Commie Kittens!
Posted by Trickster on Mon 29 Dec 2003 - 22:45Granted, it's not badgers.
But still... God help us.
This selection is from the same people who brought us "Viking Kittens" and at least a dozen other singing animal animations, both original and from popular music.

Christ Can Help Furverts!
Posted by Anon on Mon 7 Jul 2003 - 18:53Purging Inhuman Sexual Orientation with Christ, (PISOC), claims to be
a Christian organization whose aim is to help furries to escape, much
as if Fur Fandom were a mind-bending cult. I'm not sure whether they
seriously mean it, but I can't imagine anybody on the right side of a
lunatic assylum's door taking them seriously!
Especially note their "10 quick facts" about Furry.
For instance, did you know that you've been castrated? Are you
snickering yet?

So You Want To Be a Real-Life Furry

The homepage of the fund is http://www.clasheerian.com/furthing/.
HILARIOUS parody with anthro flavor
Posted by noleuca on Fri 15 Mar 2002 - 15:13theonion.com, a popular news parody site, has posted a very funny story about "sexism among animals in nature." There is heavy anthropomorphication (if that's a word) of natural animal behavior on the part of some "scientists" conducting thier "research."
Not strictly furry, but VERY funny and apropos for those interested in behavioral aspects of anthropomorphics.
Mr. Manatee Goes to Washington
Posted by Brer on Thu 16 Aug 2001 - 13:44Despite the seriousness of the topic of protecting what little Florida wetland remains, I had to get several chuckles out of this spoof in The Onion:
Endangered Manatee Struggles to Make Self Understood to Congress
Note from Gene: I'm one of those people who normally find the Onion just a little too sophomoric to actually be funny, but I got a chuckle from this one, as well.
