Your video, Small Dog Eats Lipstick: Dog eats her owner’s lipstick., has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I have a story... Back in the early 80s in PA when I was a callow, I wanted a dog. My parents and I went to a pet shelter. I found a cute small dog. We went to a tiny room with a worker and this dog. The dog decided to poop a huge long smelly solid poop on the floor. And then, I said nevermind and stuck with smaller easier managed pets like fishes, hermit crabs, etc.

Or anywhere with bears like yesterday's local news in L.A. area: http://abc7.com/news/small-dog-chases-large-bear-through-yard-of-bradbury-home/1973345/

Please don't make this cost $5000.00.
Good stuff. I want one with a back seat big enough for a small dog. Then I could leave the car home for 9 out of 10 trips I normally make.

Do NOT f with a Jack Russel. Clearly, don't f with lions either, but Jack Russels ain't just your average small dog. Those things are calculating killers. Not the typical man's bestie and not simply small dog syndrome.

*quality Small dog syndrome!

There are actually a couple of other happiness-increasing technique that is somewhat non-intuitive, is shown to increase happiness in repeated studies, and is fairly easy to implement and difficult to reverse: Having a dog or cat.

It appears that being needed by the animal makes the human feel as if they have intrinsic value which...I mean it would be nice if we had that without pets but, there it is. If you want the best bang for your buck, I would suggest a small dog or cat from the pound as it will eat significantly less food than a bigger animal.

Another life change that actually effectively increases long-term happiness on average is marriage. This seemed a little too hairy for this video though. Also, DEFINITELY NOT DOSE-DEPENDENT. One spouse...better for happiness. Two spouses USUALLY NOT.

So there you go...get a pet, get hitched, and shorten your commute. You need to get home anyway, so you can feed your dog!

What a great discussion, but those fucking dogs. I hate small dogs. Not all of those small dogs are bad breeds, but collectively they're like a gang of snappy, squeaky, barking leper gnomes with sharp teeth. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Interviewer is like JESUS.

Anyway. lol -- concise theory on the current state of the presidency -- and the American class war.

*length=1:00 Small dog syndrome?

You remind me of the time my grandmother, at 91 years old, was walking her small dog on Memorial Drive in Houston (MAJOR street, up to hundreds of cars per minute). She tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and fell hard on her face, smashing it badly and knocking out some teeth. She ended up crawling well over 2 blocks on hands and knees in full view of the street (no bushes or trees obstructing the view), bleeding profusely down her face, and not a single car stopped to help. That was over 6 years ago, and it still boils my blood that so many people are so uncaring/unhelpful, and it makes me think these are likely the same people that beg for help at the slightest discomfort in their own lives.
Sometimes I just hate humans.

Chock full of facts, but ultimately too polemic for my taste. The "small dogs look unhappy" comment put it over the line for me.

Downvote.

The animation was pretty, but I'm all about storytelling, and the content wasn't even good for high school. Right from the beginning, what was the point of showing the showman as unable to get an audience? This had no effect later on, but it's half the show. Why weren't people impressed to begin with? Doesn't make sense. Why were they crying when he left? He didn't touch their hearts or improve their lives; he gave them things.

That's all meh. What really irked me was there's all sorts of clichéed assumptions made all the way through: all small dogs want to be big and/or male owners of small dogs want big dogs; children are unsatisfied merely imagining that sticks are airplanes; all women want to be big blonde princesses or to have fancy handbags, and all leaders want giant monuments built for them. Puh-leeze. It was less Needful Things than playing on tired stereotypes.

I especially didn't like the implication in the end that old bald people with bad backs are less trustworthy. I understand "ugly/old/bald" has been a common shorthand for "bad person" when there isn't enough time to develop a character properly, but inviting the audience to judge people based on their appearance is something I expect not to see in a modern production.
