5 Sex Lessons From the Animal Kingdom
A recent study shows that deer mice are monogamous and have "superior stress tolerance and blood sugar regulation." That would make us think that for humans, a monogamous relationship would prove to offer health benefits, but what else can we learn from the animal kingdom?

Orangina Ad Treats Animals Like Objectified Women
I was looking through the list of the UK's most complained about ads, when I came across a doozie. In an Orangina ad that upset those sensitive to sexism, creatures with female features dance provocatively in the forest.

This following animation makes fun of his age, but really it's a testament to how well he's aged that he's still able to participate in this franchise — without, as they joke, a wheelchair or comfortable shoes!

Remember the walrus workout? Well, it seems to have gained popularity in the animal kingdom because we're now seeing monkeys exercise and pit bulls...well, they try. But I think we're barking up the wrong tree if we think we'll ever see a pit-bull do a sit-up.
