Witness the greatest Animal Crossing cosplay ever
We're a bit torn between whether the above image is horrifying or brilliant. On the one hand, someone clearly drew massive eyebrows on this poor animal, whose uncanny likeness to Animal Crossing's resident musician K. K. Slider is certainly no fault of his (or her?) own.
On the other hand, someone did look at this dog, and realize that with the slightest modification they could create a most excellent cosplay. In either case, consider us in awe. Now all he/she needs is an adorable guitar, and a puppy-sized stool. But we suppose the poor thing's been through enough already.

This is disgusting, poor dog. Who the hell gets joy out of this?

Do you also say "poor dog" when they have their testicles removed against their will?
This is far less permanent.
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Mar 6th 2008 9:30AM
Or better: do you say "poor dog", "this is disgusting" when a poodle is sheered to look like a moron? Or when a long haired cat is shaved to look like a lion?

chrono I couldn't agree more what people to do dogs makes this this seem little nothing

I dress my cats in tuxedos and we have tea parties!
Burritoclock @ Mar 6th 2008 10:28AM
I do that too, we should totally get a party together!

I dress my cats like Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee and we recreate the South's surrender at the Appomattox Court House every April 9th.

@ Tuna / JCD thanks for the laugh.

I dress my cat like Xena Warrior Princess and we do the "Teeezalalalalalah" cry together all the time. Yes, I failed at typing that with a straight face.

