Puppy Tricks Local Media With Lion Costume
Puppy Tricks Local Media With Lion Costume
The media in Muncie, IN sure has egg on its collective face this morning. At least two local newspapers, including the Ball State Daily News, published stories about a supposed new edition to the local zoo: a lion named Herbert. RTV6, an ABC affiliate out of Indianapolis, reportedly filmed and cut a segment on Herbert, but killed it moments before airtime.
Of course, there are two major issues with the Herbert story:
1. There is no zoo in Muncie (there was a privately-owned zoo in nearby Parker City, but it closed in 2009),
and
2. Herbert isn’t a lion at all. Herbert is actually Willie, a Pomeranian puppy wearing a lion costume who held a fake press conference to present his fabricated story.
Consider this the most adorable media prank of all time.

Office Cat Distracts Co-Workers With Non-Stop Laughter
Office Cat Distracts Co-Workers With Non-Stop Laughter
According to source close to the situation, productivity at social media marketing firm Haystack, LLC has taken a nose dive since the company hired Taren, a Scottish Fold kitten, to be the official office cat.
“I can’t get anything done,” said account manager Lisa Dombrowski. "Taren is always laughing. Always.“
Employees at Haystack concede that Taren is cute, and that the non-stop laughter was infectious at first. "But now it’s just annoying,” said Joan Lefevere, director of client services. “It’s hard to get companies to take you seriously when your office sounds like a taping of Saturday Night Live in the background.”
At this point management has no plans to let Taren go. However sources tell The Fluffington Post that he will be asked to try to contain his constant mirth.
