Pay attention to the incredible shrinking Katie Couric:
If she isn’t a reason to throw a bag of hammers through your TV screen, I don’t know who or what is.
And here’s some not-news news about controlling kangaroo populations:
“Realistically, to deal with wild animals it has to be oral,” said Fletcher, who is collaborating with Newcastle University scientists on the research.
Government ecologist Don Fletcher said Wednesday the oral contraceptive method promised to be more efficient than existing technology for curbing roo numbers around Canberra such as vasectomies for males and injections for females because the fleet-footed marsupials would not need to be captured.
I’m pretty sure that natural selection developed a problem to this solution in the form of natural predators. Then I’m pretty sure that man became pretty efficient as an unnatural predator. You see, we invented these things called “guns” which impart very high velocity to small, but aerodynamic and dense masses. These high-energy, high momentum masses are not easily stopped by mammal flesh, thus causing damage and cessation of being. And dead animals don’t breed.
But apparently they want to develop contraceptives and the male kangaroos just don’t want nothin’ to do with condoms, which makes them like male humans in many ways. Apparently the kangaroos didn’t understand the condoms or how to put them on correctly. So when the researchers tried to interject and apply them when the moment was right, they effectively killed the mood and often earned swift kicks to the groin for their efforts. What a shitty job.
