An experiment

What’s the point in having guinea pigs if you aren’t going to do scientific experiments on them?

I took two guinea pigs and exposed them to an episode of America’s Next Top Model in laboratory conditions.

There, it is now a scientifically proven fact. America’s Next Top Model is officially shit. Next week, The Jeremy Kyle Show.

In July of this year I shall be walking 78 miles in 6 days in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by my close friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005. Please look here for further details and consider sponsoring me. Thank you.

    I love guinea pigs. With a side of mayo on toast.

    I am, sadly, hooked on this show.

    Something about Tyra Banks making “pose, pose” sound like it’s TERRIBLY important life lessons… cracks my ass up.

    It’s nice to know that there are guinea pigs out there that are interested in more than just a pretty face in women.

    Yes, but that’s just all their anti-American sentiment coming out.

    Those guinea pigs are smart. I totally agree with them. Like, I so want that show to go away.

    Deb – She’s pretty chuffed with them it must be said. She sat for about an hour with one on her lap tonight.

    Avitable – You want to buy some of the babies when they are born?

    Miss Britt – never mind, we can still be friends. Kerry watches it too :/

    PG – Apparently they are as intelligent as dolphins. Even more so because they rarely get caught in tuna nets.

    Absurdist – As long as you are carrying a cabbage leaf you’re good as far as they are concerned.

    Holmes – But can you blame them? America is responsible for 80% of the worlds illegal guinea pig bating.

    Arjan – I’ve sent off a proposal to the BBC with that very same idea.

    Jason – Perhaps if we got the guinea pigs to write to the network we might be able to get it canceled.

    I am the only person in my office who doesn’t watch this show. So the day after it is on, for about 45 minutes, I actually get work done.

    I never thought I’d be agreeing with a guinea pig.

    Phil – You’ve got a way to go before you beat Xbox

    Bec – 45 minutes of work eh? that’s awful. Can’t you surf the net or something?

    Donna – And they don’t even bite, which is a bonus.

    Jeff – They have been pretty much confined to the cage so far, so haven’t had chance to leave droppings. I’m sure when they do Evan will pick ‘em up and eat them though so there shouldn’t be an issue cleaning them up.

    bon bon – I think they are like sea monkeys in that regard. I’ll just dehydrate them and you can add water when they arrive your side.

    Whit – It came bundled with the cage at the pet store.

    If PETA becomes aware of the torture you’ve inflicted on these poor creatures, you will be taken away for sure!
