If it were really<\/b><\/i> a jungle out there you wouldn’t be riding on the bus like a chump; you’d be riding a RHINO<\/b><\/i>. Or a GIANT WEB-SHOOTING SPIDER<\/b><\/i>. Or an ANTI-GRAVITY BOBSLEIGH<\/i><\/b>.
\n(and if it were really<\/i> a jungle out there, you wouldn’t find bananas floating willy-nilly inside of buses – they’d be suspended above pits, by giant wasps or near other inviting death traps. Is this ad trying<\/i> to disappoint me?!)<\/p>\n

The image is kind of deflated by trying to remind people “HEY IT’S A DONKEY KONG GAME” by shoving him in the bottom right corner. It clearly doesn’t intend him to be part of the main image, but I can’t help but interpret him as some sort of micro-sized bus fare collector. You just know punks would settle down when DK’s around, otherwise he’d go kongo bongo banana slamma on their asses.<\/p>\n

I’d love to know more about that Big Banana Competition. I really hope someone chose the bananas. The winner would become rich all right – RICH IN POTASSIUM!<\/i><\/b>
