Which is why, all hope is lost that Hollywood will ever make quite a 
masterpiece again.  I am talking about, of course, the infamous *no monkey* 
clause in all of Jackie Chan's Hollywood contracts.

As I speak though, an assortment of big Hollywood conglomerates, prompted by 
the outcries of a deprived movie-going monkey-wanting audience, is currently 
involved in litigation with Mr. Chan, citing that such a clause is 
unconstitutional, fascist, and *blight upon the artistic and general 
societial health of America, if not the world*.  Mr. Chan wasn't available 
for comment.

We wait on the edge of our seats, breathless.
