I read this in the paper today, if it's been posted already sorry:

New exhibit at London Zoo - humans

LONDON (AFP) - London Zoo unveiled a new exhibition -- eight humans prowling around wearing little more than fig leaves to cover their modesty.

The "Human Zoo" is intended to show the basic nature of human beings as they frolick throughout the August bank holiday weekend.

"We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man's place in the planet's ecosystem," London Zoo said.

The scantily-clad volunteers will be treated as animals and kept amused at the central London zoo with games and music.

"I actually think the fig leaves will be enough to cover us up, it's no worse than a swimming pool," said volunteer Simon Spiro, 19, from New Malden, south of the British capital.

Spiro, selected from dozens of hopefuls in an Internet competition, said he was excited by the prospect of monkeying around on the zoo's Bear Mountain.

"I'm a veterinary student so the idea of working for a zoo was something that appealed to me.

"I thought it would be fun and interesting because I'm an outdoorsy kind of person," he said.

Brendan Carr, 25, from Aylesbury, southern England, wrote a poem in his bid to get on the mountain.

"I'm funky like a monkey and as cool as a cat, talk more than a parrot, up all night like a bat," it went.

"I got a laugh like a hyena but get the hump like a camel, so cover me in fig leaves as I'm the ultimate mammal."

There's only one question in my mind. What happens when they need to "procreate"? :lol

Oh wait, is that a cave in there?

 

[pnjtony]

I think it's only for like a weekend and probably go home at night.

if it's longer and they have to stay there all night then....I smell reality show oppourtunities!

The paper said they leave at night. The exhibit is only running til Monday.

edit: how come they're the only animals that get to wear clothes?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

So...humans basically conquered the planet by acting like fat, spoiled zoo gorillas? :?


There's a sweet spot where people who think they're deep and intelligent fail miserably at "making a point" about an important topic. They just hit the bullseye.

Somebody throw those two girls at the top a strap-on!

They could take some of the dragrats out of Austin, who I'm sure would love to be housed, fed, and have constant attention. Besides, they practically throw shit at people as it is, so they'd fit right in.

So if they just busted out in buckwild fukken, would they be arrested for lewdness?

 

[Hitokage]

This would be clever if the real exhibit was the crowd watching.
