3. Public nudity (for humans) is illegal in Britain. Hence the clothes.

4. Am I the only to notice that they're all white? I mean, isn't London a little more diverse than Utah?

9. What does it matter if there aren't any other races? The native population of the United Kingdom is caucasian. And does there always have to be a monkey with black fur and a monkey with white fur in other exhibits?

10. Except for the zoo setting, this is not an original idea. It's just Big Brother, without the house or the cameras.

    We humans just can't get enough of watching other humans.
