Warren the Ape Has Excellent Taste
Why am I doing this? Many reasons. One, I always enjoy Puppets Behaving Badly. Two, I feel a certain kinship with any monkey who abuses alcohol on a regular basis. Three, there’s these fantastic videos of Warren’s ’70s-style action flick “Bad Po Fo” and him attending a disturbing recreation of about half the D&D games I’ve ever been a part of. Four, Dan Milano asked me really, really nice, and he condescended to fawn all over TR, when he’s a Hollywood big-shot and I’m just a fat nerd writing bullshit on the internet. Last, and by no means least, every minute that Warren the Ape is on MTV is a moment that The Hills and Jersey Shore are not on, which I think we all can agree is A Good Thing. You know what the right thing to do is. So do it.
