Pandas is dumb. Not only do they sometimes squish their young'uns, they (at least the ones in captivity) often don't even know how to mate! But a zoo in Thailand thinks they have the solution: porn.
"They don't know how to mate, so we need to show the male how through videos," project chief Prasertsak Buntrakoonpoontawee told the Reuters news service.
Chuang Chuang, the six-year-old male, will view films of other mating pandas when scientists judge him to be relaxed and receptive—perhaps just after a tasty dinner.
If all goes well, the racy video will be both instructional and inspirational, showing Chuang Chuang the reproductive ropes and causing him to see five-year-old Lin Hui in an entirely different light.
Porn - is there anything it can't do?

Yes, it's a cheap shot, but you expect that from me.

Although that reminds me - I do have a WTW story I have to work up. Check back tonight. It involves (no surprise here) meth and (BIG surprise here) nuclear secrets.
