Yeah, sorry.  That was a weak attempt at imparting some symbolism onto this video.

Forget the symbolism. This is just funny. The wiggling ears. The blue eye shadow. The zookeeper who gets “mauled.” The idea that a rampaging rhino would be stopped by flimsy netting. It’s all just so very, very silly.

More artifacts from an 80’s childhood; my aunt worked for Fleer, a candy company in Philly, and was always bringing us gifts like these. The plastic coffin was full of candy bones (in fact the lid reads “Mr. Bones”) that could be joined into a skeleton. The fire hydrant was full of candy dogs. Don’t recall what was in the locker.
