americans. It’s like when they say an American soldier rapes a japanese lady and I look at the name and find a photo I’m never surprised. But still, it reflects on America.

At least they didn’t pull this trick at the next cage where Spank the Monkey lived.

[T.B. Yoits]

Yeah, where are they really from?

[bigbob]

Sign said “Punch the Monkey” - so they did.

Luckily the monkey wasn’t named “Spank”

[Veto!]

Infuriating.
They sould be dropped into the rhino exhibit after male rhinos given Viagra.

I had long work assignments in Japan. Kyoto and Nara. My boss was black. He could only get a week long visa to come. I got six month commercial visas, no problem. When he was there to check up with me, his hotel room was gone thru, his desk messages were untaped, and his room phone never had any messages on it.

It can be a very closed society. They don't care for Islam at all. That was in the 80's.

I know I was watched once in a while as well.

According to the left, they are now Japanese not Americans. They used that exact example.

Ah, the race card is only good in certain jurisdictions.

[StormEye]

They look kind of, hmm, ... gay?

As an embarrassed American, I wish to donate these two guys to the zoo for exhibition. Do they have a section for lesser primates?
