Moving away from the streets of Park City and Salt Lake City, a new piece by Banksy featuring America’s favorite terrorist popped up in the very natural surroundings of City Creek—for the record, Mormons gotta chill with using “City” in every location name. Also, good luck trying to cut this one out and sell it. Far away shot below. Read more »

Wow. The Financial Times has a ridiculously interesting article in today’s edition about the stray dog epidemic in Russia. Did you know that an estimated 35,000 strays roam the streets of Moscow?

As you may have heard, the New Orleans Saints, yes, THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS, defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship game last night to advance to the Super Bowl against the Indianapolis Colts.

For some time now, rumors have swirled that John Edwards made a sex tape with Rielle Hunter (Seriously, and this guy was almost our vice-president?!?!), the 80s coke whore he knocked up. Now Gawker has apparently confirmed its existence, and according to those who’ve seen it, the folksy charlatan from North Carolina is, ugh, gifted. Read more »
I, Kari Ferrell, am now writing for ANIMAL. I have no idea what this daily column is going to be about. I have many ideas—who I’d like to have sex with, but shouldn’t; an enlightening piece on various deli meats; daily haikus; what I’d like to steal—but am not sure which one I’m going to go with.
