Well, the fake Euro song thing is pretty good. What do you have? So my thing has to do with a Chinese zoo.

So this gets posted on Weibo, and immediately people are like, that doesn't look like a bear at all. Yes. But the first theory is like, okay, it's not a bear. Maybe it's like another kind of animal. Maybe this is like a dog posing as a bear, which is only funny because like a decade ago, a different Chinese zoo got caught trying to pass off a dog as a lion. Wait, really? In one of their exhibits.

Yeah, a Tibetan mastiff, just like this big, furry, hairy dog. They had like, they sent off their lion for like whatever you send animals from zoos away for, and they replaced it with a dog. Yeah. And people called on, and they were furious. So at first, people on Weibo are like, OK, that's what's happening here. This is a rare breed of dog that they're trying to pass off as a bear.

But then somebody posts something to the internet, which is what everybody should have said the first time they saw this video, which is like, It doesn't look like a dog either. This doesn't look like an animal at all. This looks like a human in a bear costume. Exactly what it looks like is an ill-fitting mascot costume at a D3 football game.

It's just been plopped on a poor summer intern and thrown into the bear cage to pretend that they're a bear at this Chinese zoo.

So it creates such a controversy that eventually the zoo decides that it's going to respond to this hilarious accusation that it's putting humans into bear costumes and throwing them into cages. And what do they say? They respond in what I think is the best possible way, like the most unhinged way possible, which is they write a letter from the perspective of the bear...

And so I'm just going to read you part of that letter. Please, yes. Which the New York Times very helpfully translated in their article about the piece because I do not read Chinese characters. Or speak bear. Or speak bear. The letter says, this is the bear, bear named Angela, apparently, speaking.
