Triumph The Insult Comic Dog Poops On The RNC

Like a drunk Republican in her best sparkly clubbin' dress, Triumph The Insult Comic Dog crashed the convention in a plastic elephant costume, but for some reason they allowed him to stay and insult, humiliate, and fondle Republican politicians, delegates, and Karl Rove all week. Last night Conan aired Triumph's report:

On Palin: "She's a heartbeat away from being president and twelve years away from being a Great-Grandmother." They need to send Triumph to the debates.

Sarah Palin Is Going To Grenade Launch Her Hunting Partner In The Face

thumbnail: Sarah Palin Is Going To Grenade Launch Her Hunting Partner In The Face

It has been revealed that Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin supports the practice of "aerial wolf hunting," which to be honest sounds amazing and like the best thing. But apparently it's not and it's also horrible. Basically, what it entails is going up in a plane, finding a wolf, and chasing that wolf with a plane. Sometimes you shoot the wolf from the plane, but sometimes you figure that maybe it's easier to just keep chasing the wolf until it gets really tired and lays down for a nap, and then you land the plane and shoot the wolf in its sleeping face. Wait, whuuuuuuut? I'm not a vegetarian by any means, and I'm not even morally opposed to hunting, but that is so upsetting. Even Christian the Lion might have to rethink his position on humans and whether or not they are worth hugging.

But aerial wolf hunting reminds me of something else.

David Duchovny Wants You To Rub His Belly

thumbnail: David Duchovny Wants You To Rub His Belly

David Duchovny has been in the news lately, having made announcements and such about his recent troubles with sex addiction. Duchovny was one of my first grown-up TV star crushes, and I wish him the very best of luck getting the support he needs to -- Oh, fuck it all, there's no way to do this tastefully: I just remembered the Pedigree commercials for which Duchovny provides the voice of the dogs, like this one where he instructs the viewer to rub his belly, which in light of recent news, are now funnier. Because he's a dog. "Seriously. Rub it":

How To Hypnotize An Animal

The BBC has this report on chickens, pigeons, and alligators who have been hypnotized and look really funny just lying there:

I think we finally have an answer on what was up with that frozen cat from a few months ago.

Trampolinegum Will See You Next Tuesday

Gabe will be playing us out in a few minutes with some new Worst Movie choices, and then we 'Gums will be going off the grid Into The Wild-style until first thing Tuesday morning. This is how I feel about it. This dog is me:

Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend, and don't forget to watch the first big show of the blessedly-impending Triumphant Return Of Television To America: Gossip Girl Season Two premieres Monday night.

Jesus Brings His Distinctive Facial Hair Combo To The Back Of A Moth

It must be a slow news week for CNN, because when they learned that a Texas man had found the face of Jesus on a moth's back, they rushed to the scene:

It's kind of scary that the not-smart man helpfully labeled "Found Moth" actually MAKES FUN of people who have seen Jesus on grilled cheese sandwiches and other stupid places. He dismisses them because his stupid Jesus sighting is "cooler." The delusional people are getting smarter! Also, remember what the preacher says: it's important that you DO NOT WORSHIP this moth. This is the country we live in, y'all.

Scenes From The Grizzly Man "Prequel"

thumbnail: Scenes From The Grizzly Man "Prequel"

The Grizzly Man Diaries, a prequel-of-sorts to Werner Herzog's celebrated documentary about the life and death of Timothy Treadwell, Grizzly Man, finally premieres tonight on Animal Planet. Two episodes of the 8-part series will air every Friday night at 9 and feature some of the hundreds of hours of footage not used in Herzog's documentary. The New York Times reviewed the new series today and seem a little squirmy about it:

It seems obvious now that Mr. Treadwell...deluded himself into thinking he was more a member of the bear tribe than he was. How deluded was he? "Hi, Emmy; hi, Letterman," he says, addressing Melissa's two cubs after their mother has abandoned them. "It's your dad."

That kind of behavior among animals with a killer instinct makes this mini-series look like a chronicle of one man's extended suicide. And, especially since it is from some of the same producers who were behind the Herzog film, that leaves the program with a gratuitous, ghoulishly voyeuristic feel.

After the jump, four never-before-seen clips of Treadwell and the bears from the new series.

The Grizzly Man Of Star Wars Costumed Dogs

If Timothy Treadwell dressed his dogs up for Halloween and took video and then they ate him and Werner Herzog made a documentary out of it, this would be the best clip from that movie.
