The bad month for film studios continues. A group of hackers have penetrated the Paramount Pictures computers at Viacom, accessing a trove a emails, studio documents and unreleased films.
The group has begun to slowly leak some of that information to the press and public, including a rough cut of the new Indiana Jones reboot, Indiana Bones: Raiders of the Lost Bark, which was set to hit theaters in May. The new movie is a retelling of the original Indiana Jones film with a dog as the lead protagonist.
This comes just over a month after hackers, reportedly from North Korea, broke into the computers of Sony Pictures in an effort to stop the release of The Interview. It is also just a few days after another, unrelated hacking group hit Sony’s Playstation network.
Though no one has yet taken responsibility for this hack, industry experts think that that the responsible party might be unhappy cats upset by the feline portrayal in the film. Cats were cast exclusively in the parts occupied by Nazis in the original.

Critics: Dog’s Cooking Show ‘Too High Brow’
“Cuisine de Nero,” the eponymous cooking show from Nero the dog, has amassed over 3,500 subscribers on YouTube since launching in 2012. But critics say that the pup is missing out on a much wider audience because of his high brow approach.
“He’s got a lot of camera presence,” said BuzzFeed’s senior YouTube food editor, Colleen Ryan. “His instructions are easy to follow, but his food is just not the type of thing your average home chef wants to make.”
Ryan believes that Nero could easily have a five times the audience he has now, especially among fellow canines, if he started cooking more simple food.
“I get it,” she said. “He’s a French Bulldog, so he cooks French food. But, really, how many dogs out there are trying to make Boudin Noir Aux Pommes or Lamprey à la Bordelaise? How many can even pronounce those?”

Dog Takes Advantage of Casual Fridays
by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
Among his co-workers at Freed & Crump, LLC, Jackson is known as the “fun guy.” It’s no surprise, then, that the Senior Accountant and dog would take full advantage of the firm’s “casual Fridays” policy.
“Office dress is pretty relaxed on Fridays,” says Data Analyst Morgan Lowe. “Of course, Jackson takes it to a whole other level. He’ll usually wear American flag pants or a really loud Hawaiian shirt. People get a real kick out of it.”
Jackson may find it hard to top his choice of clothing from last Friday.
“He wore a pizza tie,” says Lowe. “It was the silliest thing I’ve ever seen, but he totally rocked it. Say what you want about Jackson – you have to admire his panache.”

Two Puppy Collision Shuts Down Traffic for Hours
A collision on the backyard section of the I-10 roadway shut down traffic during rush hour this morning. The accident, which involved two puppies, caused havoc for hours as police and fire crews attempted to clear the scene.
Neither dog was hurt in the incident.
“We’re still trying to figure out exactly what happened,” said Officer John Chambliss. “But we’re pretty sure texting was involved. It’s just not worth it, people. Keep your eyes on the road and your paws at 10 and 2.”
