my thoughts exactly...

You're crying, love?

World's greatest predator, capable of killing whales sans harpoons, proves not to be 100% sweet and cuddly when trapped in a toilet cubicle sized box!

I absolutely despise the way animals are viewed in western (or Westernized, like Japanese) culture .
Either "cute" - read non-threatening, easy to control
or monsters - read capable of fending for themselves, unwilling to be contolled by us, successful (i.e. numerous - "vermin"), or fierce

We seem genuinely disturbed when an animal we thought was cuddly shows any power. We can't take it that they won't fit into a comfy little "teddy bear" image. Really depressing .

I'm more disturbed by the 'You've Been Framed' aspect of all this

I've always wondered if out there,somewhere,is an oriental Chris Tarrant laughing at clips from "Beadles About" and saying "Oh those crazy British"!

It's Yuko Ogura. She's a singer, only she doesn't sing too well and always seems spaced out during performances.
