    Yeah I’m not seeing the outrage on this one. It’s The Economist. They discuss the economy. If Animals Monthly did a piece on the conflict, I’d expect it to be pretty focused on the impact to animals, and I don’t think that means they’re minimizing the humanitarian aspects of the conflict.

      The Economist is also known for attempts at “wit” in some of their headlines. The title is surely riding the line of satire intentionally.

      I really want a prescription to Animals Monthly. That’s sounds fucking sick. I love animals. I love months. Edit:don’t you dare correct me. This ain’t fucking Reddit.

          Holy shit. I forgot all about zoo books. I’m 38. I remember those goddamn things and they were just as awesome in person as they were on the infomercials

        Eat three elephants and one snake daily. If you’re still getting stomachaches, call me.

          I’d rather deal with my hemorrhoids than eat an elephant, you monster.
