911 activity book, fun for the whole inbred family

Not making it up. Via Gawker.

911 activity book! Fun for the whole family!

I wish I could tell you that this is a tacky parody. Please note that it is appropriate “for ages 4 & up.” I think we can all agree that any commentary I might write seems unnecessary. Yes, we live here. Aum.

in case of emergency, break space/time continuum

We’re the last of the superheros. When the world is really screwed up, who do they count on to settle things down?

Canadians.

We’ll be getting the call from Beirut any day now.

Let no nation claim a monopoly on jingoistic superheroism. Right, Robin?

From Yes, Another Liberal:

I say we fight back with puppies
 
If they’re going to come at us with kittens, it’s the only way.

Puppy Kitty Civil Unions? 

Or go all out and use puppies running through fields of flowers.

Puppy/Kitten counterstrike

If that fails we go nuclear, and give them puppies cuddling with kittens

The Puppy Kitty Coalition!

raincoaster, of course, went straight to Defcon P in the illustrations.

Cute ’em all, let God sort ’em out.

microbrew goes to the dogs

It had to happen. Not content with spoiling Fido with doggie spas, treadmills, massages, claw polish (they’re not nails, people, they’re claws) and vegan FFS dog food, pet owners now have a brand-spankin’ new way to pretend Rover is the child they never (thank GOD) had.

Premium beer.

From Gawker, via the Hellmouth, obviously.

In Union Square this morning, Heartland Brewery debuted the latest addition to their collection of oddly flavored beers: Slobber Lager, the beer just for dogs. In honor of the ASPCA‘s October fundraiser, rescued pooches were treated to Heartland’s special, non-alcoholic brew that smelled something like raw beef rotting in flood water (which, come to think of it, is an improvement over O’Doul’s). Exactly what Fido loves. As a bonus, Slobber Lager is less carbonated than regular human beer, so as to avoid any bloated chihuahua explosions.

Damn. One wonders, one does, what they would recommend for the morning after an overindulgence: hair of the human?

T.V. star no tv star nomore!

TV!It’s hard enough to get a job nowadays, let alone keep it, particularly when you work as the host of a children’s program on PBS and have a past as the public face of Technical Virginity.

From the AP:

The PBS Kids Sprout network has fired the host of “The Good Night Show” after learning she had appeared in videos called “Technical Virgin.”

The host, Melanie Martinez, had alerted network officials about one of the videos late last week and she was immediately taken off the air.

PBS Kids Sprout airs children’s programming 24 hours a day and is seen in about 20 million of the nation’s 110 million television homes. “The Good Night Show” has been temporarily replaced by cartoons while a search is conducted for a new host.

But can you really replace this earnest, informative PSA:
