Thread Name: BS: Gay protest penguin breeding program
Subject: RE: BS: Gay protest penguin breeding program
I have a suspicion that the German sense of humour might be at work here. I don't mean that Wolfgang made it up, and it's been in all the papers and that - but I feel there might perhaps be an element of piss-taking on the part of the protestors and the zoo's press officer maybe....
Latest twist in the stories I've seen in the media is that, since the male penguins seem fairly set in their ways, they are bringing in a couple more male penguins who might be more interested in the females.
I'm sure it's doing wonders for the zoo's attendance figures at a time of year when people don't nornmally go to the zoo much...
