Fighting panda extinction

Pandas are popular, for some reason. And they're going extinct, I think. But the media won't let them go without fawning over them every step of the way.

"Panda Cub Tickets Going Quickly"

The zoo had expected the tickets to be "extremely popular, but I don't think we expected quite this amount so quickly," [Friends of the National Zoo spokesman Matt] Olear told WRC-TV. "We're just asking people to be patient, and bear with us. Just keep trying."

Please, let's not have any riots triggered by a shortage of panda-viewing tickets.
