Boner Candidate #1: DON’T YOU SEE….THIS IS FUNNY
n Phoenix, AZ woman was shocked when her neighbors’ dog turned up at her door with a Nazi swastika painted on its head. Phoenix’s KPNX said that the woman — who asked to go unnamed — was immediately seized with fear due to the fact that she is of Hispanic heritage and her adopted children are racially mixed. The woman’s cousin Sally Andrade spoke with Channel 10 and said that the recent surge in racist violence in the U.S. made the moment particularly chilling. “She’s thinking, ‘What is this?’” Andrade said. “’Is this a message towards me? I have to protect my family.” The woman contacted animal control and the local police who returned the dog to its owners, who said they’d painted on the symbol as a joke.
