Here’s a little op-ed piece from Animal Internet, in which the age-old question “Why can’t herring be fish of the day?” is taken up and discussed. I know that most of you don’t have time for yet another pressing issue like this, but if you take a minute and read through Slitterman’s piece, you might just start thinking a little bit more… about… um… herring…

How come herring has never been the Fish of the Day? What are we, chopped liver? I bet chopped liver gets to be Fish of the Day before we do. What’s it say about the menu industry when a non-fish is gonna beat out a fish to be Fish Of The Day? Something doesn’t smell right, that’s what it says. And when a fish says that, you should listen.

The first time doesn’t have to be a whole 24 hours. Fish Of The Afternoon would be fine. We just want a shot to prove ourselves. People like herring. Just because we’re not as popular as tuna or salmon that shouldn’t disqualify us. Look at BMW. More people buy Fords but you don’ see BMW dealers complaining. Not a perfect analogy but you get my point.

And consider this: we’re high in potassium. What about that? Huh?

It’s time to give herring a chance. I guarantee we’re going to surprise you. Remember the Titanic? Nobody thought she’d sink but she did, didn’t she?

Again, not a perfect analogy but you get my point.

Of course we do. There-there, little fishy.

Turns out that the hype behind Nature’s Miracle, the product that cleans up stains and fights off odors after pet accidents, is just that: HYPE!

As Animal Internet’s roving repawrter Jackdog reports, there really is no actual miracle involved. Jackdog says in his article:

Nature’s Miracle removes pet odors from carpets and upholstery. It’s a good product but let’s be honest, what it does – not really a miracle. I’m not saying removing urine odor is easy. But doing something the rest of us can’t do doesn’t automatically elevate it to miracle status.

According to Wikipedia, a miracle is a “divine intervention by God in the Universe by which the ordinary course and operation of Nature is overruled, suspended, or modified.”; In other words, turning water into wine. Raising the dead. Getting all those clowns into one car. But pouring something onto cat piss and making the room no longer smell like cat piss? Sorry, application for sainthood rejected.

Them thar’s fightin’ words, Jackdog. Ain’t no miracle, you say?

Well I’ll be.
