The Dog Bites It!

Vandals around Los Angeles have been tagging bus ads and billboards for the Marley and Me movie. Instead of drawing the usual moustaches, gang symbols or genitalia, they’ve been opting to spoil the end of the movie for folks by informing that Marley goes from digging up the daises to pushing them up like…well, “Pushing Daisies.”

While it’s totally not cool to ruin a movie for people who want to remain in the dark until that gasping sappy exploitative scene oozes its way on the screen, there’s a warm cockle of my heart for the Christmas spirit being devastated. And as much as I like Brad Pitt, that fucking Benjamin Button poster of him all in closeup is just begging for the word BALLS written across the forehead. To the Hon Dipo!

By the way, in the Sex and the City movie, Rosebud is the name of Carrie Bradshaw’s purse, Miranda is Luke’s father, Charlotte can see dead people, and Samantha has a penis.

Fucking Hollywood, man. Even the thought of a golden retriever heading for the big dog park in the sky makes me tear up a little. Can't they make a movie without a shitastic, obvious, cruelly manipulative ending?

Posted by: Marra at December 15, 2008 9:48 AM

I've read the book (somehow, don't ask), and yes, the ending is kind of sad. But the dog lives to be 13, and dies of complications from old age. OLD AGE. As far as I'm aware, ALL DOGS DIE AT SOME POINT. It's not rocket science, people.

Posted by: Snath at December 15, 2008 9:52 AM

SHUT YOUR STUPID FACE, SNATH!

My dogs will live forever. FOREVER, YOU HEAR ME?!?!

Just ignore them, girls. They're evil people who like to make others miserable.

Bastards.

My dog eats his own doot.

Especially when it's freezing outside. Why does frozen poop have such an appeal to dogs?

Cold shit talk aside, I nearly pissed myself laughing when I saw the billboard above.

My incontinence aside, when you let your dogs out, TK, I'll bet that you tell them to go take a "tinkle," don't you?

Posted by: branded at December 15, 2008 10:03 AM

Don't get me wrong TK, I have four cats and a dog, and I don't want any of them to die, either. But it's not going to surprise me when they're old and ready to go.

Oh who am I kidding, THEY WILL LIVE FOREVER! I'm going to put them in my big freezer and then thaw them out when there is a cure for death. That should be before I die, right? I don't want to die either.

Posted by: Snath at December 15, 2008 10:05 AM

Yes that is exactly what I want, a dog to lick my face after licking its nuts.

Posted by: Pookie at December 15, 2008 10:07 AM

My dog died. But if she were here, a) she'd be zombie, b) she'd be laughing at those ads and barking about how real bitches don't wear bows.

Posted by: jM at December 15, 2008 10:08 AM

Should have buried her in the Pet Sematary, jM. Then she would be a zombie dog for realz.

Posted by: Snath at December 15, 2008 10:10 AM

Funny thing is, that apparently doesn't work if they're not dead first. The more you know.

Posted by: jM at December 15, 2008 10:15 AM

You mean they don't come back double alive? Ooooooooh, whoops. No wonder my grandma hasn't come back yet.

Posted by: Snath at December 15, 2008 10:21 AM

Then who's that behind you?

Posted by: jM at December 15, 2008 10:27 AM

My boss. Shit, I'm fired.

Posted by: Snath at December 15, 2008 10:30 AM

I don't want to die either.

I have a couple of movie reccommendations that might change your mind about that.

Branded: "Why does frozen poop have such an appeal to dogs?"

Because it tastes like Rocky Road to them.
Ever lick a Frosty Paws doggie ice cream?
They taste like shit, really.

Posted by: BWeaves at December 15, 2008 10:47 AM

"totally not cool ..."? How could you spoil something that is (on the basis of the commercials I've seen for this crock of crap) clearly putrid to begin with?

