TV News Camermen To Be Replaced By Chimps?

TV executives have made major strides in their bid to replace news camera operators with Chimpanzees. 

Trial footage filmed by the apes has been released by the BBC, but it seems these would-be simian camera operators have a ways to go.

Reps of the camera operator's union have denounced this move as a retro-evolutionary step and claim that, in any case, "the monkeys (sic) are too short to be cameramen".

The Chimps rep said "arggh arghh arghh eee eee eee!!" and slapped this reporter across the face with a banana.
