ADVENTURES IN THE DESIGN WORLD™: SugarBushSquirrel.com

Easily one of the top five most disturbing things I will see this year (right up there with Shia LaBeouf's "nutsmack" scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and John McCain's "lime jell-o" speech), the Pelzmantel-spotted website SugarBushSquirrel.com has given me the heebie-jeebies several times throughout the last 24 hours ever since my first exposure to it.

It's just so chock-full of disturbance...the equation of dress-up squirrel with rabid patriotism; the obsessive over-abundance of links; and, most importantly, the thought that somewhere, someone is spending way too much time creating outfits for, and then putting them on, a domesticated squirrel. It's not like I don't have a painful enough personal history with squirrels as it is. Sheesh.
