This is a different take on the recent news of Bowie's death. Holy Shiota, Batman.

People are insane.There's apparently a lot of weirdness in Japan...
Women flock to Japan zoo to see 'hunky' gorilla
AFP, via YahooNews ^ | June 25, 2015 | Associated Foreign Press
A giant gorilla with brooding good looks and rippling muscles is causing a stir at a Japanese zoo, with women flocking to check out the hunky pin-up.
Shabani, an 18-year-old silverback who tips the scales at around 180 kilograms (400 pounds), has become the star attraction at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, striking smouldering poses the movie model in "Zoolander" would be proud of.
"He often rests his chin on his hands and looks intently at you," zoo spokesman Takayuki Ishikawa told AFP on Friday.
"He is more buff than most gorillas and he's at his peak physically. We've seen a rise in the number of female visitors -- women say he's very good-looking."

I revise my prior statement—The majority of people are insane, and should be locked up in order to avoid contaminating the rest of the sane population.
