Two things I read today...

[fauxmaha]

And if that isn't enough for you, there's this:

Pony, an endangered Bornean orangutan, was discovered in February 2003 in a brothel village at Kareng Pangi, Central Kalimantan chained to a wall and lying on a mattress.


She had been ruthlessly and abhorrently exploited by local palm oil farmers who would come to the village and pay £2 to have sex with her.


Having been snatched from her mother when she was a baby, her captors treated Pony extremely harshly - shaving her every two days and forcing her to wear perfume and makeup.


She was even taught to perform sex acts on demand for her customers.

I'm skeptical of the Borneo story ("horrifying story of an orangutan used in the Indonesian sex trade has been retold by the conservationists who rescued her"...lotta room to slide some BS in there...), but at a minimum, someone had to think that up, and that is weird enough.

[Marshall]

And somebody read it and decided to post about it. Very weird indeed.

[epaul]

Both of those are flat out perverted. God made sheep for a good reason.

I can't think of a sex act that I would trust an orangatan to perform on my precious body parts. (You've seen their teeth, haven't you?)

And whales?

Maybe a really pretty whale.

John McAfee, "Whale Fucker"?  I'd maybe drop the word 'whale'.

Pony the Orangutan. The Mail report seems true. The Iceland advert palm oil angle in their article is the new part that perhaps prompted the tale's retelling.

There is more weirdness in the world than we know, which I think paraphrases someone or something badly, but it’s certainly true.

[james]

In my travelling (more) days, I stayed at Amdergris Caye for a week or so. I also went jungle trekking, stayed very near for a while and visited a couple of times, the orangutan orphanage in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra before it's catastrophic flooding in 2003. That's just me grasping at an excuse to be a travel bore though.

[t-bob]

Now that was weird......

No videos? No smell-o-Rama? Ewwww

[millring]

Extinction might be a too kind fate for us.

[Chesapeake]

Wonder if they ever tried the lipstick trick on the whale.

[Cosmic Wonder]

People believe this, but don't believe in vaccinations?

All of my orangutans have been vaccinated.
