People do really stupid fucking things at times

[CatWoman]

I'm trying my best to understand why that woman jumped into the polar bear enclosure at the zoo.

I'm trying real hard here.......

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. She was planning on holding it for ransom.

[NNN0LHI]

2. Hasn't someone asked her yet?

I am curious myself now.

Don

[AllieB]

3. Was she drunk/stoned/insane?

They're beautiful from a distance but they are fierce predators.

[B o d i]

4. Someone told her she had the right to bear arms

but the bear wasn't done with them yet.

[Patsy Stone]

5. She nuts?

I'm just guessing here.

:hi:

[MADem]

6. She was either mentally ill or developmentally delayed.

Or simply stupid as all get-out.

Maybe she had a fixation with Knut...he was the one that bit chunks out of her.

Awwwww....




AAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!

[CatWoman]

9. nope

Knut was the only bear who didn't take part in the attack.

[MADem]

13. Oh my--I sit corrected!

Fellow polar bear Knut, the German zoo's most famous attraction, was feet away throughout the attack but was reportedly not involved.

7. same reason why Ann Coulter writes books

[CatWoman]

11. did you see the Family Guy episode, in which Lois went to work

at Fox News?

:hi:

[spag68]

28. AC

If she fell into the bear den, all she would have to do is turn sideways and the bears could not see her.

[Skittles]

30. they'd see her tasty Adam's Apple

yes INDEED

[The Hope Mobile]

38. same reason people buy her books

[Webster Green]

8. She's either extremely uninformed or mentally ill..

It's really hard to be shocked anymore. Each new day is weirder than the last. :shrug:

[C_U_L8R]

10. trying to prove there is something dumber than teabagging?

not sure she made her point but it was an energetic effort

[flamingdem]

12. she sure looked like a tasty morsel

a mid afternoon snack!

[MichaelHarris]

14. Her name is Mandy

Oh

Mandy

well you came and you jumped and almost got eaten

But only got bitten

oh Mandy

Well you slipped and fell back in and still didn't eaten

And I watched it today

oh Mandy.



Man I'm going to hell on the short bus

[Tangerine LaBamba]

16. Take a bow!

That was positively inspired, and you have now officially broken the hearts of all those women who believe romance novels are real life.

Front row seat, I'd say ............

[Tangerine LaBamba]

17. Delete - wrong place - oooops!

[MichaelHarris]

19. LOL thanks

I had a moment

[Arugula Latte]

24. Oh my god, you are sick!

And I love and appreciate sick! :D

:applause:

[MichaelHarris]

25. :)

:)

[Canuckistanian]

32. Bravo! Bravo!

And anyways, the short bus is a sweet ride to some.

[Mopar151]

39. We're all bozos on this bus

but this bus don't go to war.

[onehandle]

15. I pushed her.

And I'd do it again.

[CatWoman]

22. ROFL!!

God, that's funny -- as I didn't expect that!!

:hi:

[Occam Bandage]

18. Because Europeans were dumping waste in the gift shop. nt

[MadMaddie]

20. My guess she thought that Polar Bears are warm, fuzzy and

cuddly....that would be indicated by her swimming in glee toward the Polar Bears....

ummmm.....during their carnivorous feeding time.......

and then the shot of her getting bit and trying to flee the Polar Bear (feeding time)environment......

In nature sometimes the slower, not so swift animals end up as dinner....

Just sayin...she is lucky she survived.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

21. Ewwwwww..........

I keep thinking of what's in that water, and the lovely infections that were immediately in her wounds ............

<gagging>

[mrcheerful]

23. She came into heat and the wovles weren't interested?

Humans are about the dumbest critters on da planet, they see these wild animals in zoo's and think they are human friendly so they are not in danger if they go near them.

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. The bear was polar, she was Bipolar, so................

[Duer 157099]

27. Now, maybe I'm being too naive here, but...

I watched the video, and it looked to me like they really just wanted to play with her.

No doubt she'd have been hurt, but I'll bet they were not going to tear her to pieces and eat her.

She probably thought the same.

[texastoast]

29. Polar bears biting their own is playing

Which is fine, if you are covered with thick fur. Very, very thick.

Duh, Mandy.

[The Straight Story]

31. She was being chased by pirates

:)

[CatWoman]

34. ba da DUM!!

:)

[woo me with science]

33. Attempted suicide by polar bear?

Someone did that at our zoo once.

[Berry Cool]

35. OP answered the question right in the thread title.

What more need be said?

[MrSlayer]

36. Don't Feed the Bears - M.O.D.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkTrzavGmIw

You have to prove
That you're not scared
Enter the cage
Take the dare
Screaming death
In the beast's lair
You couldn't read the sign
DON'T FEED THE BEARS

Don't go in there
You best beware

Don't feed the bears

Stupid fool
You should have known
That's some place you shouldn't go
Polar giant on you
Blood starts to flow
They belong not in a cage
But in the fucking snow!

Don't go in there
You best beware

And please don't feed the fucking bears!

[madamesilverspurs]

37. The same reason

that some people voted for Bush. Twice.








With pretty much the same result.

[TorchTheWitch]

40. She said she wanted to go swimming - kid you not

Video on this page (upper right corner entitled "Bear Attack Raises Safety Concerns") that reports the woman said she wanted to go swimming, she gave false names when questioned and hospital staff thought she was mentally unstable. Also says that once released from the hospital she'll be sent somewhere for psych evaluation.
