6 Genny 03.17.06 at 5:02 am

Man, and the people of DC get so excited over just one. This is 16x’s the cuteness!

7 Josh 03.17.06 at 5:10 am

Very cute! Too bad it’s just a photoshop job. :(

8 okaasan59 03.17.06 at 5:30 am

Not photoshopped. It’s a real “school for pandas” opened in China. Go to this link:

10 Heather 03.17.06 at 5:41 am

OH HOLY MOSES. The video! The video is just too much! I thought the photo was faked, too, but that video confirms all my wildest dreams of Cute Explosion.

11 bentong 03.17.06 at 5:52 am

Ahhh! so cute.

12 kerry 03.17.06 at 5:52 am

13 Mina 03.17.06 at 5:56 am

Are they all sniffing eachothers BUTTS or is it just me!! Cute!!

14 JessJess 03.17.06 at 6:14 am

HEHEHEHE! Watching them go down the slide was too much, I think my brain is going to explode!

15 Nose-fur-atu 03.17.06 at 6:18 am

I have the irresistible urge to jump in there and roll around with them.

16 Tom 03.17.06 at 6:22 am

Holy crap, that’s me!

17 Pucca 03.17.06 at 6:22 am

Pandas are the BEST -heart heart heart-

18 Mike 03.17.06 at 6:29 am

it’s 15, actually ^_^

19 kat 03.17.06 at 6:32 am

Not so sure, Mike. I count 16, and have read in all the reports on this Giant Panda Breeding Center that they currently have 16 cubs, aged 5-7 months.

20 Elanor 03.17.06 at 7:00 am

Rule number nine… check!

21 Subhangi 03.17.06 at 7:06 am

PANDA! PANDA! PANDA!

I’m deranged by the cuteness.

22 BenPanced 03.17.06 at 7:28 am

I want that one and that one and that one and that one and…and…and…

23 KarKar 03.17.06 at 7:39 am

That’s GOT to hit some sort of cuteness threshold. I’m surprised yourtube hasn’t exploded with these videos.

24 Amanda Lou Snow 03.17.06 at 7:44 am

Panda’s Panda’s everywhere.

25 Dawn 03.17.06 at 11:03 am

I really want to squish one of these panda’s, they look so chunky and soft, like a really good pillow!!

Also, I thought it was difficult for pandas to breed? I’m sure they have been trying in England for ages and had little sucess?

If I could, I’d sit one on my desk at work to keep me happy all day long!!

Squeeeeeeeee!!!!

26 Wendy 03.17.06 at 11:28 am

O.K. the picture is darn cute, but the video, oh the video! What precious, pudgy, precocious wittle bubbies! I truly can not stand it. Do you think I could get a job there? Do you think they’d let me cuddle up with all 16 of them every night.

I love, love, love all this cuteness. Keep it coming. I think I’m addicted.

27 Jessica 03.17.06 at 12:00 pm

I am a happy panda. :3

28 bryony 03.17.06 at 12:02 pm

29 bryony 03.17.06 at 12:02 pm

omg it is amazing i love it

30 Jan Spencer 03.17.06 at 1:00 pm

That is just awesome…

31 Barb 03.17.06 at 1:01 pm

Why don’t they just make a break for it? Sheer numbers are on their side.

32 chunkstyle 03.17.06 at 1:08 pm

I think a few of those are panda dogs… :>)

35 A thinker 03.17.06 at 1:25 pm

WOW! That’s like Cuteness Overload to the power of 16. I am going to be reeling from this one all day.

36 Wendy 03.17.06 at 1:29 pm

It’s Cuteness Overload Overload!

37 MilkyWei 03.17.06 at 1:34 pm

42 Denita TwoDragons 03.17.06 at 3:07 pm

I’d love to be dogpiled-upon by these fuzzy cuties! Or would that be “panda-piled” instead? ^__^

This is better than a cup of coffee, and sweeter than toast with honey!

43 Theo 03.17.06 at 3:13 pm

Ahhhh… bear therapy.

