Last night (9/25) on the local (NYC) NBC news, they ended the show with about a 30 sec (or less) bit of ferret racing in Australia. They showed several long PVC pipes with a handler pushing a ferret in one end. Then the camera angle changed to looking down the tube as a ferret "dooked" his way through. The final scene showed a little face poking out the end of the tunnel. It was pretty cute. It seems that a local Australian fad is to race the ferrets. I don't remember what city or state it was in and they didn't mention if this was a ferret-fun fest or what, but with all the talk lately of ferrets in the movies, here's another example of ferret propaganda. G'day to all ferrets and friends, Irene [Posted in FML issue 0963]
