OMG! Cutesy-Wutesy Widdle Animal Link! This is a photo of an insanely cute little puppy. But the rule for this post is that you have to tear the post apart. Criticize it. Dismiss it sneeringly. Snark at it. Bend over backwards to find something wrong with the post.

Have fun!

*yawn*

This was on Boing Boing, like, three hours ago.

Lame.

Minor change made to your post. I'm probably being a bit too careful, but you were skirting the rules with regard to metafilter.

Hey, whatever happened to non-censorship? It's exactly stuff like this that will be the death of metachat.

@ j_p nobody reads BoingBoing anymore, didn't you get the memo.

I agree. You are being a little bit too careful.

But I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it.

'nuff said.

you know. I remember when people put some thought into their posts. I mean, what is this. Single flickr link. No context; no wikipedia background; nothing but a picture of a dog. Come on!

No tags, either.

The only thing I hate more than dogs?

UGH! Another dogzone post.

Ew. Rat sandwich. Do not want.

So, BP, I guess it would have been okay if it was a cat, then? The groupthink in this place is laughable.

posted by taz 10 June | 12:51

there's nothing wrong with rats. And I find your implication that you can eat rats in sandwiches highly offensive. They're intelligent creatures and they make great pets. You're just being rattist.

you know who else liked pictures of dogs in buns?

posted by seanyboy 10 June | 12:54

Yes, seanyboy. Hitler.

I rest my case.

MetaChat: Skirting the rules with regard to MetaFilter.

(and thanks, seanyboy. I was a bit uncomfortable about that, too.)

This would have been an OK post but the dog's nose isn't pink enough.

(ej TOTALLY got me! Ha!)

j_p : This would have been an OK post but the dog's nose ~~isn't pink enough~~ is too pink. FTFY.

Cute? Looks like some sludge I'd wipe off of my shoe.

posted by deborah 10 June | 13:42

Ugh, that dog is so fat. Why would anyone drive an SUV like that? EAT A SANDWICH, FATDOG.

LAST POST!

Yeah, you know, if you were starving in another country you wouldn't be so quick to dismiss rat sandwiches. All you pampered petit bourgeoisie Americans make me sick and that goes double for you British types. There are millions of children out there who'd cut off their left hands for a live rat sandwich but they don't have computers, now do they? And that's your fault, you and your vegan friends.

posted by mygothlaundry 10 June | 14:28

dude that's absolutely Farktastic. Did you like, just blatantly steal it from a PhotoShop thread or what?

posted by lonefrontranger 10 June | 14:38

Look at how creepily transparent everything is! It's like, alien dog or something. Yick.

posted by Stewriffic 10 June | 15:11

Oh My God! Where did you find that cute dog??! On the internet, really? Are there any more? Where can I find them, because I've never ever seen a cute dog on the internet before. This is like a whole new world opening up for me here. I don't know how to work stuff quite yet, can you please email this to my mom? Her email address is yousuck@fuckyouandyourrcutepuppies.com.

Ugh. Total dogfilter. Where are the mods?!

posted by halonine 11 June | 01:24

Yeah, I'd totally eat that rat sandwich, except I don't like bread. Also, it needs sauce. See, you can't even make a hot ~~dog~~ rat properly.
