Considering that the Olsen Twins weren't born until June, 1986, I'd say it's a hoax. Hey, somedamnbody has to keep track of these things.

What kind of person names their monkey 'F123'?

I just noticed that the number listed on the flyer is an 866 area code. That's a toll-free number. So perhaps this isn't a prank. Perhaps it's a form of guerrilla (or gorilla) advertising.

The fact that the author of the flyer doesn't know when Full House was on does nothing to prove or disprove it's voracity.
The fact that the picture looks more like an orangutan, but is described as a monkey is a little more suspect IMHO. Plus, what's with the F123?
Sounds like maybe a lab designation or something.

What (and how much) the monkey eats would prove its voracity. And, yes, any assertions regarding the Olsen twins Do reflect on the vEracity of the claimant, as pursuant to Hairy's Edict, which states: The inverse ratio of the Truth and hoaxes is directly proportional to complete knowledge (non-biblical) of Mary Kate and Ashley's D.O.B.

Thanks for breakin it down in mathematical speak HH. I would also subtract the impractical dubiousness of claims stated divideD by the farout flyers NUMBER stated being a callcenter FOR CLEARASIL INFO.

Clearasil eh? The only word replaying in my mind is... WHY??

In case you have zits, that's why. Silly kitten.

Kids like monkeys (think MJ), kids have zits. This might be some strange marketing angle campaign???

Let me see... You're suggesting that this is a marketing campaign designed to sell The Olsen Twins Clearasil? Or are you suggesting this is to ruin the careers of MK and A by comparing them to zit-ridden monkeys? Please clear this up. I must know.

Yes, veracity. That's what I meant.
Anyway, it's clearly not a monkey.

You are right, Matt. It's an orangutan, which is an ape. Or it's Emmett Kelly, Jr. (figure out That obscure reference, Hairyphiles)

Easy, thats Emmett Kelly Sr.'s son.

Perhaps there was a terrible zit-related accident that befell a confused young man who can't tell the difference between monkies and orangutans, and the Clearasil hotline team just couldn't save him. (sad, oh sob, sob...)

And this is his revenge. A really half-assed Phantom of the Opera style tragedy.

Clearly, the involvement of the Olsen twins, much like communism, is just a red herring....

Ironically, doing a Google image search of "baby monkey" brings up this exact picture on the poster as the very first item, showing the people who made this poster didn't try very hard.

Found at the following URL:

What I really want to know is: Which of the Olsen Twins does this baby monkey (ape) look like according to the postermaker? I see a hint of Mary Kate, but no Ashley. A little John Stamos in there, if you squint.

You know, that does look like Emmett Kelly (without his hat). I could add some REALLY obscure chatter here about the old feud between Emmett Sr. and Emmett Jr., but I won't.

I saw Emmett Kelly Jr. at the 1963/84 New York World's Fair. I seem to remember my Dad mumbling something about a Sr./Jr. feud, but I thought he was trying to give me a hint, pushing some weird metaphor on me. (I was six) I'm saving up for more therapy, and the house-arrest ankle bracelet comes off in June.

"What I really want to know is: Which of the Olsen Twins does this baby monkey (ape) look like according to the postermaker? I see a hint of Mary Kate, but no Ashley. A little John Stamos in there, if you squint."

Well, given that they are TWINS..........

That is one of the cutest primates I have ever seen!

"I saw Emmett Kelly Jr. at the 1963/84 New York World's Fair."

That must have been a heck of a long fair, Hairy.

63/64... sorry, I have Typo blood

AW sez: "Well, given that they are TWINS........" The poster clearly says: "Looks like Olsen TwiN". Singular. If it looked like the TwinS, it would say TwinS. So... which one? My guess is Ashley Kate.

"Well, given that they are TWINS...."

As every creepy adult male and pre-pubescent female knows, they're actually fraternal twins. Not identical.

No, they're identical. It's so easy to tell. I've stayed up real late at night looking at the posters so I'm sure they are identical. The article I just put in my Olsen Twin scrapbook says they are identical. I've read it over and over, and I'm sure that's what it says. That's not creepy, that's just research. Am I breathing heavily? I gotta lay down. Where's that Olsen Twin magazine? Oh, here it is. Mmmmmmm....

Not only is the picture that is used pre-existing on the web, but the concept of "monkey is NOT trustworthy" may be kipped from the song "Monkeys Are Bad People" by Logan Whitehurst and the Junior Science Club:

Monkeys can't be trusted with your business
They're sneaky and dishonest through and through
Monkeys can't speak English, so they can't tell the truth
Monkeys are bad people, and so are you

Of course the are identical. Weren't they hired to play the same child on Full House? This obsession of yours must stop. This is important. really, really important, so get it right, man, for the love of god. Damn, Sam...

"Too much Monkey Business, for me to get involved with..." - Chuck Berry

Look. The Olsen twins are fraternal twins, not identical!
if they were identical it would of been hard to know which one is which- and it's not.
I have a twin-sister too and we're identical. The different is huge.

They got the role as Michelle because of their talent in different way of acting.Mary-kate did the funny scenes and Ashley the seriouse ones. They were a little worried about it, though, because they're fraternal. as everyone knows is fraternal twins not more alike than normal sisters and brothers so they were worried that mary-kate and ashley would change when the grew up-and they did but not that much.If they would of change more: then they had to use only one twin instead of two because they weren't alike. but they took the chanse and hoped that the twins wouldn't change so much that they weren't alike anymore. It's normal for fraternal twins to be 'identical' when they're little and two different persens when they grow up.

I hope you'll understand. I'm from Europe so i'm not that good in english

The monkey looks better than one of the Olsen twins
