TV? I haven't heard of one of those since New Year's Eve.

Eh, whatever. It's not like I'll see one again in the foreseeable future.

[Dr. Dos]

from what I've heard of the Burned Furs they weren't concerned with that, just the blatant amount of easily accessable porn.<br><br>I've only seen two CSI episodes, the furry one, and some Cold Case Files episode where this guy killed his two friends because they found out he became a spy for the government and he wasn't being arrested because he helped them get information on JANE which was a codename for a group of people who did illegal abortions. I later found out JANE was real so I'd say that you can trust CSI stuff is real, but probably not the most accurate thing.

sadly my first intordution to Furrys was that CSI episode. but it did not tack long to see how wring it was. (like before the end of the episode)

Talk about stupid. To go into detail would bring in a lot of profane words to the topic that I would rather not.<br><br>The CSI team tends to end up investigating unusual circumstances, sleazy or not. You have to say that Furrys are unusual. They're a following by excentrics.

In something somewhat related, I unearthed <a href='http://fursuit.timduru.org/dirlist/Furs ... 050120.wmv' target='_blank'>this nugget</a> [.wmv, 50 secs] whilst browsing LJ. ('ey, it's been a slow day, a'ight?) Apparently, someone told Dennis Miller of a recent Furry convention. His words aren't <i>too</i> bad, compared to some other things one <i>could</i> have said.

yes you did. read up.<br><br>not that i think you <i>do</i> think it's a bad thing, just, your statement was inncorrect.

Eh, while I'm news mode, look at <a href='http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4269449.stm' target='_blank'>this article</a> about the hunting ban in England, over at the BBC.
