I have nothing against monkeys like Chonga as long as they know their place -- wearing cute jackets and hats and dancing for an organ grinder. Alternately, they serve as admirable subjects for experiments too dangerous to risk a human in.

For instance, King Kong was the result of a genetic experiment gone terribly wrong and he had to be "put down" in the most merciful way possible. He was so cute on the stage, but he got all uppity and, well, you know the unfortunate ending.
