Women flock to Japan zoo to see 'hunky' gorilla

A giant gorilla with brooding good looks and rippling muscles is causing a stir at a Japanese zoo, with women flocking to check out the hunky pin-up.

Shabani, an 18-year-old silverback who tips the scales at around 180 kilograms (400 pounds), has become the star attraction at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, striking smouldering poses the movie model in "Zoolander" would be proud of.

"He often rests his chin on his hands and looks intently at you," zoo spokesman Takayuki Ishikawa told AFP on Friday.

There is a guy in Japan who sells Kit Kats on Amazon. For those of you that don’t know, Nestle makes a wide variety of Kit Kats for sale in Japan. Strawberry, Green Tea, Cheesecake, etc.

The guy sends a pic of himself with his Star Wars stuff with every bag of candy. Not sure why he does it. I just find it funny.

Kiyomizu Temple is one of the most beautiful in all of Japan.

Featuring ‘Star Wars’ crapola there is more than a little nutty, even for what is arguably a culturally nutty nation.
