The greatness of US, with the simplicity of a scooter.

Sooooooo cute..

When the front page of the Newspaper in Washington is a picture of a baby panda, something is wrong, and not in your mind, but in the editor’s one.
A couple of months ago, I was just arrived in DC, and I remember that one morning, taking a look at the Washington Post, I was surprised to find a cub giant Panda as first large imagine: no wars, no Presidents, no shooting Vice-Presidents... I mean, it was interesting, and also if I think a little over highlighted, anyway it was an original piece of niews.
And for this baby panda, there was a great show: thousands of free tickets sold in 1 day, to satisfy the curiosity of children, guys, men.
After few days, I forgot about it.
But last Monday, reading the Washington Post, I couldn’t believe to read a story about the fallen in love Panda: the paper started with “I was at the drugstore […] when I noticed another shopper intently pawing through the ‘For that Special One’ section. […] It was Tai Shan, the National Zoo’s giant panda.” And then the writer was reporting about this Panda in love, with a sort of moving tale because it was in love with a married woman.
The classic impossible love, with the classic Panda evolved.
Hehehe. Fuck the Panda! Yesterday was my last day in DC: I went to the zoo (I’ve never been in a real zoo before, so I was curious to see…) and I saw the baby Panda. Far away, it was sleeping on a tree, and it didn’t take a move.
After 10 seconds, it was really boring.

Animals are not humans because they are animals. But sometimes humans are animals because they are humans.
