why do the white kids make monkey sounds to me at school?
Whenever I’m at lunch, they’ll all make monkey noises at me when I turn my back. One time I even got a banana hucked at the back of my head. Whenever I ask a white girl out or try to hang with the cool kids, they just laugh at me. My nickname is “monkey boy” now. Why do they keep making monkey allusions? I’m really dark, my dad is African. Could that be it??
If these children are American, they’re probably not so bright. What with the failure of No Child Left Behind, that’s probably the extent of their language capabilities…

Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies for the Film Curious George $4.90 Admit it: If you had to pick an artist to give voice to the wackadoo thinkings of a monkey beloved by most of the American populace over age 3, you could do a lot worse than Jack Johnson.

It’s set in Los Angeles, where dedicated cop Hank (Steve Zahn) does jail time for … |

Stuart Little [VHS] $1.25 This live-action version of E.B. White’s novel doesn’t have quite the magic of, say, Toy Story. Instead of entertainment the whole family can be enthralled with, Stuart Little is squarely aimed, and successfully so, at the 4- to 10-year-old watcher. Does this make it a bad family film? Not in the slightest. The gee-whiz visual effects (created by original Star Wars wizard John Dykstra) and the fil… |
