Bob म्हणाले...: Hippos are disgusting. They have a filthy habit of spraying liquid feces while spinning their stubby tails like a propellor, flinging poo more efficiently than even a liberal blogger.; १६/५/०८, १२:५६ PM
George M. Spencer म्हणाले...: When the clip started, I thought it was one of those "3 a.m." bits, and Hillary was going to call in an air strike on the purple beast.; १६/५/०८, १२:५७ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: heh...I thought is was one of those gruesome Canadian PSAs that show dreadful accidents. (Don't click on that link!)

Thank goodness the hippo didn't gore the cute kitty!; १६/५/०८, १:४५ PM

El Presidente म्हणाले...: The house hippo is threatened by global warming.; १६/५/०८, ३:१७ PM
vbspurs म्हणाले...: Americans also had a house hippo!

Big, cute, rather innocuous, but he'll eat you out of house and home if you let him. Plus he'll shove a lot of crap down your throat, if unaware.

They called him Pierre Salinger.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: What I like about this PSA is that it is equipping kids to look out for themselves. It's not about shielding them, but cluing them in that people will try to trick them. I like that.; १६/५/०८, ३:३१ PM
Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...: I like it too. Critical thinking is something that we don't seem to be imparting to our children.

Although...I wonder where I can order a house hippo?? They didn't give a web site. It might not be as cool as sea monkeys but I think my cat would enjoy a companion during the day.; १६/५/०८, ३:४५ PM
Methadras म्हणाले...: I want a house hippo. Seriously if a hippo came in that size I'd get one.; १६/५/०८, ४:३१ PM
LutherM म्हणाले...: There are those who look at things the way they are,
and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and
ask why not?

Robert F. Kennedy 1968

To see a World in a Grain of Sand.
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
