We normally try to stay away from “cute” animal posts here on DM, but this cat who looks freakishly like Batman (I mean, just look at him!) was simply unavoidable.

A hilarious and clever recreation of Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up”... cat style.
Update: This is actually a video for Superchunk’s “Crossed Wires” which someone re-edited and set to Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up.”

This little bird was photographed by Nicola Giacomelli earlier this afternoon, apparently advertising cat food, at the local Co-operative store in Brodick.

Where does one even begin with this 1988 Swedish action movie called Animal Protector starring David Carradine?
You don’t. You just watch the trailer in awe and ask for MOAR.
Update: This trailer is now out on the web because of the upcoming release of Drafthouse Films’ rare as hell exploitation trailer compilation called TRAILER WAR which will be released on December 11.

Liverpool-based environmental artist Kerry Morrison lays out long sheets of paper in parks in hopes birds poop on them so that the droppings can be “interpreted as musical notes.”
All of this proves to be quite challenging for poor Ms. Morrison.
These photos from this weekend’s annual Blessing of The Animals at the Cathedral of Saint John The Divine in New York City make my heart feel full. As a human being, Priests scare the shit out of me, but the pigs, llamas, doggies, turtles and various strange and beautiful creatures seem to be very calm and happy at this event celebrating St. Francis of Assisi’s teachings on the interrelationship between all living things.
There’s a part of me that feels it is a form of human chauvinism and arrogance to think that animals need our blessings (we could probably use theirs), but I’m willing to cut humanity some slack when I encounter something like these photos. There’s a spirit of good will in them that can’t be denied. And I’m all for advocating good relations between all Goddess’s creatures.

It’s getting to be that time of year again…
Two young’ins dressed as “Walter White” and “Jesse Pinkman” from Breaking Bad. I’m pretty certain this was for mommy and daddy’s amusement.
It feels like “Mr. White” is lacking his “Heisenberg” hat, however, the kid dressed as “Jesse” sure has the face down!

I have no idea of the provenance of this image. Is it old? Is it new? Is it ‘shopped? In any case, it’s damned cool and I thought I’d share it.
