If I remember correctly, there have been nature documentaries (produced by PBS, if I remember right) where some of the bonobo footage was cut down on the aired version because it was just too much for the censors to handle.

also, they're not violent enough for prime time. even if they *did* get on, they wouldn't have the ratings

I think it is hilarious. Bonobo sex is seen as embarassing because they are far too human-like for the comfort of, mostly, the very people who don't think we were ever related to them.

No problem showing chimpanzee behavior - since they are often overtly violent, or at least agressive

chimps - make war, not love.

bonobos - make love, not war.

humans - make love AND war, take over the planet.
