Now, the library is apologizing for the whole debacle, saying they had no idea the performing arts group would show up with a dude in an explicit monkey costume - and, of course, pushing the blame off on someone else.
Please tell me the rationale behind these indecent costumes that were shown to families and done so publicly. RfVA42fLyvĪpparently this is meant to encourage kids in Redbridge to pick up reading for summer.
I would really love a detailed breakdown of the commissioning process whereby Redbridge council commissioned the Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey as a means to teach children to read. Video from the event was tweeted out by the group and immediately picked up by social media users who were pretty quick to note the multi-colored monkey man dancing around with his…er…detachable cash and prizes dangling in the London breeze. Video footage from the event shows a whole host of performers taking part in the “entertainment” – including a grown adult male wearing a rainbow-colored monkey suit complete with an external fake penis, deliberately exposed nipples and bare buttocks. Here’s how it happened: Redbridge Libraries in London reportedly hosted a Summer Reading Challenge for kids, and invited the Mandinga Arts Group to perform during the event. Nothing makes sense, everything is stupid, and we’ve apparently found ourselves in a land in which government-run-and-funded entities have to walk back having hired perverted freaks wearing multi-colored outfits and prosthetic genitals to entertain kids. is apologizing after hiring "Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey" - as he's so far come to be known online - to dance in front of children at a summer reading event.Īnd there, folks, is a sentence I never thought I’d have to write.Īnd yet, it’s 2021. Actions are being taken, more information to follow."Īnd while the group's website as well as its Facebook and Instagram pages were down Tuesday, it appears folks already got a look at some of what the group features and shared their findings.Disclaimer: this blog and the photos contained in it may be disturbing to some viewers. We respect everyone's individual opinion with no offense to any part. Mandinga Arts tweeted, "We apologize for the offense caused while raising awareness of the reading campaign by Redbridge Libraries on 10 July. Website of group behind monkey costume is down I have launched a full and thorough investigation into how these performers were hired by Vision and will put stringent measures in place to ensure something like this can't happen again." As soon as I was made aware of the performers, I immediately contacted Vision and the event was stopped. Completely inappropriate and deeply offensive performers were hired by independent contractor Vision who manage Redbridge libraries and leisure centers. Labour councillor Jas Athwal tweeted: 'I was appalled by the incident in Redbridge Libraries on Saturday. Redbridge Council said that it did not arrange the event and that it was organized by Vision Redbridge Culture and Leisure (RCL), a registered charity and a non-profit organization, which has "since apologized to residents," the Evening Standard said. However, the Daily Mail reported that the libraries initially said on social media, "if you've got it, flaunt it" in reference to the event.
