Great Apes No Longer to be Used in Commercials. Cadbury Drummer Said Despondent.

PETA announced that the Ad Council will pledge to no longer use great apes in future commercials because of the way in which the animals are raised and trained. I’m just bummed because I won’t be able to see the little hairy critters use laser pointers anymore. Hilarity ensues no more! If I’m Cadbury? I’m setting up a microsite to accept donations to help find work for their soon to be out of work drummer. His future once promising, him and his band will now be forced to work small clubs just to get by. Sad.
