Round One! Polar bear vs. stupid woman! FIGHT!
Chad Concelmo \| 3:32 PM on 04.13.2009	56 comments

Remember Knut, the cutest German polar bear cub since God invented cute German polar bear cubs? Well, some crazy ass woman jumped in the water surrounding his pen at the Berlin Zoo this past weekend.

Yup. I’m not kidding. The woman jumped in to swim with the cute looking bear because she thought it was a good idea.

Guess what happened?

THE POLAR BEARS TRIED TO EAT HER!!

Here are some freaky (although secretly amazing) pictures of what went down.

"Oh look, it's Knut! HE'S SO CUTE!"

"I LOVE YOU, KNUT!"

"OMG KNUT, WHY?! WHY?!"

A crowd full of facepalms.

And here is video of kind zoo patrons trying to pull her bloody, mauled body out of the water.

Seriously? Did this really happen? Is there a woman out there this idiotic? I can understand if she fell in for some strange reason, but, no, the woman actually willingly jumped in because she loves Knut.

Ugh.

I guess the moral of the story is this: When at the zoo, DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE!

The best part is that everyone has their camera out snapping pictures for the first part.

Sometimes you feel like being eaten by a Knut, sometimes you don't... Starring John Goodman as dual roles as Knut the polar bear and the crazy fat chick.

The first picture is just so amazing on so many different levels.

Justice says:
(# 4) on 04/13/2009 15:59

Is that actually Knut taking her on? Damn those polar bears grow up quick!

I have a good feeling that the woman smelt like fish before hand, and this made the polar bears even more intrigued!

She's lucky those bears didn't absolutely destroy her like they could have. The world at large however, would've been a better place if they had.

Chad Concelmo says:
(# 7) on 04/13/2009 16:08

@Justice,
Actually, I think Knut is just in the background. The one doing most of the attacking is one of his friends. Knut is still huge now, though. It's weird. :)

Jah Knut JAAAAAH! I love how peaceful the bear looks holding the ripped of shirt. Hahaha! I have a weaks spot for animals attacking humans.

This is the type of shit Geraldo Beedog should be reporting on!

ALSO:

Stupid. Fucking. Bitch.

Chad ... can you punch her in the face plzzzzz???

This was amazing

Projectexodus says:
(# 12) on 04/13/2009 16:17

Apparently this woman had a mental breakdown. Don't be so hash on her...

JoZo says:
(# 13) on 04/13/2009 16:19

You should see how crazy it is at this one mexican restaurant, the line is so long it juts out of the freaking entrance and starts traffic!! WTH IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR HUNGER FOR ALL THINGS CHICKEN. Its pretty anger inducing...

Jordan Grim Devore says:
(# 14) on 04/13/2009 16:21

That first picture is absolutely hilarious. I'm going to print it out and keep it in a drawer. Then, whenever I feel sad, I can instantly become happy again by pulling the photo out.

Oh, and I love your avatar, Kraid.

Chad Concelmo says:
(# 15) on 04/13/2009 16:31

@Projectexodus,
Really? Now I feel bad.

Subenu says:
(# 16) on 04/13/2009 16:35

@Chad Concelmo
Yes, the german commentary actually states that she is obviously "geistig verwirrt" meaning she is mentally confused/ill.

RonBurgandy2010 says:
(# 17) on 04/13/2009 16:40

AMAZING!

ZombiePlatypus says:
(# 18) on 04/13/2009 16:41

Mental breakdown or no, she did something extremely stupid.

Ballistic says:
(# 19) on 04/13/2009 16:43

I can't blame the woman, I would do the same thing. I love Knut, my life and limbs be damned!

-PL- says:
(# 20) on 04/13/2009 16:45

Mentally ill people are not immune to natural selection.

...Wow.

Atlas says:
(# 22) on 04/13/2009 16:51

Hahaha, she was so happy until they started mauling her....

seltzermx says:
(# 23) on 04/13/2009 16:57

mental breakdown or not, its Darwinism at work. Do we really need her offsrping jumping in at the zoo to pet the cuddly lions in 20 years?

SephirothX says:
(# 24) on 04/13/2009 17:03

Am I the only person who would have just left her in the pool? Or am I an asshole?

