Yes, I’m in advertising. But some things just aren’t meant to be. The New York Times features a growing "medium" for local businesses – paying private SUV and truck owners to wrap their vehicles in advertisements. It’s like "Pimp my Ride" meets local television commercials meets a world before pop-up blockers (ugh, yuck, bleck).

Makes me want to either:
(a) throw up, or
(b) make my millions on the first human adaptation of horse blinders

Harper’s Bazaar’s August 2007 issue features this season’s couture…as modeled by The Simpsons.
This is just. So. Great. Thanks to our dear friends at  NotCot for the tip.
Mmmmmmmm. Marge.

Zionist Crusader Spy Squirrels Infiltrate Iran?

How, exactly, does one arrest a squirrel? Little tiny handcuffs?

Can’t you just see police dogs all over the world, staring into little mirrors at their little lockers, psyching up?
"O.K. Officer Scraps, this is what we trained for…"

And you? Oh, we’re watching you, pal.

OK, so perhaps we were feeling a mite cocky yesterday.

Maybe we had a bit of fun at our friends’ expense.

But today, we learned via the BBC (highly superior to any newsgathering organizations over here,) that the British Army apparently has highly-trained cadres of Honey Badgers at their command.

As you can see from the picture above, the Honey Badger is anything but sweet. It’s a compact ball of razor-toothed fury, able to rip through flesh and bone the way most of us would go through, say, a box of chocolate-covered bacon. In fact, several African tribes report that the honey badger has a nasty habit of attacking "the scrotum of larger mammals if provoked and has even castrated humans."

Eep.

Just a bit of kidding there, eh, Guv’nor? Jolly good laugh, eh, wot?   
Hello? Hello?

Hmmm. In an even more ominous development, the British apparently have a long tradition of Badger-Based Warfare.
