You humans are a reasonably good lot -- on the whole -- but you really bother me when you say insensitive things. For example, some humans have said that the media overhyped Irene. Now when you're only 9 inches tall (as I am -- with ears fully-extended), several inches of rain is definitely problematic. But that doesn't resonate with humans -- just because they're all giants, they don't seem to think that several inches of rain is a problem.
Interestingly enough, humans are the same way with each other. They seem to care so passionately about what happened to Caylee Anderson and, admittedly, that is important. But a few hundred thousand kids die in Africa, and everybody says "What a shame -- is there any news about Caylee? I wasn't on the jury, of course, but I just know that her mother did it." Is it because most of these kids in Africa are black and Caylee was a cute little white kid?
Hey, remember -- I'm a stuffed animal. I totally get "cute". "Cute" can get you pretty far -- I have to admit that I've played that card to the hilt myself. But here's my question -- don't you humans feel like you have things just a little out of proportion sometimes?
