What in the world… February 4, 2009

It’s 9:05 on Tuesday night.  Just finished American Idol and was flipping through the channels when I came across a show on PBS called “Ferrets: The Pursuit of Excellence”.  It’s a show about people who are obsessed with their pet ferrets.  Apparently, they are preparing for the annual Ferret Buckeye Bash in Ohio.  I really can’t describe how disturbing this is to watch.  Every one of these people have won ribbons for their ferrets.  Megan says that they have OFD-Obsessive Ferret Disorder.  Just saw a dude with a “Got Ferrets?” shirt on.  Now a lady is singing a very long song about her ferret.  Is this a joke?  PBS wouldn’t air a joke show would they?  The lady is still singing.  The chorus goes “Ferret, oh ferret, when will you get enough?  Ferret, oh ferret, you have too much stuff.”  I’m not kidding about this.  I’m going to have nightmares tonight.  They are now talking about ferrets dying and going over the “rainbow bridge” where they will WAIT FOR YOU until you die and JOIN THEM.  Ummmmm…  They are now dressing them up in COSTUMES!!!  This is blowing my mind, and yet I can’t take my eyes off it.  It’s like a car wreck!
