Hide your fursuits and your furry porn.  TLC’s “My Strange Addiction” is coming back for a second season this summer, and they are casting!

The first season of the series told the stories of two dozen people and how their addictions were affecting their lives, work and relationships. While some people might turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with the stresses of everyday life, these addicts found comfort by eating toilet paper, sleeping with a running blow dryer or wearing a fursuit. Each addict received counseling for their addiction and learned how they could stop. From their press release:

“Many people who suffer from strange addictions have told us that they don’t know how to quit,” said Jason Bolicki, 20 West’s Director of Development and the show’s Executive Producer. “There’s no specific 12-step program to stop eating laundry detergent, so we try to help these individuals find new roads to recovery.”

Be warned.  As we learned from Lauren Adkins:

“They totally twisted everything, I can just tell by the preview. I told them I only go out maybe once a month if that. I never bring it [her fursuit] out around people that aren’t furs, and I never once brought it to a gathering or social event. Yet they say I can’t stand to be without it for one minute.”

If you or someone you know is battling an unusual addiction or behavior and would be interested in appearing on the show, please send a short description of your addiction and the impact it has on your daily life to: casting@20west.tv Please include your name, age, city of residence, a current photo and a phone number or email where you can be reached for further questions.

You can find all of the programs TLC is casting for on their website.

North Stafford, Va. –– Perhaps he was thirsty, or it was because he never got enough calcium as a child, or maybe he had a thing for dressing like a farm animal.

Whatever the reason Stafford sheriff’s authorities say a man donned a cow costume and not walked, but crawled into a Walmart store on Garrisonville Road (Va. 610) in North Stafford at 10:35 p.m. Tuesday.

Authorities say he found a shopping cart and then pushed it to the milk isle.

Now on two feet, security guards inside the store say the upright cow was caught on video tape placing 26 gallons of milk –– about $92 worth of the moo-cow juice –– into a the shopping cart, and then rolled it out of the store.

A manager called 911 to report the larceny.

Domestic dogs, cats, hamsters or budgerigars should be rebranded as “companion animals” while owners should be known as “human carers”, they insist.

Even terms such as wildlife are dismissed as insulting to the animals concerned – who should instead be known as “free-living”, the academics including an Oxford professor suggest.

The call comes from the editors of then Journal of Animal Ethics, a new academic publication devoted to the issue.

It is edited by the Revd Professor Andrew Linzey, a theologian and director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, who once received an honorary degree from the Archbishop of Canterbury for his work promoting the rights of “God’s sentient creatures”.  In its first editorial, the journal – jointly published by Prof Linzey’s centre and the University of Illinois in the US – condemns the use of terms such as ”critters” and “beasts”.

First, forgive me for the throwaway account, I'm not quite ready to out myself to friends and family (can you tell a lot of my friends are Internet Tough Guy, furry-haters?).

So, I rolled a female worgen druid that I cheekily named Yiffany. I thought it was fun, and I've actually gotten a few compliments on the name. One day while waiting for the ship to Stormwind, some night elf female hunter /spit at me. I was so shocked, I didn't think (or have the courage) to whisper her and ask "What was that for?". Instead, I did nothing. In truth, I really wanted to /wink at her pet, but knew that would be in really poor taste.

Maybe it's because I'm still relatively new to furdom, but I was startled at how flustered I got when insulted like that. How do you guys handle haters? Obviously shouting "FURSECUTION!!" and the like just feeds the trolls, but I don't want to act like a doormat either. Did I just have it coming to me by naming my character something with "yiff" in it, and is doing stuff like that detrimental to fellow furs?

**EDIT Honest question, I'm not trolling here. Is that why this is being downvoted?

EDIT 2 Okay, after re-reading what I posted, I can see how this could have come across as sounding offensive, and I'm truly sorry if I did offend anyone, that was not my intent at all.

Just want to get some thoughts on these. I have a series of "advice Likos" (Liko being my character) and they bare resemblance to some of the ragefaces, some more obvious than others:
trollface (minus the teeth being visible)
Look of dissapproval ?_?
Any thoughts on my work (specifically the stuff I linked, not the rest of the stuff in my gallery, but it's cool if you want to look at the rest of my stuff)? What rageface should I go for next? I kind of discontinued it temporarily due to being busy with college, but my summer break is coming up so I'm looking to continue.

Recently (as in March), Dreamworks Animation announced they have begun work upon a new film called Rumblewick. ” Director Tim Johnson (Over The Hedge, Antz) and writer Jim Herzfeld (Meet the Fockers, Meet the Parents) are collaborating on the feature project, which is inspired by the children’s book, My Unwilling Witch (The Rumblewick Letters) by Hiawyn Oram and Sarah Warburton. DreamWorks Animation development executives Chris Kuser and Gregg Taylor are overseeing the project at the studio. Rumblewick will follow the adventures of a magician’s rabbit for whom the invitation to learn real magic and train as a witch’s familiar seems like a dream come true! But the dream becomes a nightmare when he discovers he’s really a pawn in a game between rival witches. Having learned the hard way that when something seems too good to be true it probably is, he must outsmart them both to save his fuzzy little hide.” No word yet on a planned release date, but stay tooned!

Allright, I admit it. I’m a sucker for any modern day use of Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes characters. Here’s Bugs and Daffy at the White House yesterday. No birth certificates required…

Researchers at Indiana University have found flame retardants in the blood of pet dogs at levels five to ten times higher than typically found in humans. Could dogs be the canary in the coal mine for how accumulating polybrominated flame retardants will affect humans?

A group of teenagers dressed as Easter bunnies were turned away from a zoo - amid fears they would 'psychologically damage' the animals.
Cancer-sufferer Laura Gibson, 15, and her friends were told to change out of their costumes before entry into Edinburgh Zoo in case they upset the creatures.
The trip had been planned as a special treat for the teen, who was joined by friends Hannah, Kirsty and Becki Nicholson and her brother Cameron, who was dressed as a chicken.

Would you like the chance to visit the set of Mongrels?

We're offering a few people the chance to come and visit the studio in Twickenham during May to see the puppets filming the second series of their hit BBC Three show.

The tour will include:
A tour of the set from the production team, who'll be on hand to answer any Mongrels questions you may have.
The chance to watch part of the second series being filmed.
A visit to the puppet room where you'll get the chance to have your photo taken with a Mongrels character. You'll also meet some of the new puppets featuring in the second series.
The opportunity to meet the art department and check out some of the props from the new series.
A sneak preview from the second series before anyone else.

You can enter the random draw for this experience from now until Monday 9 May at midday.