44 ariel 03.17.06 at 3:14 pm

toast with honey…..auuummm (in homer simpson voice)

45 finn 03.17.06 at 3:33 pm

panda-piled by fuzzy cuties, naked.
bare therapy.

46 M- 03.17.06 at 4:17 pm

Goodgooglymoogly!
If I should die before I wake I pray to God I end up in this pile of pandas! Are we sure we aren’t glimpsing what heaven looks like?!

47 Laura 03.17.06 at 4:47 pm

Greatest. Picture. Ever. I want to work for panda daycare!

48 hashi 03.17.06 at 5:38 pm

I love it how there is enough of them to SWARM things. SWARMING WITH PANDAS. That idea fills me with a love I cannot describe.

49 hez 03.17.06 at 5:59 pm

i love the opening scene where one of the pandas on the bench swats the head of another one walking by on the ground. hahahaha!

i accidentally watched the video while listening to Coin-Operated Boy by the Dresden dolls and it was the perfect bumbling-circus-y background music.

50 maria 03.17.06 at 6:03 pm

most definitely a photoshop job.

51 Nancy 03.17.06 at 6:07 pm

Oh, geez. Those cuddlies are like splitting-mercury balls of cuteness! I’d like to make a request for more panda action on cuteoverload.

52 Dustbunny 03.17.06 at 6:08 pm

Ooh ooh ooh…a plethora of pandas!

53 Theo 03.17.06 at 6:24 pm

Teeth… grinding…
Must… curb… peeve… rage…
[deep breaths]

Maria, some links for you:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11760083/
http://www.channel4.com/player/playerwindow.html?id=3639&vert=news

Don’t be The Girl Who Cried Photoshop. It’s unhealthy. If not for you, then for me.

54 finn 03.17.06 at 6:30 pm

then again, many of us have been there before.

it’s kind of a rite of passage, maria. just sit back & enjoy being skooled by theo and his eggbeater.

55 Theo 03.17.06 at 6:38 pm

Point taken, Finn.
I’m better now.

56 VaCKo 03.17.06 at 6:55 pm

I must MOVE TO SICHUAN.

57 a nut 03.17.06 at 6:59 pm

I want that job!!

58 dwarf rabbit owner too! 03.17.06 at 7:13 pm

A. J. “PANDAMONIUM” great one!

59 E. Collison 03.17.06 at 7:18 pm

I keep wondering when they’re going to figure out how to crawl up and flip that lock open…

60 dwarf rabbit owner too! 03.17.06 at 7:21 pm

Ooo baby…baby… bababababy x 16!

61 um 03.17.06 at 7:21 pm

hate to spoil the fun – this was clearly a photoshop pix.

62 Theo 03.17.06 at 7:22 pm

“Um” — see above, or be eaten.

63 finn 03.17.06 at 7:45 pm

B.O.B.

64 Theo 03.17.06 at 8:14 pm

Oh yeah, there’s this one too…

66 belle 03.17.06 at 8:20 pm

THIS is what I wanted for Xmas! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, so much cuteness in one place, I’m about to faint!

67 dwarf rabbit owner too! 03.17.06 at 9:54 pm

Oh my! How cute is that panda goin’ down the slide! Thanks for puting a link here Theo!

68 pandys 03.17.06 at 10:34 pm

I agree it is sooo cute, and sooo photoshopped. The shading is all wrong and proportions too, but who cares it’s cute!

And before you say “follow links” I did. And not a one had this picture on it, or anything close. IN fact, most of them showed the cutey patooties outside, not in a small pen.

69 Theo 03.17.06 at 11:03 pm

Pandys — follow THIS link, smartass.
http://www.pandafix.com/pandafix/more_panda/index.html

Normally I’d deep-link the photo directly, but you pissed me off, so find it yourself.

70 Maria 03.17.06 at 11:16 pm

WOW!!!!!! Really appreciate you being the authority and supplier of fresh pandas. I will supply your e-mail to all my friends, family, loved ones, and co-workers to ask for these pics in the near future directly from you and only you. Cheers!

