Republican family values send another politician to prison. . . .Via Howie:
Investigators believe Mr. Berlin and the boy met on an Internet site for "furries," an online community of people who adopt half-animal, half-human personas.
In one message, according to the complaint, Mr. Berlin requested pictures of the boy and wrote, "When will your folks be out?"
Other messages describe various sex acts in explicit detail and refer to "yiffing," which is a "furry" term for having sex.
It only gets funnier from there...
Sad Panda does not approve, sir!

I learned about "yiffing", "skritching" and "furries" from the CSI episode "Fur & Loathing in Las Vegas"...it's one of my fave episodes to this day. My friends and I were in New Orleans for Halloween (and the Endless Nights Vampire Ball) and that was on the Thursday before and the rest of the weekend we burst out laughing when we'd see someone in a furry costume or one of us would blurt out about yiffing...
Good times...

But I thought Sad Panda was a symbol of existential malaise! Instead he is just another fetishist? How depressing.

Who knew "yiff" was a verb?
Frankly I wish I still didn't. This simply proves that no matter how depraved you think the Goopers are, they can still surprise you.

Wow. I just read an article on Yahoo about a guy being arrested for having sex with his dogs who was turned in by fellow members of the furrie movement who witnessed it. That was the first I'd heard of "furries" and now this! Can't find the darned article now but I'm beginning to think I agree with Pansypoo.

A photo of the rather infantile looking Panda Man.
A blogger writes: “Is there a worse thought in the world than looking out into your backyard and seeing a giant panda bear screwing your son in the ass? Let me think for a secon….No!”

I *refuse* to do a Google on "Yiffy Lube" - as I'm 90% certain that such a thing actually exists out there in the vast wasteland of weird.
Eeeewww.
