Gorilla loves looking at iPhone pictures of other gorillas

This video of a young man showing his iPhone to a gorilla at the zoo proves one thing: Animals, like celebrities, are just as addicted to technology—and pictures of their friends—as the rest of us.

Now we must pray that gorillas don’t grow too intelligent, for we know what happens when the apes rule the world.
