Trunk Monkey: Not a Trunk Monkey

As we enjoy primate-related humor and also take vehicle safety very seriously, we were able to laugh heartily at the "Trunk Monkey" series of videos, while also choking up with anger at what was clearly a chimpanzee being callously referred to as a "monkey". This laughter/rage combo made milk come out out of our collective nose. "Trunk Monkey" is even on the damn button in some of these ads. Funny? Yes (because nothing's better than seeing a chimp knock somebody out) but internet memes have power, and this one further entrenches the ape/monkey misnomer.
