When I was in middle school, every day at lunch the boys in 7th grade would play the 8th graders in a game of soccer. Except it wasn’t really soccer. It was just 30 minutes of the 8th graders tripping 7th graders. There was no referee or anything resembling adult supervision, and I’m not really sure why the 7th graders went through with it every day.

That’s what April 1st on the Internet feels like. You show up for the soccer game of information and entertainment from your favorite websites, and the A-holes just want to trip you.

Well, it sucks and I hate and I won’t do it. Instead, even though I may hate horses, Warming Glow is having April Foals Day. No chicanery, just baby horses. Enjoy.

I’d like to take a brief break from TV-related content to share this video that will put a stop to all those pesky hours of sleep you’ve been getting every night. It’s a really good video; my favorite part is when I start crying and lose the will to live. I had no idea that all it took was a few prosthetics and some body paint to transform a man into some perverse cross-breed that not even the ancient Greeks could dream up. Well done, 21st century.

Of course, this being the Internet, nothing strange exists by itself. I’m afraid that after I exposed myself to this, I was compelled to pull on the loose thread of this nightmare sweater and take the terrifying journey that is YouTube’s “humanimal” tag. The horse is by far the creepiest, but the deer and tiger aren’t far behind.

You know, when I was a kid, I got turned on by Cheetara from “Thundercats.” Never again. If anyone needs me I’ll be removing my eyes and dipping them in bleach.

UPDATE: Courtesy of @twoeightnine, I learned that our hunky horse-man is Russian. He’s a model who’s “reliable and professional,” as evidenced by him being very serious about wearing body paint to look like a horse.
