"Have we as a society grown so irrational and psychotic that we have to be reminded that there is a boundary between the reality outside our heads and the fantasies within? Are we in danger of drifting into a stupefied slumber where the figments of our dreams can claim the rights that we have previously reserved for concrete entities? The characters of fiction, written down as literature, drawn as manga or anime, expressed in the multitude of means technology has granted to us, lack independent agency. By hijacking our mind's ability to empathise and reason about other minds they creat

"Johnny Depp has always been a chameleon when it comes to his movie roles, and now he actually gets to play one. Well, voice one, rather. Check out the awesome new trailer for Rango, from Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski. It's the story of a chameleon who has problems "blending in," a Western and it looks like loads of fun. It's painful knowing it won't hit theaters until March. Is it too early to camp out for tickets?"

Time to make that cow fursuit pay off. Each year, the Chick-Fil-A restaurants celebrate Cow Appreciation Day, an unofficial holiday, in the month of July. The restaurant gives away a free Chick-fil-A combo meal to people dressed like cows on Cow Appreciation Day. The restaurant will only give away free meals to those who are "dressed like a cow from head to toe".

"Admit it, you've sat at home imagining what goes on each year at Anthrocon when human-sized animals roam the city of Pittsburgh. You may have even taken a drive past the Convention Center just for glimpse. This year a small group of us decided we would get up close and personal with these large fuzzy creatures because really how much do we know about our Furry friends? Well we had questions and I was willing to ask them."

"The Anthrocon convention opened in Pittsburgh Thursday at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, at least the fifth year the group has convened in the Steel City. Anthrocon is a gathering of those "fascinated with anthropomorphics, which are humanlike animal characters," according to the group's website; the group also refers to themselves as "furries." According to Pittsburgh Business Times research, the 2008 Anthrocon had 3,390 attendees, and accounted for 2,475 hotel room nights. It ranked as the 13th-largest convention of that year. The 2010 Anthrocon runs through Sunday

"The furries are in town for the annual Anthrocon convention, the world's largest convention for those fascinated with anthropomorphics, human-like animal characters. Thousands of furries come every year in June and cause quite a stir on the streets on Pittsburgh. Most people stop and stare. Some even take photos with the furries. "It's part of expressing yourself physically and emotionally. It's an alter-ego. It has a lot to do with art," said a furry who said she was dressed as a monster. "A lot of my personality traits fit a husky. I love being cold. I love being outs

Would the furry or business mascot wandering around in Scotland please contact the media? They're bored and looking for someone to interview.

"First off: happy birthday to anybody out there who might have a birthday today, but I'm not naming names. Second off: Another AnthroCon has come and gone, and it was fun; not a big winner moneywise, alas, but as we were basically doing a clearance sale of old material, that was expected. Until I have a good, solid new project, I am coasting a bit, and the sales reflected that. The new buttons were a hit, which pleased me. I was deliberately going with something more generic than Suburban Jungle-specific buttons with this batch, and I think it paid off. I am always amused at "other fando

"The furries turn me into that little boy. I mean, how can you NOT smile when you see this walking down the street? SO. MUCH. AWESOME. Every year I look forward to Anthrocon weekend in Pittsburgh. Usually I'm all about the chance run-in with someone in a fursuit, but this year, I took it to another level."

"This past weekend I landed, quite by accident, in the middle of Anthrocon 2010 -- the annual conference at which the whole Furry Fandom convenes. It was a happy accident: I happened to be at a wedding in Pittsburgh, and our flagging after-party sure roared to life when a half-dozen costume-clad furries lumbered in. I took a Little Red Riding Hood-esque picture with a big, bad wolf -- who, underneath all that plush, is a vet. My friends mugged with a ... black sheep. And, on the drive home, I couldn't help telling my sister all about the rather surreal scene -- half the lobby was wea
