Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFresno Chaffee Zoo has launched its annual Safari Night Gala Silent Auction, according to KMPH, and the video desk has file footage of a tiger to mark the occasion.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA silent auction is bidding conducted entirely on paper. I have seen it end in less quiet than a treaty.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRoll it. This is not the zoo's tiger, it's a stand-in from the archive, and look at him come forward past the fence.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe walks like a man with unlimited funds and no interest in the catalog.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWatch this. He's closing on the frame edge and the stripes are not even rushing. Run it back.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYes, run it back. Again.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentViral Score: nine. He walked up to the camera, placed no bid, and left with nothing and a clean exit.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI do not care about the score. But no one else here leaves a gala without a tote bag.
