Keith Olbermann just ran the French video, described it as a gag but
then confided to his audience that "people really do dress up as
animals and go to hotels where they hang out with other people dressed
as animals. I hate to tell you this, but it's true." (Some
paraphrasing there.) He also described it as a real-life version of
MOnty Python's Mouse Party sketch.

Thanks a lot Keith; I think I'll watch Bill O'Reilly from now on....

Ever listen to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" on NPR? Every week they
have 3 different news items - only 1 of them is real & one of the
contestants has to guess which one. Yesterday this was the real one -
the panelist didn't pick it.
