So THAT'S How They Help Save the Pandas?

OK, so after reading this Yahoo News story, I am just brimming with questions here. So someone put on a panda wedding ceremony...so who catered it and what was served? What did they wear, and did they seek the bears' input before selecting their wardrobe? Was there music? What about the reception? Then after the "marriage", was there marriage counseling before the trial separation? Did the same person who arranged the "wedding" somehow sense problems in panda land and think this would be a good way to arrange some "makeup" panda sex? Last but not least, the adult panda videos they showed...um, just wow. Besides National Geographic, who thinks of filming something like that? Is there a market or industry of these kinds of videos? Was there music there too, and exactly what type of music brings back that lovin' feeling for pandas? Are there panda fluffers? Last but not least, who on earth thought up and performed the research that purports to show that pandas didn't learn or benefit from watching such videos, and what variables were measured to determine whether or not the pandas liked the videos or put them to good use? These are the things I think of when I read stories like this...like George Carlin says, I didn't ask for this, I'm just a vessel. :)

"Cutting out carbs is only the latest tactic used by the zoo in the hope of giving Chuang Chuang and Lin Hui a more loving feeling.

The two have been separated since December, in the hope absence will make their hearts grow fonder, Kannika said.

A plan to show them "panda porn" videos to coach them in mating techniques has been put on hold after research indicated that not all pandas learn from such videos.

Chiang Mai held an elaborate, traditional Chinese wedding for the couple in 2005 in the hope of encouraging them to procreate, and is considering bringing in a snow machine to help recreate a mountainous habitat.

But with the annual panda mating season due to begin within weeks, the zoo is preparing to try artificial insemination if the natural method does not work, Kannika said."
