What the fuck is this?
From the b3ta newsletter:

media.disloyal.org/Pictures...

Alfie informed me that a firefox is, in fact, another name for his beloved red panda (is panda the plural of panda? hmmm)

It looks a bit huskie to me but I'm far from knowing in these matters. Is it a proper breed or is it just some dodgy hairdresser's experiment?

yup, that pic == fake and firefox == red panda. the firefox's also a classic case of reverse evolution, where its dentition "proves" it's wholly canine yet it's wholly vegetarian. (said assumption-driven process being responsible for the first firefox brought to britain (london zoo, iirc) nearly dying from starvation even though surrounded by all manner of meats, and only accidentally surviving as a result of a zookeeper taking pity on it and taking it out for one last run in the open before it died, at which point it zipped off into the bushes and ate every green thing it could lay its paws on)

Fake in what way? Fake dog? Photoshopped? An accident straight out of Pepe le Pew?

it's gel -- no way does it look like that when it gets out of bed in the morning.
