What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA rescued Rottweiler-Poodle mix is going viral because AOL reports she looks like a giant stuffed animal that rolled around in cookie crumbs.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRight, and where in Florida did this happen?

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNowhere, Dale, but cookie crumbs on a fluffy thing is spiritually Florida, because it's basically a strip mall with ears.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe story doesn't mention Florida once, and it doesn't mention strip malls either.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's what they want you to think. She's part Rottweiler, part Poodle, and basically a living teddy bear that somehow got loose from a build-a-bear workshop.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA buffet that barks.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFlorida Man Rating: one alligator, because there's no man, no Florida and no crime.
