The Anthropomorphic Diversity Support Association (ADSA) is retooling for 2004 after three years of inactivity. The information we get from this poll will help us to better serve the needs of the fandom.

Using the scale:

1 = very important or very useful
2 = important or useful
3 = somewhat important or somewhat useful
4 = not important or not useful

Some of you may remember the original Trigger Happy TV series by Dom Joly, where pranks were played on the unsuspecting London(UK) public. This superb series featured many cameos with fursuiters, including a bunch of squirrels raiding a nut store! A new series has been made that features similar atrocities, this time inflicted on the American public!

Results are in on the recent poll taken by the Anthropomorphic Diversity Support Association (ADSA).

Two quick apologies are in order, however. First off, placing the poll on LiveJournal was a mistake. We were unaware of the registration requirement when we created and put up the poll. Although registration did not require a paid account, this turned many users off. To remedy this, furries who emailed me privately received a copy of the poll. These were compiled with the rest of the results. We also apologize for the short duration of the poll. The Flayrah article was submitted several days ago, but didn't appear until Saturday. Not realizing this, we concluded the polling on Sunday.

That having been said, "read more" for the results...

CNN.com reports that California authorities have shot and killed a mountain lion that had attacked to mountain bikers in the Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park in Orange County.

Why does furry exist as a fandom? Why all the cons in public places where furs strut their stuff while wearing tails, ears, or full animal costumes? Why all the web sites? Was this not in order to be noticed? Congrats: you got noticed. There are several articles here at Flayrah about this, and these have generated blizzards of comments. Now you complain, complain, complain that the media aren't treating you right. Cry me a river! Furs b**** about a "Vanity Fair" article (Pleasures of the Fur) a TV show (CSI: Fur and Loathing) an MTV "documentary". All "unfair" and "sensationalized", well, guess what: that's what the press does. After all, it's not news if 10,000 airliners land and take off without incident; the one that crashes is news. That the vast majority of furs live the balance of their lives just like everyone else is not news. The one fur who wanks kids' toys, or yiffs in full costume: he is news.
