Dogs Doing Twitter and Other Fun Animal Projects on the Internet
Dogs who Twitter.
Yep, folks, that's what the world needs. Canines with laptops letting their owners know in 160 words or less that the water in the toilet bowl needs a little more flavoring?
The staff at DotComedy thought about this one long and hard, and after shaking our collective heads more furiously than 3 Stooges B-lister Shemp missing his cheese underneath a strobe light, we figured, whatever ... let's take a whack and try to make some sense of this.
So social media has spider-webbed so insanely that it's not enough we as human beings update each other every 4 minutes to inform each other on our bathroom habits, we now need our dogs to be on the information superhighway just in case anyone missed Fido's last scratching or fire hydrant sprinkler show.
Is there anything so important in Spot's life that we need to get on Twitter to be clued in on a timely basis? I'm sure the daily bath or refill of kibble is right next to President Obama's latest move in Europe, but the staff can't imagine following a four-legged celebrity like it is life or death?
What's next? Cats who do Facebook? Hamsters who blog? Squirrels on Bill Gates' Microsoft payroll? Sound ridiculous? We thought so too until we found out that DOGS DO TWITTER!
There are a lot of things in the world that make you have a V-8 moment and smack your forehead in disbelief, but admittedly for the staff at DotComedy, this one takes the can and crushes it upside a temple. There are some people out there whose lives are so devoid of purpose or meaning that they get on the Internet to check the hourly progress of Fifi scouring for fleas on her back. Ouch, that doesn't exactly fill out a reference sheet for a job interview on Wall Street now does it?
And we can only imagine the dog twitter sensation will cause in homes across America. Consider the following scenario: You get home from a long day at the office and want to jump online and check your e-mail. Instead, the dog has its paws up on the keyboard, tweeting about his party in the backyard that afternoon with a bone and a hole in the ground.
RIVETING.
This is so silly that not much can be added.
Just make sure your next bag of doggie treats has a wireless Internet code on the bag. Because if Spike needs to get some crap off his chest, a text message isn't going to be enough.
Got a problem with that? Take it up with Shemp.
