Squirrels Torch Man's House. Twice.

The Hell with squirrels. My wonderful, kind, gentle ex-brother-in-law died in a house fire caused when squirrels chewed through the attic wiring of his (deceased) parent's newly-renovated house!

Ask me if I give a damn about the destructive little critters --- NO, NO, AND HELL NO!

I love how people get so up in arms about animals being "hurt" when everyday thousands of people are suffering worse than any squirrel. BUT LETS NOT THINK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THERE IS A POOR WITTLE SQUIRREL BEING LAUNCHED ALL OF 10 FEET!

WATCH OUT YOU JUST STEPPED ON AN ANT YOU CRUEL CRUEL PERSON! WAIT IS THAT A MICROBE YOU JUST SNEEZED OUT OF EXISTANCE?! HOW COULD YOU?!

Hahaha... I love comments like georges here. "Don't post stuff like this or I'll go to mummy and cry and never ever come back". Just brilliant...

I'm just posting to say that I visit neatorama.com daily, and while many understandably don't find the "nudge the animal sympathizers" posting (did it have to happen twice? why would a site typically so fun-oriented have to rub our faces in this? it's a little bit ugly) I don't like it and I won't be returning here. I don't care if my single visit matters, I just won't subscribe to you anymore because you people have some issues to work out with your blog posters. That or you're collectively insensitive and this blog as a whole is disingenuous.

Last time I'll post on this subject.

Instead of screaming about how you "feel" or what you "think", simply look up the facts.

In all of three minutes I found numerous references on the resilience of squirrels. They routinely jump 35 feet from trees to the ground.

Also, if you haven't noticed, this blog routinely posts things like this to get folks riled up. This is as far as I know the first time it linked to a previous controversial post to get more mileage.

I "think/feel" that this whole thing is hilarious. Keep up the good work Neatorama.

Annoying morans is fun.
