Week 6: Bimbo meets prime time

Then the monkey should be kept in the company of the people she is familiar with at this "sanctuary" No matter what her history is what you are doing is still exploiting!

Note to the people who are complaining that Bimbo is being used or abused and should be left alone, you have not followed her history. She was a PET until around 2000 (age 29) when her owners were no longer able to care for her. She actually likes the companionship of people and could not be placed in a zoo or the wild. She appears to be having a lot more fun than the very people who are complaining about her treatment! I don't care about football at all but I find this competition between Princess Bimbo and the celebrities a real hoot. I look forward to more of her prognostications!

I think this has gone a bit to far. The monkey looks really stupid with a hat on!

Same with us. Bimbo is moving up the charts on our office pool, but seemed to have missed one game.

Where are the picks for the 49ers vs. Falcons? We have a weekly office pool to see if we are smarter than Princess Bimbo. With Bimbo only missing one game (Jags), we were hoping to get Bimbo's pick for the first game. This is important since my colleauge missed 2 games and does not know if he lost to Bimbo. Please post the first game picks... Thank you, Brad

Examiner Reader:.... Sounds to me like you have an AX to grind with this organization and this comment section is just giving you a platform to do that, anonymously. Unfortunately, every organization has an individual or two like yourself, someone who has a personal agenda. They are either against what the organization stands for, what they do, or how they do it. They never let the FACTS get in the way of their opinion. I guess that is what makes the world go round. I would hope that other readers like myself recogize this and see your comments for what they are. As for me, I am no longer going to read the comments. Life is to short.

Yes lets send Bimbo a football helmet, something only she can enjoy, that we know is just for her not for the sanctuary owner to spend or keep.

"Examiner Reader said: Don't you people get it! This monkey is from a sanctuary. A place where these monkeys are "suppose to be rescues" from other entertainers who have exploited them. She took them in and asks for donations and now she is doing the same thing that the previous owners have done to them. Why is this right? For those of you that have voted "I disagree" how would you feel if this monkey died before she was finished with all of this? She could very well die of stress because of her age and being put through all of these. This is a lot for a rescued monkey to go through, especially at her age. Most monkeys don't live this long. Not only that BUT do we know if this sanctuary owner is getting paid for this? Most media jobs do pay. " The Person who posted this statement is a moron, these people are trying to raise money for there animal rescue so readers like this should stop flapping there lips and start donating money like me.

We aren't talking about a domestic animal here, a dog. We are talking about a "suppose" to be sanctioned monkey who is "suppose" to be left alone.

What is it with you guys? Do you not get that this is just suppose to be FUN !!! Politicians or Monkey who is smarter ???? Last year some where a guy had a DOG pick against a group of people. Oh, and the DOG won.

This has to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Have the monkey watch the shows, like she really knows what she's watching and will be able to understand the game. This woman is #$%^&!

Leave the poor little monkey alone and let her stay in her cage.

What has happened to our society when we have to use monkeys to do stupid things like this? Why is this necessary? If you think it's funny, I think that there are probably quite a bit of people that would think just the opposite. I don't understand why this woman, Colleen is allowing this to happen.

awww I feel so sorry for that poor monkey. How come a sanctuary owner is doing that to her? That's why people don't want to donate to these kinds of sanctuaries, because they aren't who they say they are. I feel really bad for all of the mnkeys she cares for.

A sanctioned monkey being exploited! Now that's pitiful! You should be ashamed of yourself and so should you "The Examiner"
