The concept is delightfully whimsical, yet fitting. The scene with the monolith perfectly captures what people mean by a "disruptive technology". Plus, having a chimp-dude hitting something with a bone is *freakin' different*. OK, so it could stand to have something lighter than black as the main color, but that's what v2.0 is for. :-D I also approve of the customizable base. Sweet. (The other commenters are just jealous. Probably bought a dud monolith in SimEarth.) I love it! The concept is delightfully whimsical, yet fitting.
