We’ve tried to avoid Gawker. Really. But now we must urge readers of L.A. Unleashed to read a little essay titled ‘Please Stop Talking About Puppies’ by Hamilton Nolan:
It’s one thing to spend your time commenting on a site that has witty, engaging repartee, like this one. But some other places are inexplicable. Like one that came to my attention today: DailyPuppy.com. It exists to post puppy pictures. Okay, fine, I have nothing negative to say about that, dog Nazis. But do said puppy pictures require 90 comments just today, which all sound like this actual example: ‘Oh baby you are such a cutie-pie. A zillion biscuits and cuddles poppet and have a wonderful life. xxxxxxxxxxx.’ GOD. It really challenges your ability to even continue liking puppies. Here’s what we have to say to that, Mr. Nolan: Meet Ooltie, left, whose owner sent his photo to Your Scene at Latimes.com.
