He showed a gorilla photos of other gorillas on his phone.

Published on Sep 6, 2015


There has been concern about the habitat and happiness of this gorilla. Please note that this gorilla (I believe he is named Jelani) is housed in an award winning 4 acre gorilla sanctuary in the Louisville Zoo. He is a Western Lowland Gorilla, a species classified as "critically endangered" by the I.U.C.N.

I like how the man and the gorilla settled in to look at photos together. Sad, though.



The toddler was superfluous to the moment.

I'll have to try to work around all the mindless slackers who are wandering the aisles mumbling incoherently into their phones as usual. But now I'll also have to find a way around the gang of gorillas taking selfies in the soup section.

The one thing that has made society significantly less social is all this "social" technology.

Electronic masturbation.

But seriously, the gorilla is cool. He's probably thinking

"Hey, I HAVE to sit here all day. I'm in a stinking cage. But what is wrong with YOU PEOPLE? You have the whole world available to you and all you want to do is take pictures of yourselves on those damn phones. Trust me. You're not that good looking."
