The world can be a bleak place, that’s why John Oliver takes us to Bolivia, the home of the beloved dancing traffic zebra program. In Bolivia, dressing in a zebra suit is an actual job. Young people in costume, dance and direct traffic, and feel that they are getting their lives back on track while contributing to society. The friendly zebras are a hit with kids and adults alike.
We in the U.S. who desperately need some cheer can borrow from the Bolivian program, by adding zebras to our increasingly bleak news. The results are magical! There are few cheerless news moments that couldn’t be improved by one party or the other wearing a zebra head. Imagine an interview with Ben Carson – as the zebra. Paul Ryan and his budget proposals, should only be heard from inside of a zebra head. Are you wearing a revealing, yet horrible dress on the red carpet…Slip on a zebra head for the interview. One word – Trump…The possibilities are endless. Our daily dose of bad news, Sean Spicer – pictured…To do your job, you definitely need a zebra head!
