    Puppersons are innocent! Innocent, I say.

  3. Theresa says:

    If puppies are the new pron, what is the new market inefficiency?

  4. jj says:

      Take a trip and set your mind at ease.
      Take a trip to moderation station.
      While you view pics of puuuuuuuppies.

      That’s what I get for not proofing my document.

    Ok, those ears are just asking to be soft-kronshed!
    [kronshe!]

    Bow-cheeka-bow-wow!

  8. JerilynS says:

    One of the comments mentions Maru by name! Go Maru!

  9. Fird Birfle says:

    1. Puppies = p0rn???? WHY how DARE you insult the puppehs that way?

    2. “Asparagus is the new peanut butter” :)

    3. Does this mean, that the M. Monroe pic, where she’s laying out on the red satin, was modeled after/ based on the puppeh pic above??? ‘Cuz there is a similarly dreamy & entrancing “come-hither” sense in that pup’s eyes ….

    • KittyMarthaPoo says:

      It’s so true. There the pup is, nude, all that blonde hair, with those bedroom (read: puppy naptime) eyes.

      GOD I love puppy (and kitty) porn.

  10. Jimbeaux says:

    *sneaks up*

    BOOP!

    *runs off*

  11. 260Oakley says:

    There’s no denying there’s plenty of kitty porn on this site. And I’ve often arrived to find a regular BEEP show going on.

  12. victoreia says:

    Amazing how some of the comment-makers totally missed the writer had his tongue firmly in his cheek…… *rolls eyes*

  13. Gigi says:

    Is Slate out of their minds???
    Asparagus is NOT the new peanut butter!
    Unfortunately Humus is :sad:

    But I agree, replace all porn with puppies, and kitties and everything cute. :lol:

    • victoreia says:

      I’m with you on the asparagus! I’ll take hummus any day!

      • Mary (the first) says:

        Actually, I think Gigi was stating the opposite….

        • Gigi says:

          I actually don’t mind asparagus or hummus, what makes me sad is that now you can’t bring a PB and J sandwich to school because of peanut allergies, some shcools even ask parents not to serve it at home! :sad:

          • TrixandSam says:

            Hmm, that is wrong. If you can’t enjoy a little “PB&J” in the privacy of your own home, what does that say about the American Way??? And if you browse for some PB&J action on the web in the privacy of your own home, what business is it of anyone’s?

          • violet says:

            Hey once you get into Peanut Butter porn its a slippery slope. Who knows where that will take you. Maybe a little Jelly next.

    Thanks, Meg!
    Being a contributing member of society, I didn’t have to waste critical man-hours reading the other paragraphs.
    I think I need to write a PhD thesis: the headtilt hormone oxytocin has replaced adrenaline (risk addiction) and dopamine (pron addiction) as the rush hormone of choice. And we all know manly men and womanly women get an oxytocin rush from a CO break (Teho and IBKC a case in point). And, co-CO-conspiracy theorists, you can’t make oxytOCin without CO.
    QED.
    And for the non-contributing members, OMG Pronies!!1!!

  15. Thank you, COers, for making Teh Qte more popular than Teh Pron.

    Draw me like one of your French girls.

  17. MudBug says:

    YEA ! You go Dani & Lori !!

  18. Arv9y says:

    Somebody here is a really “sick puppy” and I’m not talking about the actual dog, but rather the blogger or whatever she is who thinks her opinion is “right” no matter what anyone else thinks. As a fasion arbiter, she is one big FAIL!!!

    • ElishaB. says:

      ?????
      Eveyone can express their opinion. If you disagree with an opinion, that’s your right, after all this American. But be careful that you don’t infringe on other’s rights in your quest to voice your opinion…..let’s just agree to disagree and enjoy the cute. How can you not smile at teh CUTE!

    I’d like to add:

    TOE FLOOFS!!!!11!!

  20. Theresa says:

    PS: B E E P !

  21. Moi, Actually says:

    Yay for teh Pron.
    And for the permanently cute-sozzled dyslexia in which this site happily operates.

  22. Earwig says:

    Slate recently featured Ravelry (http://www.slate.com/id/2298584/) – I am so ontrend right now with kittehs and yarn…

  23. cuteismyporn says:

    I feel a little ripped off.

  24. Ilsa says:

    Cute > porn?

    I have to agree. I mean, you can only look at porn for a few minutes before getting bored/satisfied.

    But TEH QTE? You can stare at it all day and still not get enough.

  25. Starstorm says:

    OMG such a cute puppeh!!!! Looks exactly like my Honey when she was a baby lol I wonder if this pup is a shiba/cocker mix as well?

  26. Sparkster says:

    I promise that Cute Overload will *never* become the next Perez Hilton…

  29. BatBlaster says:

    And some recent posts show the decreasing quality of the cuteness here, so I guess its going both ways
