(Which I like. I LIKE the swear words. But it might be off-putting to have it in the title)

A friend of mine sent me a link this morning to “ED’s Furry Fucking Guide to Metal,” a video by the character Edward Tubbs, who’s a star of the MTV UK show FurTV. I’ve seen bits of the show, and found it heavy on the shock (not unlike dotBoom), but light on the characterization and heart (unlike dotBoom), and it’s not a show I’m hunting down to watch; I think that shock works as a platform for content, but if you don’t say something meaningful after you’ve gotten someone’s attention, instead making another fart joke, I think it’s something of a waste.

That said, the video is well edited, the puppetry works well, and it’s got a good kinetic energy. Also, hey, it’s puppets, and I always like seeing more puppets in the culture. There’s always room for more of that, as far as I’m concerned.

(Warning: This does contain a fair bit of foul language, in pretty much every moment of it)
