"OMG Baby Teacup Chihuahua, *@!$*# ADORABLE!"



Yes, it's another "take a video of miffy and muffy, put it on youtube, and label it 'Cutest Dogs Ever!!!!!!" But this one kind of caught me by surprise. For starters, the delicate piano playing is quite a choice for such video. I was expecting to to hear little whines from the dog or at least to hear from the human being like, "Look over here! Aww, Look! Muffy, hey muffy, no, no, right here.. look at mommy!" But instead the baby talk was covered up by soft piano music which in some cases makes it even more cliche because of the delicate setting they're in. And as if it couldn't get any better, suddenly to the left of the screen you see a bank of america card randomly sitting there while the dogs are tripping over it. It is then that we see how telling the video is. These tiny 'teacup' chihuahuas are known to be a status symbol among the stars and hollywood. Elite america is fascinated with these dwarfed creatures and will spend an exponential amount of money (ranging from 2,000-5,000) on one dog-think Paris Hilton's "Tinkerbell". On top of it, because it is such a money maker, people specially bread these dogs until are as dwarfed as they are. So when you think about it, it's all kind of disturbing. Artistic 'embellishment' with dog and credit-card for this one was quite self-revealing. Needless to say, 1,604,850 people have viewed this video.

I like the way you wrote about this vid. Very interesting. Conjures all sorts of exciting ideas about life.

it always weirds me out when dogs shiver like that. it is also strange that someone would let their credit card get viewed on youtube.
