My Little Ponies turned awesome

I am in heaven. I want all of these. Truly fantastic work here. I want all of them, but if I had to pick a favourite, no I can't possibly pick favourites. I love the storm trooper ponys, my little darth vader, my little alien, all of them. They are all so phenomenal. [ My Little Ponies Gone Mad ]

*Thanks to my friend James, he found out that she is opening up a website soon to sell these items. Prepare to be bought, Miss. Mari Kasurinen. By me. Incase that wasn't clear.

About 15 years ago, a group of animal-loving, tattooed bikers in the New York area began acting on behalf of abused animals. The men volunteered at shelters and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Toward Animals, and they tried to solve cases of missing or abused animals that other organizations had neither the time nor the resources to address.

Tattooed bikers, puppies, and tiny kittens. What's not to love? The New York Times goes for a ride-along with Rescue Ink, complete with slideshow. I can only imagine that most abusers would immediately poop their pants at the sight of a group of large, angry bikers coming for them. They have a website: http://www.rescueink.org/

This is like when John Spartan came out of cryo-jail and started knitting. [ Tough Guys love puppies and kittens too ]

Even though I am new to the Times/Tribune world, I am quite aware of the Legend of Sam Zell. When he first made his tour of Tribune-owned newspaper facilities he was challenged by an Orlando Sentinel staffer who accused the billionaire of wishing that his new properties give its readers puppy dogs instead of hard news. Zell accepted the criticism by saying, "you're giving me the classic... journalistic arrogance of deciding that puppies don't count."

Today Zell took it a step further by changing the name of Tribune Corp to ZCMEINC, as seen on the company’s new website at Tribune.com. And yes, those are puppies in the masthead.

Here is the new welcome message:

ZellCoMediaEnterprises Inc. is America’s largest employee-pwned media company. We're so 1337 that other companies wish they were us. They wake up and say, "Hey, I wonder what ZellCoMediaEnterprises Inc. is doing today. I bet they're doing an April Fool's Day gag. Why didn't we think of that?" Then they read amNY, post some pics on enginehead.com then go to work and whine about how the Cubs are so going to beat the Yankees this year. The winds of change are blowing.

So wait, the Cubs aren’t going to beat the Yankees this year?
