Who they're screwing is the person who buys it, but then who *would* buy an 8 dollar bottle of water? Maybe they deserve tap water. But a five star hotel in D.C. probably utilized the same laser technology that the Disneyland hotels do, where the cooler senses when something has been moved or removed. Sad fact: I've given this little blurb more consideration than I've given two hours of work. Real great guys.

Calling female cheetahs "sluts," their "duplicitous behavior" a sign of "infidelity" - all this is anthropomorphizing cheetahs. Cheetahs don't get "married" and make "vows" to their mates. And did anyone really do research into the "increasing the risk of exposure to parasites and diseases?" - or was this just an transference of the risks in human promiscuity? In fact, fidelity in any creature is a very very very rare occurence, and purely exists as a survival tactic. Clearly, as these scientists have found out - "infidelity" is a beneficial survival behavior for cheetahs.
