Even though he clearly won this “fight,” the bull in the below video was reportedly killed by other matadors after running a horn through one bullfighter’s throat. … Read more »

A Sports Illustrated swimsuit model’s image on a plane is OK, but an ad with metal undies is too much? Really, Southwest? Recently, Southwest Airlines rejected this ad saying that it was “too provocative” for their in-flight magazine, “due to the lack of clothing the woman is wearing.” Can I get a ticket … Read more »
Some people don’t eat animals because they don’t want to support factory farming. Others are worried about protecting their health or the environment. Nicolas Cage has a much more, shall we say, X-centric reason for why he leaves certain animals off his plate: They have undignified sex. No, I am not making this up. Here’s … Read more »
Two female orcas at SeaWorld Orlando are pregnant—one is expected to give birth later this month or in early June—but we’re not celebrating. If the calves survive, what do they have to look forward to? Swimming endless circles in barren concrete tanks, doing circus-type tricks, and dying an early death. Twenty-one orcas died in U.S. … Read more »
