This is all fucked up. Here is my translation of the article from the danish public service, Danmarks Radio:
Quote:Quote:
The big silverback-gorilla from Givskud Zoo is a hit with the female guests.
Have the danish man become too weak and too metrosexsual? Something might indicate it, in any case the male gorilla in Givskud Zoon is so much "man", that he gets love letters from his female audience.
- Givskud Zoo have sometime found it necessary to remove steaming hot declarations of love by women from its facebook page. And sometimes employees have heard wife's tell their husbands, "look, there's a real man". The Zoo even have a small collection of love letters to Samson from his female guests.
Myth about maiden prowl
Jesper Kurt Nielsen has examined human relationship with gorillas in the context of the National Museums "DatingNight" tonight, where the focus is on courtship, sex, and flirt throughout the times.
And exactly the gorilla has though the times been a strong symbol for the dark and untamed Africa and linked to dangerous erotic fantasies. Not to mention hollywood filmproductions of King Kong.
- In a time where men have been emasculated there is still a need for a real man. And that's Samson. He has become the center for our fantasies and dreams of something that doesn't exist currently, namely the real man, says Jesper Kurt Nielsen.
The King Kong film is a good example for the European myth from the previous century, that was about maiden prowl [unsure about translation] - where gorillas would raid a village and kidnap women.
Samson wants human females
Samson is so popular that he has his own facebook page, where he has over 11.000 fans.
And on youtube, Givskud Zoo have put a clip where you can see that the love is mutual - Samson has fallen for the Psychologist Jill Byrnit, that however doesn't believe it is a good thing.
- He is too interested in human females. He leaves his own herd of female gorillas to follow me around, and that is too much, she says in the clip.
