This is a reprint of a Version 3 article written especially for Halloween.
Here is a Mediocre Minds Public Service Announcement. Don't dress up your pets for Halloween. Seriously. Don't do this:
Someone selling that dog outfit at work because it was "too small" for their dog. Here's a secret: dogs don't wear clothes. They didn't evolve to wear clothes. If your dog needs clothes, then it's living in a place where it shouldn't be alive. They especially don't like being put in clothes that are too small for them. Don't put them in clothes, okay? Just don't. They don't look cute. They look idiotic. Don't call it "Dog Vader". It's not funny. It's pathetic. Why are you putting that animal through that crap?
It's a dog. It's not a Barbie. It's not your kid. Leave the poor thing alone. If there's any justice, someone will put YOU in some other species' ideas of amusing clothing and cluck over how cute you are and give you snacks, you jackass.

This fills me with mixed feelings. He's the most popular Doctor ever and has taken the series to new heights, but I do admit he's been playing the role for a bit. I think this is a smart (and necessary) decision.

This is a big win for Harmonix, but I think the real test will lie in how well they market this information to the mainstream. I don't know how many hardcore gamers idolize the Beatles... those songs appeal more to the casual gamer.

You may be wondering who Mediocre Minds endorses for President in this upcoming election. (I have personally received several emails from high-level senators and senatorial aids asking just this question.) Well, after considering all the facts, we have come to a decision.
Olav Rokne's Flickr set entitled "Robocop on a Unicorn" contains this gem, asking us to vote for Robocop on a Unicorn for President this November. And when you think about it... doesn't that make a lot of sense? Wouldn't Robocop be tough on crime and terrorism? Wouldn't Unicorn take care of working class families and their problems?
Vote for Robocop on a Unicorn... unless you're not patriotic.
