Hamster Demands Butter and Salt for Corn
An Indonesian hamster named Wiko has staged a non-violent protest that’s quickly garnered worldwide support. The #OccupyCorn movement expresses outrage that Wiko be served plain old corn, without any of the fixins that make it so delicious — chief among them, butter and salt.
“Maybe the fat cats on Wall Street can afford butter and salt, but where does that leave Wiko?” asked a protester at a rally in Jakarta.
Sources close to the situation say that Wiko refuses to eat the corn until his demands are met.

Canine Construction Workers’ Union Chides Layoffs
In a memo released today, the Canine Construction Workers’ Union of America (Local 47) repudiated The Sizemore Group for what it calls “penny-pinching layoffs.”
The real estate developer contracted union dogs to lay cement for for five new housing complexes. After only two foundations were complete, the company let go of half the contractors, citing “unnecessary labor.”
The union says Sizemore is running the workers ragged, expecting the same results and speed from half the team.
“The work will end up being shoddy” says Jim Rockland, a union representative. “I wouldn’t want to live in a shoddy house, and I don’t expect Sizemore’s clients to either.”
