Now We Have To Worry About The Purple Squirrels?


“A central Pennsylvania couple say they’ve captured a purple squirrel in their backyard. Jersey Shore resident Percy Emert says he and his wife, Connie, caught the purple squirrel Sunday in a trap with peanuts. He says even the insides of its ears were purple. Photos of the purple squirrel ended up online. The couple say they released the squirrel. They say a state game warden later took samples of purple fur left in its cage and trimmed from its tail.”

How does this even become a story? It's so obvious that some high school loners caught a squirrel and dyed it instead of dissecting it - which really should be the story here - "Is your kid dying squirrels? It's the latest fad that parents need to be aware of."

A quick squirt from a paint spray can by some tagger and voila -- punk chic squirrel!

I really need to capture my blonde squirrel. She's no bottle blonde!
