Baby Steps

Now, this seems like a nice sentiment. We spotted this on a car at the mall recently and took a picture with journalistic intent. We then realized that a human with this magnet on their car was likely to patrol dog related web sites and forums and costume parades and the like which means that per chance they would see this and assume it was their car despite our expert (hack-job) Photoshop obscuring, take personal offense and fire bomb our offices with 3 or 4 like minded comrades in Dalmatian spotted berets - the revolution will not be satirized! You know, the type of human who sets up a neighborhood watch specifically to prevent muggings of stray cats - oh its alarmingly epidemic. So anyhow you get the web pilfered version. As far as we can tell this slogan is duty free and several companies use this tag line on various products from key chains to car magnets to one-hitter dugouts, many to support the efforts of rescue and no-kill sheltering and adoption. Needless to say we support animal rescue - specifically, the patronizing of shelter programs that recycle dogs and avoid unnecessary overcrowding of landfills - this Schnauzer made from 25% post consumer material - that sort of thing. But seriously folks, what does this mean? If it means a dog eating human birthday cake with a balloon dangerously tied around its neck by a ribbon, we're not in. If it means a neediness so pervasive on the human's part that the dog, the human or both end up stuffed and enslaved to live in perpetuity on the mantle, we're out. If it means that someone is so stuntingly unaware of both the AC/DC song title and logo, well then I think you can guess our opinion.
