That is offensive. Orangutans generally play the keyboards.

It says much about the offended when they say that an ad about an orangutan offends them. I’m just sayin’...
To: Steelfish
I’ve seen man apes monkeying around on a guitar.
What’s the big deal...

That is offensive. Orangutans generally play the keyboards. Or the drums, Orangutans are awesome on drums. Next thing you know some morons gonna give one some castanets.

A lot of Dolphins play drums.
I suppose that would be offensive to some group or another, sheesh!
To: Rastus
I wonder if “every which way but loose” - offends them also.
To: Steelfish

I had to click the article because I couldn't imagine who could be offended by this, so here it is:
According to the Associated Press, the Sabah Wildlife Department director called the ad a “distasteful exploitation” and expressed concerns that people might look at it and get the wrong impression about how the refuge treats its animals.

Cue up the Lancelot Link Band segment.

Hard Rock Cafe just perpetuates the stereotype that all rocks are hard. It’s racis, er, rockist. There are plenty of rocks that are not so hard, and even lots of soft rocks.

Lots of animals play music.
My cat even tries to write computer programs.
She’s not the best programmer I’ve ever met, but she can hold her own against an H1-B.

"concerns that people might look at it and get the wrong impression about how the refuge treats its animals."
LOL!
That's even funnier.
Oh no, they make orangutans competently play a musical instrument!
Hell, that's better than a talking frog.

OK, I get the raven and Baltimore, and the orangutan and Sabah, but how is a bear related to Maui?
