Germany Is Taking Formal Ownership Of Justin Bieber's Monkey

[FarCenter]

In late March, Germany seized Justin Bieber's capuchin monkey, Mally, because Bieber didn't have the proper vaccination and import papers when he landed in Munich.

In the past two months, Bieber has failed to produce those papers.

So now ownership of Mally is being transferred to the German state.

1. The real reason they kept it is that they found out that

Bieber spanked his monkey.

9. Herr Bieber hat seinen Affen vergessen? Was für ein Arschloch!

But really, you're all just jealous because you're not serious artists making a craft free from gimmick!

But, really, those shades look sooooo contrived!

7. I'm sure the animal will be treated well, perhaps rewarded with an ambassadorship.

I hope it likes beer and sausages.

12. Being Hitler's monkey? Can the 'Downfall/YouTube parody' be far behind?

11. Germany ought to charge Beliebers money to come touch the monkey. And give the money to Greece.

Heck--a short tour round the EU could end austerity!!!

See what I can solve!

25. Well, Peter Gabriel should be higher

Hadn't heard Widespread Panic -- "Sleepy Monkey" before. Thanks.

[pinboy3niner]

28. Yeah, the rankings are off, but you're welcome

I still like the Winehouse angle. "...but I said, 'No, no, no."
