In all fairness, the subject of this article is inaccurate. The young man in this video wasn't tased for refusing to sign a traffic ticket; he was tased for resisting arrest. Yes, slowly walking away from a cop who has asks you to submit counts as resisting arrest.

So, the real issue here is whether it's acceptable for police, when subduing a suspect, to use tasers in lieu physical restraint.

Is anyone else done with these "look at how unique and special I am" exposes on furries? I am a furry and the last thing we need is another documentary about enthusiastic eccentrics, surrounded by stuffed animals, waxing poetic about the beast within. We aren't all like that, you know.

I think we're ready for the next phase: network sitcoms, 60-minute dramas and indie romantic comedies with extemporaneous co-stars who think that new Orangina ad is totally hot. Enough brooding - bring on the joy! Then, maybe, the public will stop thinking of us as sexually frustrated nutjobs who constantly end up in documentaries and start considering that we're just regular people with goofy taste (so to speak).

This looks like yet another work of Chindōgu, the Japanese art of useless inventions. It makes me really happy this sort of thing not only exists, but it's popular enough to have a name and a history.
