Yesterday we posted several Tweets online regards the comments by Veterinary Services Department (VSD) deputy director general Dr Ahmad Suhaimi Omar on stray dogs and their suggested consumption by exotic meat eaters to curb overpopulation at pounds. As expected our Tweets prompted a lot of very angry responses. @muffinmctuffin said “that’s just fucking ridiculous!” @absolutelyfuzzy called it “so sick” and @jaclynelisha used some colourful expletives. So we promised to post the deets in full and provide address to where you can send your letters of protest.

Heard of Banksy before? He is a world renown British graffiti artist. He has become a sort of media icon for his artwork which is worth a lot of money though that is not the reason Banksy does his art or why he is famous. The reason why his art is famous is because of its rebelious nature as its mostly if not always about ridiculing about politics, culture and ethics as he finds them hypocritical. [more »]

Chester Bennington just got a little more appealing today. He came onto the music scene in the beginning of the noughties with band Linkin Park (a minus 1 gold star in my books) and although it was rap rock/nu metal/alternative metal - whatever, Chester really showed he had mad powerful screaming skills. Although (in my opinion) he was in the wrong genre, he deservedly earns 1 gold star for them screams. The past few years though, Chester seems to be looking more and more attractive (+1 gold star) what with tattoos on his body (+1 gold star), his very short but funny cameo appearance on Crank 2 (+1 gold star) and finally now his latest participation in an anti fur ad (+1 gold star). Yes ladies, Chester is stripping down for PETA for their latest ad ‘Ink, Not Mink’. Sexay.

We love Pamela Anderson, not for the obvious reasons (of which there are 2) but for what lays underneath - her kind heart. Pammy, already an avowed PETA campaigner and the world’s sexiest vegetarian recently debuted her eco- and animal-friendly clothing collection called A*Muse in September. Collaborating with the fabulous Richie Rich of Heatherette, he calls it “fun, sexy, surfer girl from Malibu meets Andy Warhol.” Wooo! [more »]

What if you were born a monkey? Hey just think about it for a sec, will ya creationists? How much do you really know about our evolutionary cousins? It’s no surprise that nature channels are frequented mostly by science nerds, animal lovers and stoners, but the times are a-changing. Stories of the animal kingdom are now being told through riveting narratives which are often more action-packed and real than most Hollywood Blockbusters. Animal Planet simians are given the Sin City treatment.
