If you’ve been following this season of The Guild – an online Situation/Drama/Comedy that revolves around the lives of a group of gamers as they interact online and in person, you will have noticed a mysterious brown Canine fursuit stalking one of the characters.

In the first few minutes of the new episode, the mystery fursuiter is revealed as WIL WHEATON. Wil Wheaton, former child star from Star Trek: The Next Generation, geek blogger and now adult geek star (currently appearing in Eureka on SyFy) has had an at-times very vocal disdain for the Furry Fandom and fursuiters in particular, stemming from an incident at a convention where a fursuiter violated his personal space in an unwanted way.

More good fursuit dancing. Enjoy!

The sequel to Tail Concerto is dropping on the 27th. 2 days people. GO GET IT!

"One of the many epic moments to come out of Anthrocon 2011"

Editor's note: I find fursuiting kind of creepy. The dancing here is good though so it's worth the watch.

So it seems that a fairly tame, especially by today’s standards, furry-made fursuit video has made it publicly onto the web. The video in question? Room 366...

Some furs are absolutely up in arms about it “destroying our image.” Others are happy it got leaked. And a lot of us are like “meh.”

For the most part I’m glad this was publicized. In all honesty that “squeeky clean” image of furry needs to go. Everyone knows what exists beneath the fuzzy coat of furry, and its not innocent. And no, its not everyone either. Some furs are genuinely squeeky clean themselves. For the most part tho the majority of furs have SOME sort of sexualization towards their interests. I mean COME ON look at what some of the most popular images, videos, and suits are… Sexy. We are human after all, and sex is a innate part of our psychological makeup. The groups of “furry police” that try to shield everyone from things like this are just doing a disservice to the fandom. Saying “Oh no theres no sexual/kink/fetish component to furry, its just a bunch of creative people coming together for sheer camaraderie.” BULL. SHIT. All that does is shield the public from something that is there and they would eventually get used to.

Editor's note: GET OUT OF YOUR FUCKING FURSUIT AND GET A LIFE.

We’re thrilled to share this guest post by Brian Henson about his father—puppeteer, director and producer Jim Henson, best known as the creator of the Muppets. For the next 36 hours, we’re honoring Jim’s birthday on our homepage with a special doodle created in tandem with The Jim Henson Company.

WTF?

You've probably just had this URL dumped on you from an IRC channel, and are wondering what the hell it is. This project started as a joke about how incestuous the Australian furry community is.. and it just went downhill from there.

The graph is primarily created to show the nature of X-slept-with-Y events in the furry community in Australia, and is complete to the best of our knowledge. The names have been excluded on purpose to protect people's privacy, and to prevent people digging up any sort of inaccuracies in the data :)

PETA wants to get into porn to make people more aware of animal abuse.

The Norfolk-based animal-rights group has applied to launch a website under the soon-to-be-available ".xxx" domain, which will feature pornographic sites, Lindsay Rajt, the organization's associate director of campaigns, said Monday.

"As soon as we heard that the.xxx domain was becoming available, we thought that would be triple extra effective in helping us bring our important issues of animal rights and eating a vegan diet to a greater number of people," said Rajt, who is based in Los Angeles.

The site, she said, will have nudity and "sexually suggestive content" but not hard-core porn: "A lot of people distinguish between erotica and pornography, and this will be erotica."

The pornographic images, Rajt said, would lead viewers to "information and graphic imagery of how animals suffer in the food industry."

"That's what we hope will shock people, get them talking, question the status quo and take action that benefits animals," she said.

The idea will backfire on PETA, said Daniel Howard, a marketing professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

"It makes them appear as if their organization is extremist," Howard said. "Even though some have accused them of being that way in the past, they're about to confirm it.

"There are a lot of ways to get your message out there," he said, "but doing it through a pornography website is not a socially acceptable way of going about it, at least according to a vast majority of Americans."

Rajt said, however: "We live in a 24-hour news cycle world. We've found that it's the racier things we do that are most effective in grabbing people's attention."

The tactic would extend the group's strategy of using provocative images, often including scantily clad women, to gain attention.

"Nudity," Rajt said, "is a tactic that PETA uses with some regularity." Actresses have been photographed naked for the organization's "I'd Rather Go Naked than Wear Fur" campaign. And in some cities, such as Brattleboro, Vt., "we are able to do a totally nude demonstration," Rajt said.

That has made PETA a target for feminist groups. Rajt said everyone who participated in previous campaigns and will be seen on the ".xxx" site is acting voluntarily.

"They are willing adults who are dedicated to helping animals," she said. "We think people have the right to use their bodies as a form of political protest."

PETA, Rajt said, applied earlier this month to launch the website peta.xxx with ICM Registry, based in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. The earliest that PETA could receive approval, she said, is Nov. 7. If that happens, "we would be able to put it up that week."

Editor's note: Yes, this seems like a shameless ad. I think this is a clever way to share one's knowledge of animal care.

For the past week, inmates at Nebraska's Lincoln County Jail have been volunteering their time at the animal shelter, but little did they know on Tuesday they would be walking out with something else.

The jail has adopted two cats that will live with inmates.

Open Sonic is an open-source game based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe. It introduces a different style of gameplay called cooperative play, in which it's possible to control 3 characters simultaneously. Unlike most similar games, Open Sonic provides a greater level of interaction between the player and the levels. It's more than just a jump'n'run; the user must come up with some strategy in order to get through the levels.