Sharpy-ing your dog is hardly animal abuse, especially compared to the other horrible stuff some people do to animals.
He probably enjoyed it just as much as the owner did doing it. Dogs are like that.
Alex @ Mar 6th 2008 9:31AM
Perhaps, but it's still selfish of the owner, and a stupid thing to do to begin with.
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Mar 6th 2008 9:33AM
See above for how moronic you sound. There are plenty of things people do to their pets just to make them look good or silly, and being selfish has nothing to do with it.
Alex @ Mar 6th 2008 9:34AM
Thanks for telling me I sound moronic. Sorry to have an opinion different than yours. Good day.
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Mar 6th 2008 9:38AM
Having an opinion and "free speech" doesn't make you immune to ridicule when your opinion is counter to all logic and actual practice.
If you want to fight animal abuse, then try to do something about breeders who raise "guard dogs" through abuse, or poorly operated kennels, or dog fighting rings, or any number of other blatant abuses.
Claiming putting make-up on a puppy is abuse is absurd.
danny. @ Mar 6th 2008 9:46AM
I don't think it's that bad, but I certainly wouldn't draw on my dog. I do doubt that the dog enjoyed it as much as the owner did as you said above... My gut reaction is negative towards the owner on this one.
Nigeria: the graphics have amazing gameplay @ Mar 6th 2008 9:46AM
I'm really surprised nobody has brought up that marine "puppy throwing" video yet, if you want examples of animal abuse.
ViagraFiend @ Mar 6th 2008 10:07AM
Abuse would be beating the dog. Throwing it off of a cliff is murdering the poor pup.
driven2sin @ Mar 6th 2008 11:08AM
did you really mean 'good day'? i think you piss all over people but somehow care about this dog you don't know or will ever know - easy to care from afar
Naota @ Mar 6th 2008 3:52PM
@ Nigeria
That video's a fake.
Psaakyrn @ Mar 6th 2008 4:16PM
Just because worse things are done, doesn't make minor things any less a crime. Just because Bush is a douche, doesn't make JT any less a douche. Any questions?
baby sea tuna @ Mar 6th 2008 9:53AM
Eh, it's not like it hurt the dog in any way. I think it's pretty awesome, actually. Much simpler than this, too: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/25820
robert @ Mar 6th 2008 9:55AM
i don't want to sound like one of those "fake! looksshoppedicantellbytehpixelz" morons, but it is possible that there was no sharpie involved and you're getting your panties in a twist over nothing but a little humorous photoshopping.
of course i do realize that's almost unheard of on the internet.
PrivateRyan @ Mar 6th 2008 10:27AM
This is the best thing I have ever seen.
SinHarvest @ Mar 6th 2008 10:39AM
DIAF
I luv this pup
Fernando Rocker @ Mar 6th 2008 10:38AM
Maybe is a photoshop... can be easily done.
Grant @ Mar 6th 2008 11:21AM
i agree, and the pupils on most dogs arn't that huge. i'm gonna go with shopped as well.
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Mar 6th 2008 11:36AM
Its a puppy, they eyes are larger proportionally than an adult dog.
Plus the brows make the eyes look bigger anyway.
billychaos @ Mar 6th 2008 10:47AM
three days later the dog ends up dead from ink poisoning.
danny. @ Mar 6th 2008 10:50AM
Is that like getting lead poisoning from a pencil?
Grant @ Mar 6th 2008 11:20AM
mmmm, delicious graphite.
xenkylm @ Mar 6th 2008 12:40PM
You guys realize that dogs can't look at their own faces, and don't have an especially sophisticated understanding of mirrors, right?
I guess you could argue that it's mildly unethical, but you'd have to somehow explain what harm is actually being done. This dog does not know what it looks like.
Zegim @ Mar 8th 2008 1:52AM
I bet if that dog cared to look at his reflection he'd be happy of how pimp he looks.
Gratch @ Mar 6th 2008 12:09PM
"Now all he/she needs is an adorable guitar, and a puppy-sized stool."
While the guitar might be nice, cleaning up the puppy-sized stool gets old real quick.
Just_a_guy @ Mar 6th 2008 12:32PM
eeeek!
poor dog (unlees it was halloween.
maxamillion92 @ Mar 6th 2008 1:28PM
I hear that if you visit this puppy on a Saturday night he'll ask you if you want to hea a song and play it for you. Go for K.K. Fusion or K.K. Cruisin'
He'll even give you the aircheck to play it on your radio at home!
meist3r @ Mar 6th 2008 1:25PM
At least (s)he didn't dye the entire fur pink or strap a strange ukulele to the dog. And it's not wearing a sweater. That said, it's cute enough as it is. Save the marker for something more important =)
StevenRafael @ Mar 6th 2008 1:45PM
If I saw that dog being walked down the street, I would hand a twenty dollar bill to his owner.
Mabui @ Mar 6th 2008 2:14PM
I'll have to throw my hat into the "Poor dog" in the same vein as poodles who get trimmed stupidly, or otherwise. I'm not sure this is something the dog would have really enjoyed, but for the one on one time he got with his owner.
It isn't going to hurt him though, and is ridiculously cute, though I'd probably find it a little creepy as time went on (Especially if that is permanent marker)
Actually, I think the only reason I feel sorry for the dog is that he is probably way more cute without those huge eyebrows.
Drew @ Mar 6th 2008 2:48PM
The image is horrifyingly brilliant.
ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Mar 6th 2008 2:57PM

swimmingbird941 @ Mar 6th 2008 3:53PM
What breed is Slider/the puppy anyways? Never thought about it before...
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Mar 6th 2008 4:10PM
In my professional opinion, I'd call that breed "White Dog".
:)
Psaakyrn @ Mar 6th 2008 4:13PM
@Crono
Well, yes, castration is cruel. Not that it has anyhting to do with this.
ZeroCorpse @ Mar 6th 2008 4:19PM
Cosplay must die.
It's a blight on our hobby, and it does nothing to further the goal of changing people's negative perception of gamers.
I'm embarrassed whenever I see cosplayers. At no time in the good old days of gaming did we have weirdos who ran around dressing up as Space Invaders, Root Beer Tapper or Q*Bert. This whole "let's play dress-up" thing is a recent development, and I wish it would go back to its anime/manga roots and leave gaming alone.
Wearing a t-shirt or some part of a character's costume (a hat or pin or something) is probably OK, but going to the lengths of painting your whole body blue, running around with cardboard hair or elf ears, or drawing eyebrows on your dog..? It's just insane.
Cosplayers are one step above furries on the creepy scale.
Psaakyrn @ Mar 6th 2008 4:23PM
Game cosplay = creepy.
Team mascot cosplay = patriotic.
Olympic mascot cosplay = Huh?
Sonic & Mario at the Olympic Games cosplay = OMGWTFBBQ.
