Ratty went a courtin'

Blasphemy!!!
Fark included a post from the London Sun about a potential "squirrat." A cross between a rat and a squirrel ... say it ain't so.
What is the world coming to when a squirrel can be besmirched in such a way? These tabloids must be brought to a stop, using papparazzi to catch a squirrel when it's not at its fluffy-tailed best or even, heaven forbid, using photoshop to create and alter an image.
There is no end to their evil.
Let the squirrels play in peace.
