Milwaukee County Zoo gets an "Idol" shout out

A large chunk of America just saw the Milwaukee County Zoo get a shout out on the "American Idol" finale. There's a bushbaby that was lucky enough to be sponsored by the Fox show and it's got a special name: Simon. An "AI" hopeful was told by the nasty British judge that he looked like a bushbaby, so in honor of the special Golden Idol Award, Simon the bushbaby was announced to the country.

I bet the Zoo gets a boost in visitors thanks to the mention, too.