Posted by: bucdaddy at December 15, 2008 11:05 AM

While I was devastated when my first pair of dogs died, I could take or leave these two nutjobs any time. The one's so dumb he opens his mouth and stares up at rain; the other just does not shut up. He barks at the radiator. He barks at the vacuum. He barks at Sandra Lee. He barks at the mailman.

At least the dumb one's cute, soft, and fuzzy. The other just tries to rape you while you're sleeping and bite your nose off.

Posted by: Robert at December 15, 2008 11:10 AM

Robert I've heard that dogs make good eating.

Posted by: Fido at December 15, 2008 11:18 AM

Robert it sounds as though you could use some dog whispering.

Posted by: admin at December 15, 2008 11:26 AM

I'm sorry Robert, I feel your pain. Our dog is like your barky one. Lately I've taken to chucking a Jackie Chan doll at her because I just can't take it any more. With kung-fu action!

I would feel bad if I ever hit her with it, but my accuracy is so low that I would probably fare better if I aimed away from her.

Posted by: Snath at December 15, 2008 11:32 AM

This is slightly off topic. Why are people so obsessed with their dogs? I just.. don't get it. It's an animal, a pet, yes, you love it and cuddle it and let it lick your face after it's been tonguing it's own asshole, but come onnn, It's not like it's your kid (and I really think that dressing your dog up in some ridiculous frilly shit should be considered a minor criminal offense).

I mean, I love my cat. But someday, it will die. And that's sad, but not that sad, it's an animal. And, you know, death is a part of life and blah blah blah.

Posted by: Fi at December 15, 2008 11:40 AM

Tammy, I've been waiting for a woman like you to show up here at pajiba for a long time, finally a woman with a sense of humor.

Posted by: Pookie at December 15, 2008 11:44 AM

Aw man, this just saved me from truly hating today. Thank you.

Posted by: VeinsRHiways at December 15, 2008 1:00 PM

when you let your dogs out, TK
branded, when i first read this, I thought it was your way of referring to the death of TK's dogs. I guffawed. Which I don't think I've ever done before.

Posted by: jamiepants at December 15, 2008 1:20 PM

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That's the best thing EVER.

I mean, this movie already looks like a turd, and with this? The chances of it completely bombing at the box office and destroying the careers of its too horribly annoying leads are even better.

THIS IS AWESOME.

So, US Pajibans, get working on desecrating posters of Brad Pitt's creepy mug. Chop chop!

Posted by: figgy at December 15, 2008 1:29 PM

Dogs taste good though.. I hope they fry it up with some teraki sauce!

Posted by: TG at December 15, 2008 1:32 PM

Fido,

Echo effect, heh. Yesterday my BIL was trying to pawn off a puppy on us. I told him we'd take it, but he'd have to skin and gut it first. Mrs. Daddy shot me a dirty look and I said, "What? Puppies make good eating ... or so I've heard."

Posted by: bucdaddy at December 15, 2008 1:32 PM

My dog died a little less than a year ago. She wasn't old. She should have been around for a long time.

My heart broke. I will miss her forever.

Fi, people connect with their dogs and sometimes it can be on a really deep level. And you know what? That's not stupid or trite or ridiculous or anything...that's fucking awesome.

I feel bad for you that you have never had the chance to experience that.

Posted by: Arr Matey at December 15, 2008 1:33 PM

Geez you people.

My dogs will never die. They're too dumb.

Hella cuddly, though.

Posted by: figgy at December 15, 2008 1:38 PM

When the Usual Suspects came out in the UK, there where maaaaaaaaaaaassive posters for it on the subway. Apparently, on one such poster that was at the top of the escalator coming from one of the busiest and most used subways, someone drew an arrow t Kevin Spacey and wrote somthing like 'it was all him' or 'he's Kaiser Soze'

Im not in love with twist endings being ruined(unless i've seen the film...) but the way some people do it...its funny as fuck

Posted by: Nadine at December 15, 2008 1:47 PM

TG don't you know anything? You don't eat dog with teriyaki sauce. Dog is a tough meat if not cooked properly and one should avoid salty sauces like teriyaki sauce. Dog meat taste better with lightly brushed on caramelized honey glaze. And with a side dish of rice pilaf, absolutely scrumptious.

