Action Alert Great Apes in Entertainment on UK TV show

A UK TV show, Richard and Judy, includes a section called 'funny five' where they show 5 of their favourite funny utube clips. This week, one of them is a show which involves tricking women, who are blindfolded, into kissing a chimpanzee and an orangutan. Both apes are dressed in human clothes and display fear grins and it is quite appalling to watch. Viewers can vote for which of the five clips shown is their favourite. Apparently, on air, Richard said this one was his favourite. If many of us write to complain, we can urge them to re-evaluate this and possibly gain some publicity for why this kind of 'entertainment' is not acceptable. Please contact them:

I will circulate this as widely as possible at the IPS conference in Edinburgh where I am at the moment. Please also spread the word.
