In “Furred Lines,” a group of dogs cover Robin Thicke’s summer anthem “Blurred Lines.” It’s not nearly as likely to be banned by YouTube as the original, but it may also go viral! In The Pet Collective’s furry, funny parody, suggestive “Blurred Lines” lyrics like “you’re a good girl” take on an entirely new meaning. Think about it. “Stay if you want it. Sit if you want it. Beg if you want it.” You’re an animal . Furred Lines – Dogs Cover Robin Thicke Dogs also recently covered the Miley Cyrus Twerking ballad “We Can’t Stop” with their own rendition ” We Can Bark .” We sense a theme here.
If the woman attacked by gang of cats story was the funniest of the day so far, this Neil Gaiman story is easily the best. Well, to geeks like myself at least. Legendary writer, Neil Gaiman, is bringing his talents to the world of gaming with Wayward Manor! Neil Gaiman Video Game Announcement Trailer The quality of storytelling in games has gone in waves through the years. For awhile you’d pick up a game and just couldn’t wait to get to the next chapter to see what happens next in the story. Then there were years where the only option really was to shoot everything in sight. With a writer of Gaiman’s caliber, we have to assume Wayward Manor would be categorized as the former rather than the latter. While Neil Gaiman and the design company, The Odd Gentlemen, aren’t going through Kickstarter or any other equivalent crowdfunding sites, they do have a collection of rewards for monetary support on the Wayward Manor website. You can pre-order the game (available on PC and Mac) for $10 and then there are additional items you can purchase such as a t-shirt and lithographs, and even a signed poster. Gaiman calls this a “first part” so there is added incentive to donate as we can hope there is plenty more gaming to come!
The stripper who saved $1 million in singles could be rewarded even more handsomely for her efforts if the 2008 GOP Presidential nominee has his way. John McCain is promoting the COINS Act, which would replace the $1 bill with a dollar coin, which would hopefully lead to bigger tips for exotic dancers. The real impetus is to save billions in printing costs, but The Hill actually asked McCain about a 2011 study suggesting strippers could suffer in a bill-less economy. For his part, the U.S. Senator from Arizona responded in stride in a Capitol Hill hallway: “Then I hope that they could obtain larger denominations.” McCain, 76, started answering questions from another reporter before a smile spread across his face and he shouted to The Hill , “Fives, tens, one hundreds!” McCain’s office did not respond to a request for comment. Officially called the Currency Optimization, Innovation, and National Savings Act, the COINS Act was clearly named just so it would spell out COINS. If passed, the bill would require all U.S. Federal Reserve banks to stop circulating paper $1 bills within five years of the COINS Act going into effect. Sounds like an awesome idea … just like the Sacagawea dollar that was introduced with great fanfare in 2000 and proved almost universally unpopular. Congress.
Trayvon Martin’s parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, spoke out this morning for the first time about last weekend’s George Zimmerman verdict . Tracy Martin told Today ‘s Matt Lauer: Trayvon Martin Parents Interview “We felt in our hearts that we were going to get a conviction. We thought that the killer of our unarmed child was going to be convicted of the crime that he committed.” Added Fulton, “I think (the legal system) failed Trayvon to a certain degree. I think we let the process take its course. We didn’t get the verdict that we were looking for.” “Our focus has continued to change. First it was for the arrest, then it was for a conviction. So now we’ve moved on to a different focus, but yes, I think we were disappointed.” Martin then added, “I just didn’t understand how can you let the killer of an unarmed child go free. What would your verdict have been had it been your child?” “There’s no winners in this case. It’s just I want them to put themselves in our shoes.” Fulton noted that the verdict sends “a terrible message to other little black and brown boys that you can’t walk fast, you can’t walk slow, so what do they do?” “How do you get home without people knowing or either assuming that you’re doing something wrong? Trayvon wasn’t doing anything wrong.” As for whether or not Trayvon’s parents can ever forgive Zimmerman, Martin simply said, “I think that the forgiveness is like a healing process.” “Forgiveness takes time. The Bible says that you have to forgive and forget, but the healing process is a long process and the forgiving process is a long process.” What do you think of the Zimmerman verdict? Did the jury get it right? Yes. The jury got it right. No. They blew it. View Poll »
Christian schools in Australia are taking the teenage sex problem by the proverbial horns. They have put together a pamphlet to give out to their students that include a few alternatives. Not totally sure it will get the job done. Now, I’m all for education and helping teens make informed decisions. Giving them ideas as to how to have a relationship while keeping it in their pants, these are good ideas. However, I don’t know that telling a seventeen year old to “pretend you are six again” is really the way to go. Full disclosure: I am far removed from my teenage years and when I was a teenager I was about as straight-laced as they come. However, even I would have rolled my eyes at a list that suggested that making lunch for the elderly was a substitute for sex. Blow bubbles in the park? Have a water fight? Go fruit picking? Yes, these sound like fine activities but never would I think to list those on a sex-alternatives pamphlet. Then there are some that aren’t even activities I would suggest in general, ever. Sharing a drink with two straws? Have they not ever heard of germs? Backwash? That’s just gross. Visit the ASPCA? Have they ever seen those sad dogs in there? Teenagers would end up with a house full of adopted puppies! The best though is the suggestion that instead of sex, teenagers surprise their parents by having sex, I mean, cleaning the house. Cleaning the house. There just aren’t words. Good luck with that Australia!
Robert Pattinson may or may not be desperately missing Kristen Stewart . But he’s definitely posing in a bathtub in the following sneak peek at the actor’s Dior campaign! The A-lister signed a reported $12 million deal with the brand in March, with fans being promised ” sexually explicit ” ads featuring the Twilight Saga stud. We’re not really sure if this qualifies, considering R. Patt is fully dressed, but he is smiling at some shapely figure by his side. Or at least her bare foot. Might the next scene go a lot further? “A new story is about to start,” reads the Tweet from Dior that accompanied this pic. “Robert Pattinson for Dior Homme Parfum. #DiorRob.” Consider us intrigued.
This local news segment offers the bear necessities when it comes to warding off a giant ursine creature in the woods. Or any other living thing for that matter. Following a story about a man who faced down a bear, reporter Julie Tremmel of Providence, R.I.’s local NBC affiliate WJAR did a segment on bear safety.

Dart your eyes wildly, side to side, and wave your hands in the air like you just don’t care! Then curl up in the dirt as the confused animal laughs, concludes it probably isn’t worth the trouble, shakes his head and ambles back into the forest.

That’s downright adorable! The one photo we do have of Kardashian as a mother does, indeed, depict her in a dreaming state.