Posted by: Pookie at December 15, 2008 1:59 PM

Yes that is exactly what I want, a dog to lick my face after licking its nuts.

That's why we have a Corgi. Little guy is too long to be able to turn around and reach his sack, let along give himself a rimjob.

Posted by: Pookie at December 15, 2008 2:28 PM

Why does frozen poop have such an appeal to dogs?

Because they like poopsicles!

Also, shouldn't it be, "Ruck Roo, Rass-roles"?

Why are people so obsessed with their dogs? I just.. don't get it. It's an animal, a pet [...] I mean, I love my cat. But someday, it will die. And that's sad, but not that sad, it's an animal. And, you know, death is a part of life and blah blah blah.

/sigh. This is what's called superimposing one's own moral standards on other people, then wondering why those other people act perplexed that you would do that. Everything you said applies with equal force to the way I feel about people's kids. I don't give a shit about their kids, I don't understand why they love kids. But I understand that they do in fact care about their kids. So that's cool, that's their thing. My dogs are no less important than those people's kids -- to me. To them, obviously it's a different result; each of us gets to choose.

Posted by: Jennifer at December 15, 2008 3:52 PM

Thanks, Jennifer.

Posted by: Arr Matey at December 15, 2008 4:21 PM

How could this possibly be a surprise to anyone? OF COURSE the dog dies. It's a Hollywood movie following the whole life of a puppy. There is just no other way that they would ever have it end. Have we learned nothing? The dog ALWAYS dies.

Posted by: Kate at December 15, 2008 5:18 PM

Arr Matey, I'm sorry your dog died. I understand that it's a huge loss for people and I really do think it's sad. I mean, I cried at Homeward Bound and everything. I didn't mean to come across as callous. I'm just, like rikkitikkitavi said, utterly perplexed by such a huge level of dedication. I get it on an intellectual level, but emotionally it just makes no sense to get so invested in an animal. And I appreciate what you mean by saying that you feel bad that I've never experienced that, but, I mean, it's totally fine. I like dogs and all, I love my cat, but I don't feel the need to be deeply attached to them. It's not like they'll live forever and it's not like they'll be able to truly communicate with me (I know, I know, everyone disagrees, that's fine).

So, in short. I didn't mean to come across as a puppy-kicking cold-hearted bitch. I like puppies. They're fuzzy. And I'm sorry the Marley dog dies. If I ever managed to see this movie I'd probably get a little teary eyed. Surely that means something, yeah?

Posted by: Fi at December 15, 2008 5:23 PM

There are nutrients in the doog poot, they also eat other dog's poot as well as human feces, which can be dangerous if you live in a city where the bum poop may have traces of drugs in it thereby causing the dog to od. I've heard stories...anyway, I can't believe Marley dies! He is such a cute dog!!! (well he lives for reals, but that really is a bad spoiler there!)

Posted by: ph at December 15, 2008 5:35 PM

My dog eats her poo in the winter. The vet says it has to do with a long held survival instinct which makes the dogs think that there may be a food shortage since it's winter. So, they recycle the Iams. I should be happy cause that shit ain't cheap. Before or after it becomes shit.

That having been said: My dog is a damn fool, I admit it. She get's lost in the rain and ends up at my neighbor's house half a block down. She sheds year round and there are yellow tumble weeds all over my house. She is completely docile until she goes to the vet and gets all Cujo on the poor bastard cutting her talons. She somehow believes that she owns the boys next door and will bolt every time she sees them, never mind that they are now fully grown. She looks almost exactly like Marley, except that her nose is pink (I hear that's from inbreeding).

I wouldn't trade her for a brand new car.

Posted by: greer at December 15, 2008 6:50 PM

greer, maybe YOU wouldn't but ... um, can I borrow your dog? It's Trade-In Days at the Lexus dealer.

Posted by: bucdaddy at December 15, 2008 7:46 PM

bucdaddy, you can have her for a week. But you gotta remember her ear medication.

And for Gods sake don't let her lick your face.

Um.. this was some bullshit publicity stunt by some marketing group.

Posted by: JP at December 15, 2008 8:14 PM

ok, i don't want my dog or anyone else's dog to die, ever, but this is freakin hilarious

come on Pajibians, print screen this shyte and make it your default photo on Facebook/Myspace

because it's hilarious and so many people will cry and complain

and don't we love to make people cry and suffer???

Posted by: kam at December 15, 2008 10:27 PM

I LOVE those vandals. My father called me up and said, "You want to go see this on Christmas day?' I said, "Umm, Dad, I read the book. At the end of the book, the dog dies. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!!!" Now he doesn't wanna see it, either.

Posted by: Leigh at December 16, 2008 3:24 PM

At least Owen Wilson doesn't have to shoot his old yeller dog at the end of this movie. Or does he?

Posted by: Gypsey at December 18, 2008 3:56 PM

those stupid people now People don't whant to see the movie now that you kow the dog dies do you want to see it i sure as H*ll don't why would you
that sucks

Posted by: bob at December 24, 2008 12:16 PM

this is Owen Wilson so shut the f*ck up

Posted by: Owen Wilson at December 24, 2008 12:20 PM

When my own dog died, it was the worst experience of my entire life. Fifteen years later, I still miss him every day. I can't imagine wanting to relive the experience for "fun". Thanks for the warning.

Posted by: Mark F at December 26, 2008 2:17 PM

I lurve my dogs, but would not pay to see this tripe.
The vandals crack my shit up.
Hilarious.
My dogs don't eat their poo, that's gross, they prefer cat poo, dat's gourmet to them.

Posted by: tatters at December 26, 2008 5:17 PM

Okay for all of you who are like IT'S JUST OLD AGE DOGS DIE SOONER OR LATER... yes, this is true, but do they always HAVE TO SHOW IT in movies?! No! Can't they just end with them being happy with their currently alive dog? GUESS NOT!

Posted by: Jenn at December 27, 2008 9:41 PM

Thanks for the warning. I'm not seeing the movie for the same reason I refuse to read the book. It's just too much realism. I go to the movies to be cheered up, not be reminded of all my sad times.....even the loss of my dogs and cats. Hollywood could have just stopped the story before the death and I'd have gone. And Brad Pitt? that's even worse. count me out.

Posted by: Katy at December 28, 2008 2:54 PM

ANY MORON CAN FIGURE OUT THAT THE DOG DIES.
BRAVO TO THE TAGGING OF THE POSTERS, THE MOVIE IS COMPLETE BS.

WHY CAN'T OWEN WILSON and ANISTON DIE? now THATS movie i'd see.

Posted by: MOVIE GENIUS at December 29, 2008 6:25 PM

How can you push a movie by showing how cute and wonderful it is, when the only real emotion is drawn from the death of an animal. and NO this movie is not "deep"
because it deals with death and dying and companionship of an animal, its a CHEAP TRICK to get box office revenue.


BULLSHIT MOVIE IS BULLSHIT.


GREAT JOB TO THE VANDALS! I HOPE THERE IS AN UPWARD TREND OF SPOILING SHITTY MOVIES AND SPARING HONEST PEOPLE FROM WASTING THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON A VILE GARBAGE FILLED, NO TALENT, SHITTY, OVERRATED, TURD-COVERED-IN-VOMIT LEFT FOR DAYS ON A DEAD BODY of a movie.

Posted by: STOP THE MACHINE! at December 29, 2008 6:31 PM

"The Dog Dies" does not ruin this movie. The movie version of the Marley and Me, the dog does NOT die.
