I would like to share this website that I came across today with all of you out there:
http://www.savetoby.com
Once you go there you'll see this cute picture of Toby:
At first I thought it was a squirrel, but upon further reading, it turned out to be a bunny.
My initial feeling of this website is that Toby has some sort of disease and they are asking for donations so that Toby would be able to go under some sort of surgery. Boy was I wrong. Here's what it has to say:
After reading that, I started cracking up big time in my cube. I bet my cubemates were wondering what I was reading that's so funny. I especially liked the way they capitalized the word DIE in the sentence "...he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don.t help." Supposedly they have already raised over $20,000 of donations. I guess that's not too bad considering the site made it to NBC news.
Welcome,
Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet. Unfortunately, he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don.t help. I rescued him several months ago. I found him under my porch, soaking wet, injured from what appeared to be an attack from an alley cat. I took him in, thinking he had no chance to live from his injuries, but miraculously, he recovered. I have since spent several months nursing him to health. Toby is a fighter, that.s for sure.
Unfortunately, on June 30th, 2005, Toby will die. I am going to eat him. I am going to take Toby to a butcher to have him slaughter this cute bunny. I will then prepare Toby for a midsummer feast. I have several recipes under consideration, which can be seen, with some pretty graphic images, under the recipe section.
I don’t want to eat Toby, he is my friend, and he has always been the most loving, adorable pet. However, God as my witness, I will devour this little guy unless I receive 50,000$ USD into my account from donations or purchase of merchandise. You can help this poor, helpless bunny’s cause by making donations through my verified PayPal account by clicking on any of the Donate buttons on this site, or by purchasing merchandise at the Savetoby.com online store.
Hmmm... is there something wrong with me? Why do I think it's so funny? I guess it's just funny because if Toby was a cow or a pig instead of a bunny, people wouldn't react to this the same way.
How did YOU react to it after reading this?

Dude, you had one messed up childhood. i nearly cried while reading this, and i believe that all others feel the same way i do... it's apparent that you, pat li, are f*cked in the head.... fo' reals.
haha...that's messed up. How can you even think about eating your own pet....that's like cannibalism.
Exactly. I think it's funny how everyone jumps on the bandwagon and starts sending the owner hate mail. Here's a funny hate mail that I saw on their webpage:
"Hay Fuck Head, Go on I dare you!!!!!!!!! We have your I.P and you res address and enough contact to make wish you never thought of such a thing. If you think this is just an idle mail just try it cause we have been watching you. Remember.....Watch out for that car
From your friendly A.C.O.T.W But you can call me Scott (Code Name) "
Freakn nerd. "I know your ip, your isp, the manufacturer of your computer, cpu speed, memory, and hardrive speed...I'm gonna mass email you if you dare....oh yeah...if that doesn't scare you then my code name will....Mega Bite Wessssiddde
