Good News For Monkey Lovers
February 25th, 2009 at 7:15 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesThere has been a lot of pain and heartache over Congress’ attempt to stop people from keeping monkeys as pets. If you can’t have them as pets, here’s the next best thing…
The doll’s description from Ashton Drake (maker of all sorts of collectibles…):
Fall in love with Little Umi, a collectible orangutan baby doll you have to see to believe, and the first-ever So Truly Real® baby monkey doll! Beautifully crafted, her head and limbs are of collector-quality silicone that recreate every realistic detail of her face, hands and feet. Hand-rooted wispy red hair covers her from head to toe. Offer Little Umi her FREE pacifier and watch as she gazes up at you with gentle, trusting eyes.
And, as Mrs. Holmes pointed out to me, guaranteed not to attack!
Just when you think all is lost, there is always a ray of primate-themed sunshine.

Should we call her Charleena Johnson?

Well, the creators already named her. They must have known how IMPORTANT it is for an ape to have a name. And what-not. Your name is better.

Where’s the toy gun for when this gets out of hand?

That was a water spewer.

So 4 Reelz: You could put a tuxedo & white gloves on these same dolls and repackage them as “Baby Al Jolson.”

I’ll go on record as saying I do not support comparing people with brown skin to lower primates. Just truly offensive.
