There is a new guy at work by the name of Julius. The name is not at all appropriate for him, and I feel obligated to strip him of it and apply the name to someone else who for whom it is more fitting. Sadly, in this office, there is no one who qualifies. I could be Julius, but shit is complicated enough already.

Are you cheering for rainforests, even when nobody is looking?

Are you prepared to talk to your parents, schoolteachers and even government officials about how important it is for rainforests to be saved for Kidz in future generations?

Is there a spark of hope in your eye that something can be done by Kidz to save endangered animals in the Amazon?

Congratulations!
You're an EnviroKidz!

I am not sure that I have ever seen a gorilla as profoundly deranged as the gorilla in the picture on the left. He is going to eat the fuck out of that cereal and derive a primal sexual satisfaction from doing so. That much is certain. At this point, everything else is mere conjecture. ("Even when nobody is looking?")

I have not had Gorilla Munch, but Orangutan-O's are okay.
