#2 "There are many activities which animals engage in which are common to wildlife documentary stories but which are rendered extremely private in the human realm.

"Mating, giving birth, and dying are recurring characteristics in nature documentaries, but the human version of these activities remains largely absent from broadcasting."

And yeah, what C.B. said in #6. Morons. Is there anything in England that isn't a cross between The Onion and A Clockwork Orange?
