That is an as-yet-unnamed-but-obviously-world’s-cutest variety of octopus that’s been found by a new expedition to the dark depths off Newfoundland. I suggest “Octo-Newf” as it is both geographically specific and way cute. As we’ve mentioned before, cute is critical in our contemporary media climate. You’ve gotta have a gimmick if you hope to knock Boat Smashing Whale off the evening news.

Rather mortifying to see that my post on Buzzfeed AND my post on Tumblr are both outranking this one. But hey, that’s how it goes.
I just wish I had come up with a better title. It’s too cute for that name!

“Sanrio presents Hello Kitty’s new friend, Tako-Tako!”

He’s Canadian: probably only the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Could this possibly be the world’s cutest Canadian (next to myself and Michael J Fox, of course)?
