A troop of monkeys trained to perform Tae Kwon Do turned on their owner, punching and kicking him in the face in front of a crowd of onlookers. One Kung-Fu monkey demonstrated proficiency with the bo staff, cracking the trainer over the head. Had they not been on leashes, full-on monkey mayhem may have ensued. Oh, well. Maybe next time.  The photo linked below, by the way, is nothing short of spectacular.

Hu Luang, 32, a bystander who photographed the incident, said: "I saw one punch him in the eye - he grabbed another by the ear and it responded by grabbing his nose. They were leaping and jumping all over the place. It was better than a Bruce Lee film."

The sad part is that the monkeys were punished for being monkeys. The trainer should have thought twice before teaching monkeys Tae Kwon Do. At least he didn't teach them Krav Maga.
