Not that weird, I'd say. I dunno, that just doesn't shock or offend me one bit. I'm kinda curious about the legitimacy of that method of fighting cancer, but the act itself is not that shocking to me.
Glad to see this. I almost cried about Chief's heroic death. I love pits. Every one I've ever known was sweet and gentle. I'm happy that more people seem to recognize that violence isn't in their nature, but instead its a product of how they're raised.
Just remember, there's no such thing as bad publicity. NASA has almost fallen off the news radar, and a stunt like this puts them back in the public eye. Does it make people like them? Hell no. It makes them look like a bunch of dicks. While I'm sure they weren't planning on Colbert's invasion, 4chan tried to get "Xenu" to be the name of the pod. I'm pretty sure NASA would have ignored that too. $cientology's lawyers would be foaming at the mouth.
Any dog raised to fight will be mean tempered. Pit bulls are just the most commonly fought dogs, at least here in the US. I've seen many a pit that were perfectly well adjusted and never hurt a fly. They really are good-natured dogs. My friend had one that she raised from a puppy, and while it had amazing jaw strength (which it only used for tug-of-war), it also adopted a kitten which it raised. They were best friends (if you think that dogs are capable of friendship). I've never seen a chihuahua that I thought had anything close to a "friend". They may not be capable of much damage, but they tend to be mean as all hell.
Stop railing against the dogs, and start realizing that the problem is the owners.
Whaddya mean, when she was younger? Bea Arthur was a damn fine looking lady.
She will be missed.
