Ever watch Frasier and think your dog could trounce Eddie in a cute-off? Don't have any kids to hustle around Hollywood for pocket change? How do you even know if your pooch makes the grade when it comes to potential television stardom? Well, the LA Times got a rundown on celebrity canine characteristics from Le Paws pet talent agency and Pomeranian stage mom Melissa Howard. If you're aiming for Benji and not knock-off Boomer fame, the things your dog needs to know include tips like "get an agent," "get a publicist" and "you have to love it." Sounds about the equivalent of the advice they give would-be Hollywood actors, writers and directors.
*Yawn* Hey, how's it going? Enjoying your Saturday? That's great. Anyway, since I
always like to toss vacuous but entertaining tidbits your way on these lazy weekends, I thought you might enjoy this
old PSA for gun safety featuring Jason Priestly and a rapping eagle named Eddie. I've seen segments of this pop up
on television before, but this is the first time I've seen it in its entirety. The first scenario shows several kids
rooting around "grandma's attic." Now, I don't know who this "grandma" is but she apparently has
grandchildren of every race and nationality. That's got to be some kind of record. Also, a rap song about not shooting
guns is almost quaint, considering so many actual rap songs are about how much fun it is to shoot guns, and
people. Anyway, the point is not to just walk away from the gun, but to first do a few choreographed dance moves and
then shimmy out the door with your hands in the air like you just don't care. Enjoy the clip after the jump.
