REPORT: Rabbit Allergy Season in Full Swing

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to experts, the dreaded rabbit allergy season has returned – this time, with a vengeance.

“We’re seeing bunnies with a full range of symptoms,” says Dr. Alan Speck. “Watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose – it’s all there. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this bad.”

As always, sufferers are advised to use over-the-counter remedies and drink plenty of fluids.

“If I were a rabbit right now, I’d hop to the nearest pharmacy and really just stock up,” says Speck. “Medically speaking, this season’s gonna be a doozy.”

As with previous years, the spate is expected to last well into autumn before giving way to otter flu season.

Fan Favorite Panda Voted Off of ‘Panda Island’ Reality Series

Warning: this post contains spoilers for those who haven’t seen last night’s episode of Panda Island.

Last night provided the biggest shock of the season on Panda Island, the latest mega-hit reality show from Marc Burnett. After two hours of deliberation, the Elder Council sent fan favorite panda, Chubs, to the Hibernation Villa, ending his 5-week run on the program.

“Everyone loves Chubs,” said Entertainment Weekly television writer Amelia Scoggins, “so it was a bit of a shock to see him voted off so early.”

On the other hand, said Scoggins, Chubs was a drain on his team. The bear had finished last in the four of the previous six Ursine Challenges. 

Fans took to social media to voice their displeasure.

“Noooooooo! Not Chubs! #BoycottPI” read one tweet, using a popular protest hashtag that was tweeted 74,000 times, according to social media analytics firm Crimson Hexagon.

“FUUUUUUU! i hate the elder council. )): #ChubsForever” read another. It was retweeted 460 times.

“It will be interesting to see if the show takes a ratings dip next week,” said Scoggins. “Smart money says no, though. People just can’t get enough of Panda Island.”

Kitten’s Plan to Raid Fridge Is Flawed

Jack, a kitten from Queens, NY, was thwarted in his attempt to raid the refrigerator at his apartment yesterday afternoon.

“He had his eye on my leftover calamari from dinner the previous night,” said roommate Claire Morin. “But his plan was flawed from the start.”

Apparently, Jack thought he could hide on the fridge door in order to gain unfettered access to the fried squid. It worked – to a point.

“He actually got alone with the calamari,” said Morin, “but he then he was stuck in the fridge with no way to reheat it.”
