"The zoo keeper says he organized the event as a way for animals (specifically: monkeys and penguins) to have more interest in the Olympics."

From yesterday’s Oddball segment of Countdown:

And finally, speaking of winter games, we are just days away now from the opening ceremonies of the 2004 winter Olympics in Athens, Greece. All right. I know. Summer Olympics, please don’t tell that to those whacky South Koreans. They are celebrating the event by dressing up as penguins, or dressing up penguins in the national team jersey. And they’ve got monkeys, too. Look, monkeys! It’s South Korea’s animal in English, animal cheerleading team. The zoo keeper says he organized the event as a way for animal to have more interest in the Olympics. No, really. He actually said that. And the zoo keeper is still walking around without his own keeper.

I only wish they had the video posted. That’s a transcript of a voiceover and it really lacks something without the surreal imagery.
