He has recently been Travelling The World making tiny moving pictures. But as a member of the Monkey Family, his beady eyes are always on the alert for Monkeys of Interest. Wandering through a department store in Shanghai looking for a truss, he came upon this extraordinary combination of Pure Art, Technology and Good Monkey Face.
His images are accompanied by a Mysterious Note:
"TV Monkey or Monkey TV?
As seen in a department store in Shanghai no less.
How about it?"
How about it indeed, little brother!
It is almost Too Much, and a late entry to the Gallery which has forced me to reconsider my current favourite. I shall consider the Winner as I float through the skies, protected by a talisman that will "ensure safe passage on a journey over water", and post the result next week. (If I am not distracted by something else.) If anyone can remember all the past Splendid Monkeys and has a preference, please submit your vote (with supporting argument for your choice).

That is the best thing ever. No contest. All further product design or development can now cease, as the MonkeyVision is clearly the apotheosis of human creative effort.
Inspired. I can't think of a singe item that couldn't be improved by building it into a monkey.
but, jimmy page's trousers, "a singe item" is a monkey already!
Frenchian slip?
(for those who don't know French, singe = monkey)
Personally, I liked the red one who was inspecting inside his pants
Thanks a lot Anxious. Ruin my subtle, multi-lingual joke, why don't you.
Everybody got it. Everybody realised that I had cunningly slipped in a little French humour (the best kind) and that it wasn't just a stupid typo.
'Single'. 'Single'. I meant 'Single', all right. Damn these useless fumble-fingers.
Yup put Tony blair in a monkey suit and he might even get his legacy. No that's taking things too far.....
Bad reception though, what did he have for lunch?
He did buy the TV Monkey?
It is a wonderful Monkey and the product of a Fertile Imagination. It would be a worthy winner. But then there's the Monkey in the Bath and NWM's Modesty protected by Figleaves. I can't come up with a sufficiently strong supporting argument for one and would, myself, go for a Dead Heat.
But that may not show the right spirit.
I would like to point out that I also sent in two heavily-armed monkeys which for some reason did not make the cut.
If I start self-harming it's your fault.
Ottermonkey.
It's Ottermonkeys all the way.
Long live the Ottermonkeys.
Ottermonkeys rule OK.
(You get the idea)
