Fearing a second plane would crash into the <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/03/13/muni_hot_or_not.php">Muni Hot-or-Not item</a>, we braced ourselves for what was to come next.</p>

<p>Turns out they love it. And who wouldn't? It's awesome. When asked about Hot/Not, Kristen Holland, SFMTA spokesperson, offered SFist a green pimping statement:</p>

<blockquote>We think all our Muni customers, and anyone who rides transit, is made hot by using a <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/02/21/tour_the_bus_of.php">green sustainable form of transportation</a>.</blockquote>

<p>Aw.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[SF Zoo's Official Statement Released]]></title><description><![CDATA[(Why, yes, we do plan on running <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/12/25/tiger_kills_vis.php">this</a> into the ground.

<p>SF Zoo just released an official statement about yesterday's <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/12/26/how_to_survive.php">attack</a>, expressing their "deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the victim killed in the December 25, 2007." They also mention that it "is anticipated that the Zoo will reopen tomorrow from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.  For information please visit www.sfzoo.org."</p>

<p>While this fatal and accidental meeting of man and beast is devastating, we can only hope -- guiltily, of course -- that yesterday's tiger attack results in <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/c/a/2002/02/20/MN146402.DTL&amp;o=3">an appearance by four-on-the-floor</a> <a href="http://www.pier5law.com/nedra-ruiz.htm">Neda Ruiz </a> on behalf of Tatiana. Really, no fatal mauling story would be complete without her.</p>

<p>Anyway, check out the SF Zoo's full statement after the jump.</p>

<p><strong>Update</strong>: The SF zoo will remain closed tomorrow, December 27.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
