A monkey, a marshmallow and a freaky job opportunity (690)

Full credit to @westingham on Twitter for finding this ad that's my favourite from 2013 so far. If you've ever wanted to hand-feed marshmallows to a monkey on the edge of insanity, here's the job for you. And best of all, it's in the crazy-ad Kijiji capital of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
