Don't Hurt Me...I'm Dead...Really

They often play dead...I wish they would stop playing and just be dead.

And by the way, at least 906 others appear to agree with me.

More about Less Possums

I mean think about it...I talked about raccoons already, but even skunks, mice, coyotes - they have all been made somewhat cute through movies or cartoons. Pepe Le Peu, Flower from Bambi, Mickey Mouse, Jerry from Tom and Jerry, Wile E Coyote. But even the great Walt Disney knows he can't hope to turn a damn possum into a loving character. Those red beady eyes, that slow awkward gait...I hate possums.

Possums??

What are possums about? Were they really on Noah's Ark? If so, why? What value do possums provide to the ecosystem...they eat trash or something? Can't raccoons eat all of our trash instead, I mean at least they aren't so ugly. They might be evil little buggers, but at least they can rep solid brands like La-Z-Boy in TV ads. When have you ever seen a possum in a TV spot? Maybe if someone starts offering cruises on the River Styx in hell they'll decide to put some possums in their campaign, but even then, I don't know. I kind of feel like we should set all possums on fire...
