    The French are at it again

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005450117,00.html

    Stray dogs are being skewered on hooks and dragged behind boats as live shark bait, The Sun can shockingly reveal.

    The cruel practice takes place on French-controlled Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, where Prince William spent two holidays.
    A six-month-old labrador pup was recently found ALIVE with a huge double hook through its snout - like the dog above - and another through a leg.

    I wouldn't put too much trust in The Sun as a reliable news source, so I'll put off believing this for now, since they're notorious bullshitters.

    If true, though, that's pretty sick.

    You never know because there are some sick people in this world, but McKain is right about "The Sun." Besides, I'm not a shark expert but aren't they more attracted to blood than a dog skiing?

    As much as I can't stand the french, I'd put very little stock in this story. The Sun is about as reliable a source as an Internet messageboard is for accurate news coverage.





    The only good thing that ever came out of the sun, other than humorous spoof'd stories is Page 3 Girls.
