France noted with satisfaction the announcement by the Japanese government to suspend the capture of humpback whales in the Antarctic.

Speaking of France, have you seen this French Orangina "Naturally Juicy" ad? It's filled with scantily-clad, stripping, and lapdancing critters. Are they anthropomorphized animals? Furries? I don't know what to call them. Though it is very weird, it is also a "visual feast," as the critics like to say.
