The Daily Fur: Raaarrr

Sure, they may be cute, but they could still claw your face off. (Not the dude, the lion cubs.) These still unnamed male lion cubs played yesterday in the arena of a circus in southern Germany. They are brought up by kepper Martin Lacey, who feeds them milk because their mother doesn't have enough milk to feed all the cubs. What a lucky guy.



It's about time, America!

Fox

At last, after weeks of hanging on by the hairs on her chinny chin chin, Kristy Lee Cook -- the weakest Idolista by a mile, in my opinion -- got the boot on tonight's American Idol. It's funny that it happened about a week or two after she seemingly started to believe the judges' hype about her. Ah, well, she still has the national Idol tour to inflict upon us look forward to, and if Bucky Covington and Phil Stacey can carve out careers in country music, I think KLC's a lock for Nashville success, too.

Ironically titled race

I'm not sure if the irony was intentional, but the Rise School's Rise and Shine 5K walk and run begins at the ungodly hour of ... 1:15 p.m. I feel like I should run it on principle because I work nights and am far from being a morning person, so I'm always complaining about getting up early to run races. When it's not summer and 100 degrees by 10 a.m., why do we still have to race at 7?

But I digress. Sunday's run/walk benefits a school for children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities, and it's only $10 at Luke's Locker through Saturday, $25 on race day.



Tough crowd for Snedeker

Seems an anchor for Sky Sports in Britain feels no sympathy for golfer Brandt Snedeker, who basically choked away a chance at winning his first major with a 77 in Sunday's final round at the Masters.

Take a look.

Today's new comics

DMZ #30: I'm not a big fan of this series, as you can read in today's Fanboy column, but what do I know? Its writer, Brian Wood, has been nominated for an Eisner.

Captain America #37: Speaking of the Eisners, this book's writer and artists are among the nominees.

The Perhapanauts #1: Todd Dezago and Craig Rousseau are launching a new series about their team of paranormal investigators that includes a sasquatch and a chupacabra.

Noble Causes #32: Dynamo 5 writer Jay Faerber pulls a "five years later" stunt to attract new readers to this series about the Nobles, a famous superhero family.

Iron Man: Legacy of Doom #1 (of 4): Twenty-seven years after they first pitted Iron Man against Doctor Doom, David Michelinie and Bob Layton are at it again.



Today's "Get a Life" award goes to ...

A Hallmark store in New Hampshire has pulled a greeting card off its shelves after shopper Cyndi Desrosiers said it was promoting sexual promiscuity to teenagers. And the message on the $2.99 Hallmark card prompted Desrosiers to launch a campaign calling for its removal on a wider scale.

The card features two glasses of wine held by two hands and reads -- ready for this? -- "Pardon me... Care for some liquid clothes remover?"

Super-lame, yes. But I don't see where she gets the teen sex angle. Don't you have to be at least 21 to legally drink wine?
