Puppy Invests $10,000 in Zach Braff’s Kickstarter Movie

When a puppy named Gracie heard that Zach Braff was Kickstarting a new film, she rushed to her computer.

“She is a huge fan of Garden State,” says her friend Carol Adams, referring to Braff’s last feature, released in 2004. “She saw someone post the Kickstarter on Facebook, and she got really excited.”

It was certain that Gracie would back the project, titled Wish I Was Here, but for how much?

“She started scrolling through the rewards section – a soundtrack, t-shirts, an advanced screening. Then, she saw it,” Adams explains. “The $10,000 level gets you a part in the movie!”

According to Adams, Gracie became so excited at the prospect of meeting Braff and being in one of his films, that she instantly went about making arrangements to sell her car.

“It’s not like she had $10,000 laying around,” says Adams. “But, she was able to sell her Ford Fiesta on Craigslist to scrape together the rest of it. Not the smartest financial move, but she’s young. I’m sure she’ll have a good time.”

Narcissistic Personality Disorder on the Rise Among Dogs

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the vainest of them all? Dogs, that’s who.

According to a new study from York University in Toronto, Canada, dogs are exhibiting 57% more narcissistic behaviors as a species then they were ten years ago.

“We think social media is an enabler and a root cause here,” said researcher Tom Anderson, no relation to the founder of MySpace. “You have this constant stream of canines telling each other how great they are, which just reinforces their narcissistic tendencies. We’ve seen the same thing in humans.”
