Totally Irreverent

I read the Guardian from the UK, because it offers a completely different point of view from American newspapers. I was catching up on the news of the past few days and stumbled across this spoof of the Queen's Christmas Speech.
PG Tips is one of the large tea companies in the UK and their puppet character is called Monkey (pronounced Mon-keh), for rather obvious reasons. This picture is Monkey playing a pirate, not the Queen.

    One would like to think that even HM would find this funny.

    So funny! And of course then I had to go to YouTube and watch every advert that Monkey had made for PG tips and for ITV digital. He even made a short film for PG Tips (my favorite brand of tea)!

    PG tips are a favorite for me. I purchase them at Wegmans. Love the triangular bag.
