    Technically, that's an ape (and so are we).

    The guy on the left looks he's ready to break out a Dr. Evil pose.

    I like the pic because I figured the ape was getting paid big bucks and getting a FREE X1 Carbon.

    Hence the big grin.

    Umm, pretty tasteless, not sure why its funny to use captured wild animals that should live out there in the freedom.

    That's a pretty big assumption.

    @Thor, @vēer might have a point, though. We should have concerns for the two wild animals on the left and the right.

    Incidentally, I'm starting a Great Novel project: I'm gonna get one of those new-era ThinkPads and ask my friend standing in the middle to put the ground-breaking "Precision" keyboard into peerless literary use.

    Well, I just assume a company like Lenovo wouldn't be stupid enough to book an act with animals of questionable origin.

    While everyone is getting on their high horse, how do you feel about buying an electronic product made in one of the most polluted parts of the world by labor that's barely above state sponsored slave labor?

    Now give him a banana! :D

    Funny enough, I'm currently watching a eMusic commercial featuring a space monkey.
