It's A Retarded Japanese Puppy Kind Of Day

Today we were saddened, weirded out, and, okay, maybe a tiny bit amused (look at that goofy David Bowie eye!) by a Times article about how the Japanese craze for tiny "bonsai" dogs (wasn't there a scary fake website about this or something?) has led to lots of damaged goods getting pumped out of puppy mills. There's even a slide show. What's next, Times, a big picture of a retarded white tiger named Kenny?
Oh, wait.
