A bear. A monkey. Riding bikes! At a Chinese circus! What could go wrong?

Perhaps, but it was a catchy theme.

 

I started the video. Thought I could watch it. As soon as they started riding, I turned it off. I don't think I can.

This is just a stupid idea.

 

Chris Jones and the writer from GQ who beat him out for a National Magazine Award despite the scorched earth are scrambling to write dueling long-form pieces on this as we speak.

 

I wish the bear had eaten one of the stick wielders.

Don't you care about ME! They cracked my skull and ate my fucking brain!



Not really. It was a prop monkey. But for a long time everyone thought otherwise.

 

38,000 seconds too late.

 

Actually, it's not really graphic; it's from a distance, and the view is mostly blocked by the guys with a death wish beating the bear (and no, that doesn''t stand for something else)

 

"I'll fix your little moneky ass" growled the bear.

 

That's why I always prefer my monkey torture to be psychological: http://www.boreme.com/posting.php?id=13647

 

No word on what happened to the monkey's drunk uncle.

 

Their bears will eat us. Obviously.
