I swear every time I watch the news, pandas will be on it. It’ll always be something on how these zoo officials in China are trying to get these two pandas to have sex by showing them instructional videos (panda porn?) or how China is giving a panda to another country as a goodwill gesture. Pandas get almost as much news coverage as George W. Bush.

And they’re pretty similar to one another too, except one eats shoots and leaves and the other eats, shoots and leaves.

China’s idea of doling out panda bears to strengthen diplomatic relations is very clever. Like when they offered two pandas to Taiwan a while back. "Well, sorry we pointed nuclear warheads at you and threatened you with military force and destruction. Here’s a panda."

Pandas are cute and cuddly and all. But really, an animal that does nothing but consume 30 kilos of bamboo a day and needs human intervention to encourage them to have sex when they obviously aren’t even interested in furthering their own species…shouldn’t we just let them naturally go extinct?

Biologists and panda-huggers, please don’t shoot me. Here’s a panda.
