A graf in the piece described the office of the company&#39;s CEO and spoke of an idol of &quot;Hanuman, the monkey God&quot; in one corner. While the piece was far from complimentary, the CEO was most upset that Hanuman had been described as a monkey God. To set the record straight, the article didn&#39;t use the term monkey business -- not once -- although it would have been fair comment to accuse the CEO and his company of that. <br /></p> <div class = "shareblock"><strong>Share this post:</strong> <a href = "mailto:?body=Thought you might like this: http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/daily_download/archive/2008/11/11/simian-semantics.aspx&amp;;subject=Simian+Semantics" target="_blank" title = "Post http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/daily_download/archive/2008/11/11/simian-semantics.aspx">email it!</a> | <a href = "http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/daily_download/archive/2008/11/11/simian-semantics.aspx&amp;;title=Simian+Semantics" target="_blank" title = "Post http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/daily_download/archive/2008/11/11/simian-semantics.aspx">del.icio.us!</a> | <a href = "http://www.digg.com/submit?url=http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/daily_download/archive/2008/11/11/simian-semantics.aspx&amp;;phase=2" target="_blank" title = "Post http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/daily_download/archive/2008/11/11/simian-semantics.aspx">digg it!</a> | <a href = "http://newsvine.com/_tools/seed?u=http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/daily_download/archive/2008/11/11/simian-semantics.aspx" target="_blank" title = "Post http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/daily_download/archive/2008/11/11/simian-semantics.aspx">newsVine!</a></div><img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3710" width="1" height="1">Monkey god
