Hashtag #roseVSraccoon is trending for me on Twitter.

Summer + Saturday + Slow News Cycle = Raccoon Throwing Infinite Loop

Making Twitter officially hit a noisy new low of nothing to talk about:

Which reminded us of the history of Reddit and Digg:

Raccoons are mean, nasty animals.... The only reason he didn't get mauled himself is the element of surprise.  Hopefully it wasn't rabid, Toaster is a pretty dog.

And one thing I've noticed around here is how large the coons and skunks get... 

Why so much hate?

1) The raccoon attacked his dog.

2) Even touching the raccoon for a little bit sent Kevin Rose to the hospital:

...which led to a Tumblr of Kevin Rose throwing things:

I'm sure he was freaking out trying to save his dog.

Raccoons are pretty resilient. Monkeys like to throw them, too.

This is great technique.

Yes, those monkeys really know how to toss a raccoon!

less violent?!? seriously?  as if forethought is part of the equation when you're saving a loved one from a mauling from a wild animal.

Needs a theme song. All great heroes have theme music.
