A little Sunday silliness.
Now,.... some of you may or may not know what a furry is.
Working in the animation industry, I've encountered these interesting folks on more than one occasion and I've even worked with a few.
Long story short,.....they're people who identify with, assume the personas of and generally gravitate to anything that has to do with animated, (preferably anthropomorphic), animal characters.
They are sort of a sub-group of the comic-book culture and they definitely have their share of extremists. There's a fair share of them that build elaborate "fur-suits" to parade around conventions and participate in all the extra-curricular social activities that accompany it.
I won't go into detail.
Several years ago, my girlfriend and I were laughing about the idea of "going undercover" at one of these things and filming all of the madness that goes on there, (as with any comic book related event), So,...in the spirit of a good old-fashioned goof,.... two of my buddies, who are well versed in this culture helped us build a suit, (which came out waaaaay too nice for what it ended up being used for), we fired up the camera, Cynthia got in the suit, and the video here, (which took me almost five years to get around to editing), is the end result.
It great spoofy fun!
And boy-oh-boy was it an education!

It's the stroking of the tail that I don't like....
Seriously though, that was pretty brilliant.

They are interesting folk.
By that I mean scary.
Looks like those furries have exacted their revenge by shutting down your message board! You are not safe! Get into your Furry suit and run!!!

What the Hell is going on over there?
AJ's board is down to so I can only assume it was furry revenge by association.
