Who Would of Thought that Koko was a Breast Man?

Some jobs aren't worth it. But you sometimes don't know that until after you've started working at the place. For example, check out this bizarre story, Gorilla Foundation rocked by breast display lawsuit:

Two former employees of the Gorilla Foundation, home to Koko the "talking" ape, have filed a lawsuit contending that they were ordered to bond with the 33-year-old female simian by displaying their breasts.

Nancy Alperin and Kendra Keller, both of San Francisco, are taking on the Woodside nonprofit and its president, Francine "Penny" Patterson.

Their lawsuit, filed Tuesday in San Mateo County Superior Court, alleges sexual discrimination, wrongful termination in retaliation for reporting health and safety violations, and failure to pay overtime or provide rest breaks.

It seeks more than $1 million total in damages for the two women.

The suit follows complaints filed by Alperin and Keller in January with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, in which they gave identical reasons for why they were fired: "I refused to expose my breast to perform acts of bestiality with one of the gorillas."

The lawsuit goes into more detail.(more)

It seems that Koko has a history of this kind of behavior. Also, I would say the foundation has some issues. Check out this job posting that was odious enough to be noticed by Fuck That Job!:
