Insightful Post FAIL #42

Tonight I had planned on writing a post about what brands and the communications industry can learn from open source. Or if that didn't end up going well, I was going to write my manifesto about how the API has the transformational power to vastly improve our country's infrastructure. And if that got too boring, I was maybe going to offer a brief survey of weird American utopian movements.

But as you can see, tonight you'll find nothing about any of those interesting topics. No...instead, I bring you "Troops." This is much, much "better."

Super Dog is Super

I tried for around 15 minutes to come up with something witty to append to the following GIF, but realized pretty quickly that this more or less speaks for itself.

I really, really want this to not be staged, but it looks pretty suspicious. The wide open space, the perfect framing, the color CCTV, the puffy jacket, the swept-clean concrete floor, the fact that the guy didn't try to shoot the dog...but if it's not staged, then holy crap!

Was the dog taking cover with the rest of the police and then just decided, "fuck this, I'm going in!"?
