Freaky Drama Cat!

This cat is very strange... but I've watched this video ten times in a row and I still find it hilarious! 

Happy Birthday Captain Planet!

Captain Planet premiered on September 15th 1990.  Happy Birthday best super hero ever.  This was definitely one of my favorite cartoons growing up.. and they did an awesome job getting a message across.. super corny of course but that is why it is the best.

In Love With Peta Ads

While I don't always agree with the extremes that PETA takes to make a statement-  I do always agree with their awesome, mostly sexy and sometimes humorous ads.  Here are some of my favorites promoting vegetarianism, spaying and neutering, and boycotting fur.  Enjoy!  :)

Hug a Vegetarian Day is September 24th!!

September 24th is HUG A VEGETARIAN DAY!!  I better be receiving lots of hugs that day... in fact- I am expecting two hugs from each person since not only am I vegetarian... but even more extreme, now I am vegan. 

I haven't eaten meat in over five years, and I don't miss it one bit.  For those of you still eating the flesh (lol) you may want to check out these awesome reasons to pledge to go veg. 

1.  Research has shown that vegetarians are 50 percent less likely to develop heart disease
2.  Vegetarians are 40 percent less likely to develop cancer compared to meat-eaters.
3.  The consumption of meat, eggs, and dairy products has also been strongly linked to osteoporosis,      Alzheimer's, asthma, and male impotence.
4.  Vegetarians and vegans live, on average, six to 10 years longer than meat-eaters.
5.  Save the Environment.  "Each year, the nation's factory farms, collectively produce 2 billion tons of manure, a substance that's rated by EPA as one of the country's top 10 pollutants.”
6.  Save the Animals!!!!  So many animals are abused and mistreated in the farming industry.  Boycott the factory farmers- or at the very least- buy local and organic. 

Hug A Vegetarian Day 2010

Harry Potter Theme Park?!?

OMG.  Universal Studios Orlando is opening a Harry Potter Theme Park inside their Islands of Adventure Park.  Finally the wizarding world is opening for us muggles, lol.   Not only will you be able to walk around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, but you can eat at the Three Broomsticks and check out other Hogsmeade shops!  All my dreams are coming true!  The grand opening is scheduled for June 18th, 2010. 

Seriously, WTF! Woman set dogs on fire?

Disgusting, terrible, horrendous, evil.  Just some of the words that come to mind when thinking about the woman who set her dogs on fire.  A 36 year old woman, Katherine Brotherton, from Indiana admitted to police that she set her two dogs on fire, thinking it was the most humane way to destroy them.  She was angry with them for biting her (even though they look super sweet) so she put them in a plastic barrel, poured gasoline on them and set them on fire.  WTF!  That is some really messed up shit.  The dogs are recovering thank God.  Poor little lambs.  This is one miserable human being.  Do us all a favor Katherine- set yourself on fire bitch.

 

Elephant with Slippers Put Down :(

Carrying around so much weight really takes a toll on your feet.  Gay the elephant knew all about that burden.  I posted a story about her awhile back, and I thought it was awesome that the zookeepers cared for her so much to have custom made slippers for her sore feet.  Apparently, the slippers didn't help that much.  Gay was put down recently due to the uncontrollable absesses that developed on her feet.  After trying everything from consulting experts, seeking treatments and making her special shoes, the staff at the Paignton Zoo decided to end Gay's suffering.  Elephants are such beautiful creatures and I feel for the people and the animals that loved Gay for so many years.  Rest in Peace sweetie!  (photo courtesy of BBC)
