Picture the scene.

A group of monkeys is happily talking about the usual stuff,?scratching their arses, tugging at their genitals, picking nits, etc etc, when into their midst the young Peter West arrives.? Within minutes several monkeys have run screaming from the zoo, others have stuffed their fingers in their ears and are refusing to communicate with anyone, two more have had a nervous breakdown, and the remainder are asking the zoo-keeper (a bald bloke with a tendency to commune with the monkeys by mooning at them) to get rid of the little boy. One monkey, however, sees a stray turd and hoicks into PW's eye.? Tranquility returns.

PW, however, bears a grudge against the monkeys.? He breaks open his piggy-bank, takes the money he'd saved from his paper-round (with which he was planning on buying a season ticket to CFC, or indeed possibly just buying CFC - would have been cheaper back then), and buys an annual pass to the zoo.? He returns to the tragic scene every weekend, and torments the monkeys by picking arguments with them.

After some years, his parents buy him a season ticket to CFC out of their own savings, in the hope that he will start interacting with the next level up the evolutionary ladder.? Sadly he ends up at the Gathering instead.

And the rest, as they say, is ....

Its shocking and distressing to be on the receiving end , I can tell ya , when i was about 10 we went for a day out to Chessington Zoo , We got to the Monkey enclosure and we were watching the Monkeys monkeying around , and the next thing that I knew was that I was sitting on the floor feeling a bit dazed , one of the monkeys had thrown a turd at me and it got me straight in the eye and it made me fall over . Completely ruined my day out .

Having a dump onstage isnt pop culture , I dont know what category that it falls under , but it doesnt fall under "pop culture ".

? What GG Allin did was to push the boundaries out , Elvis also pushed the boundaries out by seductively shaking his legs , David Bowie pushed the boundaries out by being a poof and wearing make up .?Having a dump onstage is just a continuation of pushing the boundaries out . Marilyn Manson hasnt pushed any boundaries out, hes just cornered a niche in the market . Having dump on stage in front of a paying audience could be explained by the "paying " bit , he gains out of it , BUT paying to see someone doing a dump on stage is just odd bordering on the depraved............And why the hell did he not have one before hand?
