Until recently, I felt like our society had fallen into the trap, a delusion really, that only exotic animals like cheetahs and gazelles could be compellingly filmed in slow-motion. In the below video, Pedigree really works to break us out of that box:
Yes, Virginia, dogs jumping to catch kibble in their mouths can be every bit as exciting as some hoity toity "Planet Earth" special in HD. Two words: Ba-roo.

Great news, lushes/fatties!
According to a new study published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, booze can make you skinny! Woohoo! Some choice excerpts:
Although alcohol is packed with calories (about 150 in a six-ounce glass of wine)...[t]he risk of becoming overweight was almost 30 percent lower for women who consumed one or two alcohol beverages a day, compared with nondrinkers.
The trend toward less weight gain among drinkers doesn’t appear to hold true for men [however]...Men typically add alcohol to their daily caloric intake, whereas women are more likely to substitute alcohol for food.
Although this article was posted by fake journalist and my own personal mortal enemy, Tara Parker-Pope, I must admit I like these findings. Not only do they justify drinking, but they also affirm the health benefits of the Alcohol-Cigarettes-Drugs diet I have long advocated. Victory all around!
