Knut is a total diva

No, that's not a typo. Remember Knut, the cute little polar bear cub in the Berlin Zoo? This lil' fella?

Awwww! Well, he's not so cute a year later. In fact, one of his keepers says Knut is totally knuts:

Markus Roebke said Berlin Zoo's celebrity animal was obsessed with the limelight and howled with rage when denied an audience.

"Knut must go and the sooner the better," he said, insisting that the bear should be sent to an animal park where he received less attention...

"He actually cries out or whimpers if he sees that there is not a spectator outside his enclosure ready to ooh and aah at him..."

Mr. Roebke is not the only observer to question Knut's sanity. In January, a prominent animal conservationist branded him "an animal psychopath".

Aren't bears pretty psycho to begin with? I mean, they're bears. And what's so bad about crying and whimpering when nobody's looking at him? Mariah Carey does the same thing and we just throw more money at her.

LEAVE KNUT ALONE!!!!

I know the reincarnation math doesn't quite work out, but I think there's something there.
