Congressman Furry? 1st District Oregon?
There a local scandal concerning the mental fitness of David Wu 1st district Oregon. I am in the 1st distinct Oregon. The issue started over resignation of his staffers and erratic behavior during the last campaign. Thanks to a local news story in Willamette Week and a comment tagged Wu being closet a furry. A local talk radio show host had contacted uncle kage for a comment The Like to his journal is here.
I am from the 1st Congressional district in Oregon. I cannot say I voted for him. I did volunteer for one out of the two credible Republican challengers to Wu. I was a Republican Precinct person. Sadly, most years we had no candidate running. (I sat out 2010 because I was disenchanted poor performance in campaigning and unemployment.) His costume is much ado about nothing.
The Willamette Week story tell a lot
"According to multiple sources, Wu went instead to Ping, a nearby restaurant for lunch. Only after he left Ping did those staffers stage the first “intervention,” an emotional meeting that spanned several hours during which staffers told the congressman they were worried about his health.
With Halloween approaching the Sunday before the Tuesday election, sources now tell WW that campaign aides had advised Wu not to dress in any costume that could potentially embarrass him.
(He was expected to face a close contest.) They worried, too, that a goofy getup could provide fodder for last-minute campaign attacks from Cornilles, Wu’s well-financed Republican opponent. The issue arose after Wu told staffers about a Halloween party he had wanted to attend with family and friends.
What follows here is a series of early-morning email messages from Wu’s BlackBerry to multiple staffers sent on the early hours of Saturday, Oct. 30.
The emails do not offer a definitive account of why Wu’s aides fled the congressman’s office in significant numbers just after his sixth successful re-election campaign. They do reveal that Wu’s staffers apparently had confronted the congressman about his drinking. They also suggest Wu faced accusations of harassment from his employees—and that Wu wasn’t eager to listen to any of the advice. Wu, through a spokesman, wouldn't respond to specific questions about the written content of the emails.
At 1:03 am PST on Saturday, Oct. 30, an email from Wu’s Congressional BlackBerry landed in the inbox of a female staffer. The congressman—who splits his time between Washington, D.C., and Oregon—was then in Portland.
There was no message attached to the email, only a single image. That photo, copied above, showed Wu in a plush tiger suit with orange- and black-striped mittens over his hands, a hood with pointy ears pulled over his head and a white circle split by a zipper stretched over his stomach. A seemingly red-faced Wu is sitting on a bench in what appears to be a bedroom, with his hands held in the air. A spokesman, Erik Dorey, today called the photo a private moment between family members. He further described the photo as "David Wu joshing around with his kids the day before Halloween."
Nineteen minutes later, at 1:22 am PST, a second email from Wu’s official email address went to multiple Wu staffers under the subject line “not funny.”"

Episode 130 - Furry Fiesta OMG
Did shrooms a few weeks ago. This was me.
Sic semper jackasses
I wouldn't link to something this lame, except that the overwhelmingly negative response in the comments suggests that the whole furry bashing thing is pretty much old and played out (yes, we know that, but more and more people now know it too):
"I'm just glad to hear somebody somewhere say 'I just didn't feel like watching a movie that didn't look like I was going to enjoy'"
"Nice to see that Tor.com is finding brave and incisive columnists to go out on controversial limbs and take provocative positions like making fun of furries. My hat's off to you sir: I have never seen such opinions expressed in public before, and the world has been made a better place by your stunningly original observations."
"Maybe furries 'get all defensive' because they're tired of being the butt of the same old jokes. Making fun of furries was old, like, in 2005. And however icky you think they are, accusing them of bestiality is neither cool nor accurate."
"There is so much ignorance and generalization in this article that for a moment I wondered if this was really Tor or if I had stumbled on Pontifex or an Onion parody.
Ok, so, first? None of my furry friends watched Avatar because the Na'vi are furry (furry? more like smurfs). They watched Avatar because of the 3D and the explodey-wodey. Like, you know, everyone else."
"There are just an endless supply of people on the internet who have never stepped out of their own comfy little rooms surrounded by people who are just like them. He thinks this is vitriol? He's never been to Daily Kos or Five Thirty Eight or Little Green Footballs. Never been to The Angry Black Woman or Making Light or the Whatever.
Which explains why he continues to fail to understand that the issue isn't a joke that fell flat, it's that the basis of the joke was 'I get to mock women with moustaches and other people at the bottom of the social hierarchy!'
He's just a fool, and an ignoramus; one of an endless number. It's not even angry-making, it's just a pathetic waste."
Maybe Bob Fingerman is a great cartoonist, but he just comes across as clueless at best.

"I have not met a furry. I freely admit bigotry against furries. They?'re just fucking weirdos."
Uh, Bob? Maybe appearing naked at the beginning of the video *isn't* the best way to endear your public into buying your comics??
The guy was pwned. The end.

Hello r/furry. One of my friends who identifies himself as one of you told me that this picture I took qualifies as "furry art". So I'm just gonna leave this here ;-).

Polar Bears Pushing Beer
Empresas Polar is a well-known brewer of cerveza (beer) in Venezuela. Recently they decided to create a campaign bringing their company logo, a polar bear, to life. Enter The Character Shop, an outfit famous for their creation of animatronic characters for use in advertising — a great many of which are anthropomorphic animals. They helped Empresas Polar create the character of Pedroso the Polar Bear for their new line of TV commercials. And the people of Venezuela seem to be taking to them — and Pedroso, the 7-foot tall bear himself — quite well. The Character Shop has a page dedicated to their creation of Pedroso, and of course you can see some of his actual commercials on YouTube.
Alan T. Panda withdraws guilty pleas
Author: Higgs Raccoon
Alan Berlin, better known in the furry fandom as Alan T. Panda, has withdrawn his guilty pleas in relation to charges that he sexually propositioned a 15-year-old boy online.
Berlin came to the attention of the media in May 2009, when he was first arrested for unlawful contact with a minor. According to investigators, Berlin, a resident of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, had been in communication with the teen for several weeks and had proposed travelling to the boy’s home to have sex in the backyard, and in a shed on his parents’ property.
In the furry fandom, Berlin was a fursuiter, babyfur, and “daddyfur/caretaker with a cub side”. The media noted Berlin’s connection to the fandom, as investigators believed that he and the boy had met on a furry internet site. When Berlin’s home was searched, wolf and cat-like costumes were found, and it was alleged that Berlin had discussed dressing up in animal costumes as part of having sex with the boy.