....or both?

PappaDukes says:
(# 25) on 04/13/2009 17:04

"Wait, is it feeding time yet?? It is!? Perfect, I'm jumping in."

ThunderHeartXI says:
(# 26) on 04/13/2009 17:07

I really wish that this woman had been mauled to death. Or at least to the point where she isn't able to reproduce. Call me a sadist but people this fucking stupid should not exist.

SephirothX says:
(# 27) on 04/13/2009 17:14

What is sad is equally stupid people will blame the polar bears for attacking her and demand they are euthanized.

Jack Kelly says:
(# 28) on 04/13/2009 17:17

lol at the safety ring breaking! How is it polar bears still look sooo cute whilst attacking people!?

The-Excel says:
(# 29) on 04/13/2009 17:17

@SephirothX:
If that happens I will attend this bear's funeral. It is a World Hero.

The-Excel says:
(# 30) on 04/13/2009 17:19

Also I love the linked news article's title. "Polar Bear Nightmare". Sounds like an awful horror movie that's so bad it's fun.

IroN1c says:
(# 31) on 04/13/2009 17:26

Yep, being german I can confirm that the commentary says that she was mentally ill and the bear was not Knut.

Still funny, though.

Projectexodus says:
(# 32) on 04/13/2009 17:34

@Zeltzermx
Mental breakdowns is not inheritary, and can happen to anyone if they're exposed to enough pressure. So just because their mom did it, does not mean that her children will do the same. Now you are just being stupid!

There are only a few specific kinds of mental disorders that can be inherited, and that usually comes from deficency in the production of the hormone serotonin. This could lead to anxiety's, depressions, and OCD. What she suffered of, was clearly not the case of any of these.

Half left says:
(# 33) on 04/13/2009 17:34

I recall seeing this on the news.

HAHAHAHAHA

Stupid fat moron. She deserved to be eaten.

Couldn't even hold her weight when they were trying to help her get out.

DaedHead8 says:
(# 34) on 04/13/2009 17:35

Hahah, I'm at work and I had just opened this blog and someone just walked by, saw what I was reading and said "Can you believe she was stupid enough to jump in?" I love it when the real world collides with the internet, even if it is just over a news story.

seigfreid says:
(# 35) on 04/13/2009 17:54

They should have converted her into a polar bear.

Stella Wong says:
(# 36) on 04/13/2009 18:08

ahaha what a dumbass, I can't believe that someone would jump in a pen full of polar bears. I like my polar bears but I wouldn't jump into their pen uninvited. :<

Dexter345 says:
(# 37) on 04/13/2009 18:17

Hopefully the bear punched her in the ovaries so she can't reproduce.

falinter says:
(# 38) on 04/13/2009 18:35

holy christ poor hungry bear! :(

Puppy Licks says:
(# 39) on 04/13/2009 18:50

this is the most epic shit ever

BenHaskett says:
(# 40) on 04/13/2009 18:54

That is just too good to be true.

Usedtabe says:
(# 41) on 04/13/2009 19:00

As soon as I read "woman" I understood everything.

I kid....or do I?

But seriously, what a dumb fuck. It would have been so much better if she was a member of PETA or ALF trying to "liberate" the bear.

seltzermx says:
(# 42) on 04/13/2009 19:18

@Projectexodus: I think you meant hereditary. And it can also be a prodcut of their environment. If the kids are placed under the care of such an unstable person, what can you expect?

doctor insidious says:
(# 43) on 04/13/2009 20:49

WTF? a lady in polar bear territoy, and she got ATTACKED? They should add the word "provoked" to that video!

Naim Master says:
(# 44) on 04/14/2009 00:29

Chad , do you have a problem with Zoophilia ?And if she DOES love Knut? Do you have a problem with sadomasoquistic love bblooming between a polar bear and a fat chick? OK , that's it , I'll sue you , racist bastard !

Fleet3000 says:

NOOOOOOOO.....

I'm with Grim, I saw the pic on cnn.com and just lol'd. Stupid german woman, that will teach her for invading Holland in WW2.

ParaParaKing says:
(# 47) on 04/14/2009 08:20

I hate Knut so much. SO VERY MUCH!
