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."

Chimps scare me more than gorillas.

Well duh! Chimps are more human...

They say we are more genetically similar to chimps than chimps are to gorillas.

Having lived in Japan for 14 years, I will admit that they do some weird things, but they are mostly confined to fantasies not realities.

Don't know if it is still true, but when I was there, even photographs of magazines displaying pubic hair were illegal. However, if it were a drawing (including those near photographic quality), anything was OK.

True story, my boss was returning from a business trip from Europe with a half-dozen popular magazines of a pornographic nature which his boss asked him to bring home. Just to be safe, he asked the customs agent (female) if the magazines were OK. She took them, paged through them and told him they were not.

Since he had checked first, then signed a wavier consenting to their seizure, there was no fine. But she spread the magazines out on the counter, cataloged each one, ripped an offending page from each as evidence and stapled them to his copy of the wavier (with the offending parts blacked out) before he left the checkpoint.

He was embarrassed, but happy since the document also showed what he paid for each magazine so he could collect from his boss.

That movie was ridiculous. Godzilla was 400-500 feet tall, King Kong was 50 ft tall. It would have been a very brief battle.

Reminds me of that scene in Woody Allen's "Take The Money and Run", where Allen is in a store quietly and discretely trying to buy a copy of Screw magazine. The guy at the register, not knowing the price, shouts across the store to his coworker, "Hey Lou, what much is Screw magazine? This guy wants to buy a copy!"

Didn't they recently uncover fossil evidence showing that Godzilla was actually much smaller than that?

LOL! Yeah, he said that was about how he felt. But the Japanese bureaucracy is famous for their meticulous and thorough efficiency even when it comes to something as mundane as seizing imported porn.

We joked about all her colleagues who would insist on examining the evidence once the magazines sans the missing page were out of the public view.

“Apeman” by the Kinks

I think I’m sophisticated
‘Cos I’m living my life like a good homosapien
But all around me everybody’s multiplying
Till they’re walking round like flies, man
So I’m no better than the animals sitting in their cages
In the zoo man
‘Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an ape man

I think I’m so educated and I’m so civilized
‘Cos I’m a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
I don’t want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man
I’m an ape man I’m a King Kong man I’m ape ape man
I’m an ape man

‘Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an ape man

In man’s evolution he has created the cities and
The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance
And I’d be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle

‘Cos the only time that I feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man
I’m an ape, I’m an ape ape man, I’m an ape man
I’m a King Kong man, I’m a voo-doo man
I’m an ape man

I look out my window, but I can’t see the sky
‘Cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an ape man
Come and love me, be my ape man girl
And we will be so happy in my ape man world

I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man, I’m an ape man
I’m a King Kong man, I’m a voo-doo man
I’m an ape man

I’ll be your Tarzan, you’ll be my Jane
I’ll keep you warm and you’ll keep me sane
And we’ll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
Just like an ape man

I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man, I’m an ape man
I’m a King Kong man, I’m a voo-doo man
I’m an ape man.
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
I don’t want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an ape man.

Not difficult if you have money. The line between dating and prostitution in Japan is a bit murky...

The Kinks were almost as “kinky” as these Japanese women.

The average gorilla penis size is 3.0 cm. I learned this watching an indy movie whose name escapes me.
