Meow!

Last Friday the Guardian published a story sure to boost sales for Calvin Klein.

Zookeepers at the Bronx Zoo in New York have discovered that the scent of Calvin Klein’s Obsession for Men is irresistable to Jaguars. Young men should be cautioned, a similar effect hasn’t been studied among cougars.

Now, scientists are using the cologne to lure big cats of the Guatemalan jungle near camera traps in an effort to better study them. Researchers say that the scent has elicited “cheek-rubbing behavior” from the cats. Whoah. If this doesn’t spur a new marketing campaign from CK, I’m going to lose a bet.

There are a few dirtier jokes to be wrung out of this story but I better stop here. If you’ve got some Obsession in the medicine cabinet, dab a little on and let us set the mood:
