here's some highlights from Animal Planet's Fourth Annual Puppy Bowl. Just from the clips I linked to, it looks like some kind of bizarre Youtube joke, but as the NY Times points out, it's apparently incredibly popular, and as I discovered watching the clips, oddly addictive. Them puppies is just so darn cute! Still, I can't help but be bemused by the NY Times article, which reads almost like something from The Onion simply by virtue of the topic.
Hey! I was watching that this evening! (I found it while scanning the channels during the commercials and then just kept going back to it). It is awesome!
