When the faceless editors of Wikipedia decide an article is not fit for public consumption, it’s gone, only accessible to the site’s top editors—at least, it was. But now we’re keeping track of all the articles Wikipedia doesn’t see fit to print, to present you with very best of the site’s weirdest and worst.

What is the saddest thing? Possibly: a heroic lion mascot in a cape who has become too drunk to stand and collapses on the soccer pitch, his giant fuzzy head lolling and falling off in his hands. Underneath, he is only human, like the rest of us. He is also drunk, like the rest of us.

A chlorine gas leak unleashed on a Chicago furry convention over the weekend left 19 hospitalized and one morning news anchor traumatized. The story gave Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski cause to discover what a "furry" is for the first time, and she simply could not handle it.

Attendees of Midwest FurFest—Illinois' premier convention for people who like dressing up as anthropomorphic animals—were forced to flee a suburban Chicago hotel in full costume after it was hit with a seemingly deliberate chlorine gas leak.

Three days before Halloween, a man in a Tigger costume was busted having "full-blown sex" with a naked woman on the baby-changing table of a public restroom. The witnesses were a mom and a toddler, who had the door slammed in their faces by the bouncy-flouncy fucking couple.

With Times Square's costumed characters in the news recently for being even more of a shitshow than usual, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visited New York City's most notorious furry quarantine zone to add his insults to their injuries.

This weekend, MTV ran a mini-marathon of three episodes of its best show (possibly ever), True Life. Though the episode title "I Want Respect for My Sect"4 seemed to hint at a portrait of militant Mormon fundamentalists, the actual show was even more off the wall (as if that seemed possible before it aired). Instead, it profiled a vampire (who says she was born that way), a furry (but not for "perverted" reasons), and Hannah, the Juggalo woman ("Juggalette") in the clip above, who struggled with the fact that her strict, Christian father did not approve with her upcoming Juggalo-themed wedding ceremony. He was fine with her getting married—he even accompanied Hannah and her Juggalo husband, Jeremy, to a ceremony at City Hall—he just didn't want to take part in the whole Juggalo thing. It wasn't, according to him, a traditional wedding.

Police in Boise recently arrested a man accused of sexually abusing a cat on multiple occasions over the course of at least 12 months.

For a few days each year, Texans of the furry persuasion head down to the Crowne Plaza North Dallas-Addison to let their fur flag fly at the annual Furry Fiesta fandom convention.

Oregon Rep. David Wu, a tigersuit-clad furry sex monster, apparently won't sit out the rest of his House term before resigning. He's issued a statement announcing his imminent resignation — just as soon as the debt ceiling debacle draws to a close, which it never will.

Thousands of furries descend on Pittsburgh this weekend, for the sixth annual Anthrocon, America's foremost convention for "anthropomorphics," commonly known as "furries." Participants are already wandering the streets of Steel City, wearing costumes and carrying puppets, posing for pictures with locals, going to raves, and singing "furraoke" while boozing at local bars.

"I can't bear the woman Glenn is marrying." "Yes, I hear she's quite polarizing."

Gary Guy Matthews is just a 46 year-old unemployed computer technician furry who finds gratification in dressing up in a humongous dog outfit. He's also an American, thank you. Why can't he be called "Boomer the Dog," if he wants?

Was Bill Gates forcing tweens to sext each other with a sexy new campaign? The software behemoth yanked a spot for the Zune of cell phones, the Kin, that was accusing of promoting "sexting." There are also furries.

Nate Hill, the furry artist behind the "Free Bouncy Rides" and Death Bear, is being pursued by producers interested in offering him a TV show, according to Bucky Turco. Dude. This guy is a TV show. Easiest script ever. [AnimalNY]

The "principled old conservative is disgusted with Republicans today" column practically writes itself. But this entry from former Congressman Mickey Edwards is frankly baffling. The problem Mickey has with modern conservatives is that they are... too European.

A relatively recent, routinely marginalized element in the system of psycho/social/sexual identification is the furry community. Feelings on or fears of furries aside, here is one of that congress doing what he loves: practicing samurai moves dressed as a unicorn.

Attention, our target demographic: do not miss your opportunity for a Free Bouncy Ride from someone in a plush Bluebird Furry outfit, on the Lorimer L train platform at 11 pm tonight. Clean, affordable fun!:

At a birthday party for game developer David "Talin" Joiner hosted by former Powerset CEO Barney Pell, the guest of honor provided guests with $5,000 to spend any way they collectively wished. What did they choose to spend it on? $1,000 to give Joiner a makeover and an electronic copy of Neil Strauss's modern pick-up manual The Game. Yes, the man pictured here waving the wad of cash will shortly be dispensing negs in the hopes of a fuck-close. But hey, if it works for "Benny" Pell, it might work for the man responsible for Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb, an inspiration to furries everywhere. In a side note, Michael Arrington got a little huffy because nobody at the party read his blog.
