Did you hear about this cute little monkey who escaped from his crate and was wandering through a Toronto IKEA parking lot while it's owners were inside shopping?
Since the discovery of a stylish monkey wandering around a Toronto IKEA parking garage Sunday the Twittersphere has exploded with one liners and photoshopped images.
Darwin, the rhesus macaque monkey now in the custody of animal services, has become an overnight Internet sensation and garnered attention from CNN’s Anderson Cooper and a number of politicians on Parliament Hill, not to mention media from around the world.
A number of Twitter users took to the IKEA money hashtag (#ikeamonkey) Monday to quip about the sharp-dressed man, er, monkey.
One Tweeter implied Darwin and Oasis’ Liam Gallagher might be long lost brothers.
“If IKEA has any business sense at all, it'll be rushing sheepskin coat-wearing toy monkeys to its outlets by Christmas,” said @ColinHalling.
“Surely they have to rename the #IkeaMonkey Curious GĂ«org?” tweeted @sotonrich.
“Apparentely the #ikeamonkey was simply looking for a place to vomit after eating a couple of those delicious 50 cent Ikea hotdogs,” said @DTrums.
The coat Darwin was wearing has led to a number of photos comparing him to popular celebrities who wore similar coats. Kim Kardashian seems to be losing out to the monkey for most stylish.
An IKEA monkey Twitter account has garnered more than 3,000 followers in 24 hours.
This little monkey has become quite the social media sensation. Trending on twitter and all over Facebook.
The producers of Anderson Live even called the toronto Police to confirm the details of the story.
This little monkey, named Darwin is safe and healthy and will be heading to a sactuary
