In 1964, David Bowie (then David Jones) was the 17-year-older leader of the band The Manish Boys. To gain publicity, his father came up with a stunt. They concocted an organization called the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men. That garnered the band an appearance on the BBC show Tonight.
Here is that show from November 1964. It's good to see Bowie as an everyday longhaired British teenager. If the host had known where young David's career would take him, he would have been even more scandalized. -via Boing Boing

Maybe I'm just tired of the endless spew of cute animal videos accompanied by crappy songs. Maybe we need some real animal situations.
There's a bulldog squatting on my lawn.
It's a sack, full of kitty cats. And they meow, meow, meow, and they splash, splash, splash.
