Monkey Emoji Question
A Debate Over the Monkey Emoji Is Tearing the Internet Apart
There are many debates on the internet that unite and divide us. A new one brewing over the three monkey emoji is the latest one.
Started by Twitter comedian Jonny Sun, the tweet asks a simple question: Are the three monkey emoji that make different faces the same monkey or three different monkeys?
seriouse question!!!

The poll, which ended, came in pretty close. Of the 211,701 votes, 53 percent believe it's one monkey and 47 percent believe it's three different monkeys. Sun himself believes it's only one monkey. Now it's time for you to decide. Is it one monkey or three? Let us know in our poll.
