Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day
Mar. 31, 2011
Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day: “The LA Pony and Critter Club held a one-day human pony ride event at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley.”
Meanwhile, across town, the LA Pony and People Who Inadvertently Overlook The Word “Human” In Flyers Club saw a flyer for the event and decided to go check it out.
Needless to say, they were expecting something else.

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Bob Parsons’ Elephant Problem
Mar. 31, 2011
This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons visits Zimbabwe each year to hunt so-called “problem elephants.” “It’s one of the most beneficial and rewarding things I do,” he writes.
Not surprisingly, some people have a problem with Parsons’ “philanthropy,” and they’ve taken to Twitter, Facebook, and every other opinion-voicing medium to express their disapproval and disgust. “What the f*ck is wrong with you?,” filmmaker Eli Roth tweeted. “It’s sick f*cks like you that make me think Hostel could really happen.”
Others have taken more direct action: PETA named Parsons’ the Scummiest CEO of the Year, while rival domain registrar Namecheap announced a special reduced transfer fee of $4.99, with a $1 from each transfer to be donated to Save The Elephants.
Defending himself against accusations of heartlessness, Parsons wrote, “I have the support of the people who really matter in this situation, the families of Zimbabwe — people who need help to survive.” However, while “problem elephants” are a real thing, Time‘s Ecocentric blog points out that shooting them is an extreme last-resort after non-lethal solutions like “chili and tobacco-based deterrents” have failed.
Also, “white man’s burden” is rarely, if ever, a valid excuse for an annual hunting vacation.
