Sorry, that was me, dressed in a gorilla suit. I'll try to be more mature next time, but, man, was that fun!

I nominate this for "most confusing headline of the day."

ROFLMAO!

I guess they didn't teach Koko a sign for "indecent exposure."

Two former caretakers for Koko, the famous gorilla who communicates with humans using sign language, say they were continually pressured to show Koko their breasts or face the consequences.

Sounds like a typical Democratic Party weekend retreat at the Kennedy compound. ;)

They should explain to Koko that is not permissible. Same sex relations are okay but sexual attraction to breasts is an animal instinct that humans are told to shun.

Koko has a lot to learn about political correctness.

Or what?? Koko was going to throw Koko-poo at them?

Shouldn't you be smarter than the gorilla to be it's caretaker?

"Patterson would interpret certain hand movements made by Koko as a 'demand' to see exposed human nipples," the suit alleges.

Well, at least we know what Rosie O'Donnell's up to these days.

Koko's first words, "eat" "drink" and "more," evolved into a "talking" vocabulary of some 1,000 signs, including such abstract concepts as "love," "jealous,","shame" and "Show me your tits".

Holy cow! The monkey had a "nipple fetish"? Ugh. Too much information.

Only in America could this type of story end up in a courtroom. I can hear it now: "Your honor, Koko is a beast and should be locked in a cage!"
