Giant British Cow “Chilli” is Huge, Captivates Americans

Not the actual cow

Is This British Cow a Threat to America’s Big-o-Centrism?

BRITAIN–Britain has something other than Big Ben to size America up to:  a gigantic cow.  Standing at about 6′5, the tall cow towers most other cow.  The British–known for their football (soccer), French Fries (chips), and chips (crisps)–may not be the Hummer driving, skyscraper-loving, monster-truck-captivated people that Americans are, but perhaps those “Everything is Bigger in Texas” bumper stickers might feel a little dwarfed in comparison to the bigness of British cow.  http://www.robdiamond.net/category/.westernflavabuckles/

“America has always been quick to document its unusually huge things”, says sociologist Dr. Jonathan Sykes of the Boston Research University.  “We have the biggest buildings, the biggest tomatoes, and the biggest portions of food… people make big balls of chewing gum for no apparent reason”.  Now that Britain has a cow bigger than most American cow, it could be the start of a new Cold War–this time with Britain.  Forget the space race, it’s the battle of the bovine.

Americans everywhere are either captivated or offended:  “[There's] no way we’re going to have them Brits beat us in big cow”, says cattle-raising Texas farmer Glen Roper.  “I’m going to start feed’n my cattle some crumpets and cheese so they can be as big as the British cows”.  Americans involved in livestock see this as a challenge, and they’re taking it very seriously.

“A war like this could only be solved through a sporting event with American cows against the British cows”, says Sykes.  “I know that cows can’t play soccer, but why not try?  We could then know whose cows are the strongest.”

Morgan Spurlock’s New Dog Umentary: Green Puppy in America

May 9, 2008 · 1 Comment

Morgan Spurlock “Dog-umentary” (get it?)

CALIFORNIA–Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock is tackling an important issue in a current anthropomorphic documentary that he is working on for FX television:  green puppies and how they are ostracized in American society.

“It’s hard being a green puppy in America”, says Spurlock.  “It’s not every day where people run into temporarily green dogs, and the moment a dog is green, everybody gets paranoid about it.”  Spurlock will become a green puppy for the documentary.  How he will achieve this hasn’t been stated, but Spurlock says that the “dogumentary” will open peoples’ minds on how green dogs are no different from other dogs.

“I just want people to think for themselves and come up with their own conclusion on the documentary”, says Spurlock.  Spurlock aims to go for his usual confrontational style, reminiscent of Michael Moore’s early documentaries.  “I think that people will see that these puppies are just like other dogs, and at times, they can add a lot of culture to our canine demographic, such as [for example], being green.  They are also pretty green.”

“In one segment of the film, I enter a dog show as a green puppy, and it’s a bit of a conundrum”, says Spurlock.  In the segment, Spurlock challenges the traditions of just what canine beauty is, as well as revealing the hidden prejudices of snobby dog show judges everywhere.
