COME SEE THE UGLIEST ANIMALS ON EARTH

The London Zoo has opened up a new exhibit called “Homo sapiens” -- an enclosure containing eight humans dressed only in fig leaves. According to the press release, the four-day “Human Zoo” exhibit is meant to “highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man’s place in the planet’s ecosystem.” How this is supposed to be accomplished is anyone’s guess. A more accurate press release might state that the exhibit was opened “to create media attention and bring more paying customer’s to the zoo.” (Ananova)
