Sorry Pixar; our clear winner in 2010 for achievement in computer animation goes to the folks at Taiwan’s Next Media Animation. Breaking out in late 2009 with a series of animations involving the Tiger Woods scandal on Apple Daily Online, the Taiwan-based subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Next Media Limited soon branched out to other subjects, and quickly evolved from simply rehashing the news to actually reporting it.
So it’s no surprise that Next Media jumped on the President Obama-Michael Vick comments almost as fast as Fox News did. Obama’s call to Eagles president Jeff Lurie, in which the Prez congratulated the Eagles for giving Vick a second chance, was met with derision by Fox fill-in host Tucker Carlson, who infamously said that Vick “should have been executed.” Others have criticized Obama for weighing in on the issue at all.
Many words have been written on the subject; but when you see an animated pack of dogs chase Vick into a prison cell, and then one of the dogs literally throw away the key, that tells you all you need to know with far less muss and fuss.
Also hilarious: Vick going to a pet store and being given a potted plant. “Listen, you prove you can care for this fern, and then we’ll talk about a dog.”

All animal lovers and anyone with a shred of decency should boycott all Eagles games. I refuse to finance Mike Vick. He should be forever barred from playing any professional sports.
Did Mike Vick give dogs a second chance as they lay there whimpering for mercy? No, all dogs who didn’t perform well were executed in a brutal manner.
Take a look at photos of the mercy Mike Vick showed the dogs.

http://www.jollybengali.net/theconfluence/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/gypsy.jpgThe Bible says, “You will reap what you sow” which basically means what goes around comes around. He should receive the same kind of mercy. He should stop being such a cry baby as if he is a victim and take what he has done like a man. Mike Vick will not change but find a way to continue dog fighting under the radar of officials. I say this because for years he participated in dog fighting and only stopped because he was caught. Even his own Father urged him to stop in 2001 and he refused. If a Son will not listen to his own Father, then who will he listen to?
Boddie told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that around 2001, Vick was staging dogfights in the garage of the family’s home in Newport News and kept fighting dogs in the family’s backyard, including injured ones which the father nursed back to health. Boddie said his son had been urged to not engage in the activity, but continued. He stated: “This is Mike’s thing. And he knows it.”If Obama wants Mike Vick to have a second chance then let the government give it to him. Recruit him in the military so he can observe REAL men and women doing REAL work and not for the absurd amounts Mike gets for tossing a ball around.
