So we've been told by news programs and eyewitnesses that the pandas at Ueno Zoo have been snacking and dining instead of diligently procreating, and now Tokyo's best-loved cubs from China are too hefty to do much more than lie around and chew. Bad.
They'd do better to follow the example of another Panda named Po — who three years ago got out of the eating rut and became a martial arts master under the inspired tutelage of a small, elderly kung fu master fox named Master Shifu in "Kung Fu Panda."
Not that this dramatic change in lifestyle altered the size of Po's girth. If anything, Po in "Kung Fu Panda 2" is even larger than the charming chap we saw back in 2008 — which confirms my suspicions that workouts don't do jack for you (especially around the thighs). But I digress.
