This weekend, 10 miles of the 405 Freeway, also known as the primary lifeline of the west side of Los Angeles, will shut down for construction. The film’s simian stars, with their Twitter-ready “Apes Will Rise” slogan, aren’t the only ones spreading the word.

Did you hear about this? On Friday a bunch of people dressed as monkeys with spears to promote the new Planet of the Apes. Yeah. Yeah. So that’s why I couldn’t find a network executive for an hour. (Polite applause is heard.)
LOL.
I’m just picturing the real Jay Leno reading this joke online, then sadly balling up and throwing away the exact same joke that sat written on his desk.
Jay, you’re pure gold.
