‘Grumpy Bunnies’ Land Syndicated Show on NPR

Public radio giant NPR announced today that it had finally found a replacement for Car Talk, the automobile-centric call-in show that was retired just over a year ago. The new show, Grumpy Bunnies, will follow a similar format and features rabbit brothers Grizzly and Gromit Cierrello. 

“We’re trying to reach new audiences,” said Yvette Raskin, a spokesperson for the organization.

Raskin also confirmed that the bunny brothers will record the show in NPR’s recently LEED certified new office building in Washington, DC. That’s a big move from the program’s current home, a college radio station in Manchester, NH.

The show will open with a bit of comedy before segueing to a traditional call-in format. 

“Research tells us that a lot of people are listening to NPR with their pets in the room, but we didn’t really have anything to draw those pets in as regular listeners,” said Raskin. “Who better than the irascible Griz and Grom to reach that audience?”

The show will debut in February 2014.

Pomeranian Mounts Campaign Against Attention-Grabbing Baby

Pomeranian Mounts Campaign Against Attention-Grabbing Baby

A Pomeranian pup named Pica had mounted a legal campaign against a baby that her lawyers claim has “forcefully and maliciously stolen” from the dog.

According to Pica’s legal team, the baby has allegedly usurped the puppy’s place as the cutest member of the household, and thus taken much of the privilege that role entails.

“She no longer gets extra treats, her walks in the park are half the time they used to be, and forget about getting any attention from visitors,” said lawyer Casey Litton. “That all went out the window as soon as that baby arrived.”

Pica is seeking compensatory damages in $2 million range and immediate removal of the child.

Cat Defeats Flip-Flop in 7 Rounds

Cat Defeats Flip-Flop in 7 Rounds

The world of underground kitten wrestling has exploded over the past few years, with the FBI reporting illegal wrestling clubs in over 200 cities across the U.S. Further, the IRS estimates over $3 billion changes hands each year at these matches.

All that illegal wrestling has also bolstered the American appetite for sanctioned kitten entertainment. Over the past 36 months, the UKP (Ultimate Kitten Pouncing) league has seen a nearly 150% jump in attendance at matches and scored a new TV deal with ESPN2. 

At a recent match, Tabz the cat was able to fell a flip-flop in seven rounds, drawing cheers from a packed house at Madison Square Garden in New York. 

“Tabz has become our biggest attraction,” said UKP spokesperson, Jack Milotti. “The fans want to see gore, and she gives it to them. She shredded that shoe to bits.”

Critics have accused the UKP of being staged, but Milotti insists otherwise.

“Absolutely not,” he told The Fluffington Post during a recent interview. “Though the safety of our stars is paramount, the struggle with the flip-fop is 100% real.”
