If you’re pro-human you are now anti-gorilla. But the pro-gorillas aren’t exactly gorillas themselves.

The media are using the same template on this story, as they did last year when they pushed the Cecil the lion story.

In each case, the media are taking a story and pushing it and promoting it as a major news item. Far beyond its real importance to any of us. And also, push the meme that innocent animals died under cruel circumstances due to malicious behavior by humans.

A gorilla has taken control of your TV set.

They would have rather seen a black child die.

Racist much?

He took over the White House eight years ago.

If it had been a white child, which they thought at first, this would be much more of a fire storm. But since that has been defused, they’re looking at other reasons to flail their arms and scream that someone is a racist, or something.

All you had to do was look at the poles and posts to know this was NOT a safe condition. The posts look like a jungle gym...an easy feat for all the little ones.

Time to put up a glass panel...

Baraq is a fag.

Gorilla just doesn’t apply.

How many thousands of families with children visited this zoo without any kids falling in?

Look at the bright side. Another bottle of Genuine Gorilla Glue can be produced.
Kaley Cuoco was stepped on by her horse and almost lost her leg. I guess she was stupid.
"dragged the child by the ankle through the water and into another section of the exhibit. The boy's head was banging on concrete."
If it were her kid would she ok with that?

It hasn't mine. The channel changer still works. So does the OFF switch. Netflix/HBO GO/Amazon Prime. Nary a gorilla.

When I saw the idiot protesters with signs saying ‘Justice for Harambe’, all I could think was, ‘Don’t these people have lives?’

Society has been so dumbed-down, and even the notion of relative *value* has been so confused, that a lot of people HAVE no real values.

So, it makes them feel good and validated, to go out and take a stand for Something - any stand, any thing - because humans still instinctively require and search for values.

There's a knob on my TV that says "Brightness", but it never works.
