MTV may be looking for furries again
A Youtubber by the name of "berrymuch" sent me the following message in a Youtube PM. If it is for real, this is not good news. We all know how MTV has portrayed furries in the past. ( Read more ) | | Friday, May 18th, 2012 | 8:49 am

Further Confusion makes CBS 'Eye on the Bay'
Emmy Award-Winning CBS “Eye on the Bay” correspondent Dave Stoelk came to San Jose in 2011 to do a story on “Other Conventions” in the bay. Further Confusion was on top of their list. We had a great time putting together the piece during con. Finally, 16 months later on May 2nd, the results: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/05/02/eye-on-the-bay-those-other-conventions/The piece followed the show's format highlighting the fun and wacky side of our con with primary focus on the most obvious visual aspect, fursuits. While I would have hoped for a bit more information to be shared as to why we exist and what we have done for the community, the segment continues to portray FurCon in a fun and positive light. CBS News (different from Eye on the Bay) came to FurCon in 2010 and did a wonderful job in providing much of our mission critical information to the public. That piece can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqNQPJwQEgICheers and Chirrs! — Chairo (FurCon / AAE Director of Media and Public Relations) Current Mood:  happy | 4:38 pm

The 2 Bears
Came across this video and group called The 2 Bears with a video featuring a subway ride while wearing these off the shelf bear costumes, it is still somewhat furry though They also have a song called "Bear Hug" thats quite catchy and I can see played as a tune in the fursuit friendly part of a convention dance. | | Monday, April 23rd, 2012 | 4:31 pm

Student Film “Furry” released to the Public
From Furry New Network The film “Furry” is by Lindsey Batdorf, who wrote, directed and edited the project. Furry is a 20-minute comedy that was produced at Ringling College of Art and Design, as her senior thesis project. The film is about Ryan Wetherby, a 23-year-old illustrator who is obsessed with his childhood wolf character named Kitsu. He finally has an opportunity to get together with the girl of his dreams, a co-worker named Emily. He faces a dilemma, however: should he tell Emily about his furry obsession, or should he hide it from her? It doesn’t help that his “out-and-proud” furry friend, Terry, is always looking to convert new people to the fandom!
Furry from Lindsey Batdorf on Vimeo.
Having watching I will not give too much away. It is OK for personal reasons because I never care much for chick flicks. While there some strotypes but they are not like like CSI and I could identify in knowing obsessive furs like Ryan's friend and having family and friends getting information and reacting about furries from reading some info about furries form some trolling site or anti furry media.

Fabricated NZ Furry Fetish Article?
 Furries are covered in Lifestyle section of The Press online New Zealand newspaper, 4/14 edition. The article appears under the charming title "Fur Fetishists 'Just Nature Lovers'". It describes a meeting with Bunny and Mr. Wolf where they talked about the fandom basically as a fetish and dating scene; they were joined by three others, all completely in fursuit -- including driving(!) to/from the meet. In the comments on the site, NZ furries are calling out the writer for completely fabricating the whole article. One of the organizers of FurCoNZ (which was mentioned in the article) posted, "We're a pretty tight-knit community, and we do not know of the people you named in your article. .. We welcome the aformentioned Christchurch furries to make themselves known to us, as we'd be most interested to talk to them. But we have not heard of ANYONE mentioning any aspects from your article above, makes us think that: 1) you did make up a vast majority of the aritcle 2) you talked with someone that is completely not within our community." Similar sentiments were echoed by several other posters. The descriptions from the article don't seem to ring true to folks who know the fandom. Also, no furries are mentioned by fan/fursona name -- unlike almost every other article about the fandom. At present, the news site has left up comments calling them out for fakery. No official comment (that I can find) has been posted in response. | | Monday, April 9th, 2012 | 10:04 pm

Furries on "Check It Out".
Back in November, 2011, this group contained a thread where an individual was 'looking for Furries to interview on "Check it Out!,"', which was described as 'a very fun and open-minded show'. This thread appears to be deleted now, but if you're quick you can still read Google's cache of it. Anyway, there's now a teaser of the resulting episode, which airs on Sunday April 15. | 9:02 am

"A Thousand Words" - Furry fetishist character?
Eddie Murphy's "A Thousand Words" came out about a month ago, and was a box office flop--after two weeks it had made about $15 million back of its $40 million budget. It has the entertaining distinction of 0% positive reviews on RottenTomatoes.com. I haven't seen it, and no one I know has seen it. I'll ascribe it our collective good taste, then, that no one discovered and posted about the furry-fetishist supporting character. "During a conference call, he has talking action figures speak on his behalf… and other grown adults fall for it. This is the comedy, folks. Devoted assistant Clark Duke spastically confessing to a furry fetish is what passes for funny here; the same goes for “come hither” looks from a shirtless fat man in an elevator." -- film.com review, emph mine "Sex/Nudity: Many verbal references to doing the deed (in multiple locations, sometimes filmed while playing “furry animals”)..." --Christian portal site crosswalk.com"Clark Duke is additionally quite funny as Murphy’s dorky assistant who has a furry fetish." -- ahwatukee.comSo, did anybody out there actually see this turkey? Is it a recurring joke, or a just a one-off that the reviewers like to repeat? Current Mood: surprised | | Wednesday, April 4th, 2012 | 4:04 pm

April Featured Fursuiter of the Month - J.D. Puppy!
Just finished off my most recent Featured Fursuiter of the Month article for the Furry News Network (FNN), and I was lucky to get J.D. Puppy for this month's feature. He was awesome to interview and one guy I've been wanting to get to know for a long time.
The FNN Featured Fursuiter of the Month is a bi-monthly profile series where every other month I will choose one well-recognized figure in the fandom’s fursuiting community, offering a unique “behind the mask” look at their characters and lives outside of fursuiting, as well as how they found the furry fandom.
Though they are a lot of work (much more so than anything I write for my actual journalism job) I thoroughly enjoy doing these as they allow a unique take on the fandom that people don't often get to see, as well as portraying the positive side of furries. If anyone wants to nominate a fursuiter for a future story, let me know, I'm always open to suggestions.
Here's the story, enjoy!