71 Theo 03.17.06 at 11:44 pm

Maria, if you’re talking to me, um… my email address isn’t available to you, so good luck with that. You seem to have made malcantara728@hotmail.com available to the public, though.

The panda “authority” is a zoo facility in China, by way of PandaFix.com — which really is a good one to bookmark, by the way.

Now, if only OtterFix.com would go live, the internet would finally be finished & perfect.

72 TigerZahn 03.18.06 at 12:00 am

*pandaspasm* So…many…pandas…

73 Pan-Dog 03.18.06 at 12:56 am

More like Rascel Centrel

74 Maria 03.18.06 at 1:05 am

Yes. That’s the one. I’d love to hear from you. Here’s a great one for you. This one is a much better as an example of a truly great Photoshop panda photo. None of that cheap stuff that T-H-E-O is so fond of posting.

75 Theo 03.18.06 at 4:56 am

You know, I think someone has assumed that CuteOverload is *my* site, which is pretty funny.
Though — I suppose I did kinda go nuts here today; it was a very slow day at the office…

76 Jeff_from_MD 03.18.06 at 5:12 am

The panda kindergarten was publicized and covered like last year in china.

Pretty sad to see that when America only now sees a glimpse of it, even then they’re crying fake. Stop confusing real life with internet life. It’s gettin’ annoyin.

77 A thinker 03.18.06 at 2:49 pm

Theo: you could probably take over if Meg ever decides to retire.

(don’t do it though Meg!)

78 Theo 03.18.06 at 3:04 pm

[rubbing hands together with the thought of PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS]

79 Fall;;Out;;Boy 03.18.06 at 5:08 pm

Its like Inc-u-bay-shon all over again!!

x16!!!!!

<3

80 Anna 03.20.06 at 6:52 am

this is my favorite..I just want to lie down and take a nap next to these all these pandas! squeal!

81 Tokkie 03.28.06 at 6:07 am

I wanna hug all of them.

82 anon 04.01.06 at 7:59 am

sorry guys.. this is most certaintly a very amateur fake. worse than that whole GFP glowing bunny nonsense.

83 o.O 04.02.06 at 10:47 pm

Are all of these people crying “PHOTOSHOP!” and “fake!” white/non-Asian? This was covered in Chinese news like…last year or last last year or something. @.@ It’s very real.

84 o.O 04.02.06 at 10:50 pm

I just thought of something. =/ Maybe people think it’s fake cuz of “shading”. Pandas don’t stay white. =) The white parts go yellow-y cuz they get dirty, and it’s just varying degrees of dirtiness, not shading/lighting.

85 Kitsu 04.03.06 at 12:05 am

Awwwwwwwww…

86 Hazel 05.08.06 at 3:03 am

Aww..! I just want to hug one! Oh, and as to all the Photoshop people, follow the very first link posted. It will show you a very real news report featuring the pandas. Now, please tell me, how could someone with Photoshop rig an entire news crew, find a panda cub, and have him play with imaginary cubs, and film him sixteen times over? I’d love to be able to do THAT with Photoshop.

87 raechel 05.27.06 at 5:38 pm

i think this is what heaven will look like.

88 Kris 05.29.06 at 2:27 am

The cutest infestation ever!

89 jwin 06.07.06 at 9:39 pm

It’s Pandamonium!

90 Wonderland42 06.11.06 at 6:08 pm

Why is it that the people who cry photoshop post links to pictures they claim are “Superior Photoshop ACKSHUN”, and the pictures end up being really really badly done?

91 mashii 06.21.06 at 2:39 am

OMGSH! ^_______^
if i had a panda cub,
id name it CHIMI SAMURAI! agegegege =P

92 Rebecca 08.11.06 at 8:17 pm

Photoshop or not, it is very cute and that is all that matters to me! PANDA’s!!

93 L.B 08.17.06 at 5:52 am
