Completely nuts

Sometimes you're just stuck for words when you come across some weird little corner of the internet. And so it is that I present to you Sugar Bush Squirrel, the "world's most photographed squirrel".

SBS is that staple of You've Been Framed and other schlocky TV shows; the performing pet. Is this squirrel abuse? Is this rodent cruelty?

I'm not sure, but what's even more bizarre are the reasons that Sugarbush's owner, Kelly Foxton, gives for her flights of fancy:

"Kelly has decided to continue her mission to boost the morale of our troops by photographing her pet squirrel in cute military shots.

That way the guys and girls keeping our great country free and helping to bring democracy to the rest of the world, will have a little 'Military Mascot' to carry around with them in their pockets to remind them that we, back here in America, are with them all the way.



It's weird, it's freaky... but I just can't stop looking.
