Panda is too heavy to have sex (Weird But True)
New York Post ^ | January 15, 2007 | TATIANA DELIGIANNAKIS

Thai zookeepers are hoping a low-carb diet will get an overweight panda in the mood to mate.

Chuang Chuang, a 330- pound panda, is too heavy to have sex with 253- pound Lin Hui, caretakers said. So they created a special diet for Chuang Chuang - replacing loaves of bread with low-fat bamboo branches.

Zookeepers had planned to show the pair "panda porn" - instructional videos on mating techniques - but dropped that idea after research proved that not all pandas respond to the images.

"Pandas" by Corky and the Juice Pigs

White and black, the friendly bears of China

White and black, they rarely reproduce

What shall be done about these Chinese bears?

What shall be done about these friendly bears?

Die, they must die

The pandas must die

Die, they must die

The pandas must die

Yay!

Why should we save them?

What good do they do?

Have you ever seen a panda

Do something good for you?

They can't wear t-shirts,

They can't bounce basketballs

They can't walk tightropes

Over Niagra Falls

Die, they must die

The pandas must die

Die, they must die

The pandas must die

You fat bastard!

All endangered species

Leave endangered feces

If you knew how bad they smelled

You would gladly take their pelt

If we kill them all

We can have more parking lots

We can have small couches

Made of little ocelots

Die, they must die

The pandas must die

Die, they must die

The pandas must die

Did anybody point out to them that pandas in the wild eat bamboo, not bread?

Why on earth are the feeding panda loaves of bread? I thought zoos were paranoid about keeping their animals diest *natural*.

Other than my next door neighbor's herd of dogs, Pandas are the dumbest creatures on God's Green Earth.

I saw them at the National Zoo awhile back. Slow and dirty animals...I didn't understand what made them so special.

Yeah, *special diet*- what they eat in the wild. Now they're the heros for helping the pandas for figuring this out because they *created* a special diet that would help them lose weight.

"Panda porn."

I must have missed that episode of Jerry Springer. He has had larger mammals on his show discussing their mating habits.

So they're telling us millions of years ago the panda not only learned how to make fire, but also learned to grow, harvest, grind, and mix wheat into a dough and placed it in their clay ovens to bake until it forms a nice golden crust?

If they want, they can borrow a selection or two from my extensive library. LOL.

(Seriously, did it change the course of anyone else's day to learn that "panda porn" exists?.. heh heh)

Corky and the Juice Pigs were and are one of the best things about Mad TV.

I'm the Only Gay Eskimo is a piece of sheer brilliance.

Ahytime I come across a news story or something else about pandas, that little ditty by Corky and the Juice Pigs always gets stuck in my head...
