Dog’s iPhone Case Raises New Concerns Over Ego
Milo’s custom smartphone case turned heads at the office Wednesday, not because of its state-of-the-art fiberglass shell or ergonomic grips, but the photo design.
“It was a big ol’ pic of his face,” says Margaret Olemeda, a colleague who noticed Milo’s iPhone 6 casually placed in the center of their shared workspace. “I mean, we know Milo is cute and a little self-absorbed. But to put your own face on the back of your own phone – that’s kinda weird.”
It didn’t stop there, according to Jeff Sale, another co-worker. “He started posting Instagram selfies with the case next to him,” Sale explains. “How he got a selfie with his phone in the shot I don’t quite understand. There must be someone else involved. He might even be paying a freelancer, I don’t know.”

Kitten Pop Group Finds Success on YouTube
After their demo was rejected by every label in New York, all kitten pop music group ‘Meow 5′ took to social media to try to find an audience. And it’s worked.
The group gained attention earlier this summer when their YouTube covers of The Cure’s “The Love Cats,” and “Cat’s in the Cradle,” by Harry Chapin were posted to Reddit’s r/CatMusic community. The tracks have together attracted over 2.5 million views.
Now the group has been invited to perform at the Life is Beautiful festival in Las Vegas this weekend – somewhat hilariously, they’ll be taking the stage immediately before Snoop Dogg.
“It’s been a whirlwind,” says the group’s manager, Anna-Marie Castro, who has been with the kittens since they were born to her cat, Twinkles, in May. “I mean, I knew they’d do well on Instagram and Pinterest, but when I found out they could sing I had no idea what to expect. Certainly not this.”
The group is working on an album of original material, set to drop at the beginning of 2016.

BREAKING: Area Dog Reaches End of Rainbow
An enterprising young dog has put an end to centuries of scientific and mythological speculation by reaching the end of a rainbow, according to meteorologists with him on the ground.
“Ginny chased that thing and would not let up,” says Dan Goldbloom, who studies climate patterns and aerial phenomena. “A lot of us fell behind, but she just kept going. It was obvious where he was headed.”
They found him 30 minutes later at the end of the rainbow, or “color termination point” as the rainbow science community calls it.
“She didn’t find a pot of gold,” Jeff Rogers, who has been studying rainbow origins and endpoints for 23 years, tells The Fluffington Post with a laugh. “Weirdly, she found actor Nicolas Cage in a lawn chair. We’re not sure what’s up with that, but we plan to investigate further.”
