How Walter got his wings

Tired of the mess and obligation of your boring old cats, dogs and whatnot? Why not get yourself a Strange Beast instead? (SLVimeo, under 5 minutes)
I love how his eyes glow more and more as the minutes roll on.

Don't like Walter's color? Well fuck Walter's heritage. You can now make him a purple clown monkey at your whim. And the great news is, Walter isn't allowed to really care, or fling poop at you... or show his erect penis to your house guests because you can just periodically turn him off when he does something that a 'bad idea' house pet would actually do.
In other words, Walter isn't a dog or a cat, or a pig that grows too big. He's not a monkey your anthropology professor insisted on having and letting introducing himself to you by throwing you his diaper and projectile shifting on your girlfriend... nope. Walter is a piece of code. What coders think pass as a relationship.

The future of entertainment is listening to poncy Brits tell us what's going to be the future of entertainment.

That video compression glitch effect is the "sudden, over-loud sound effect jump scare" of the whole "Technology! What if too much?" short film genre, it just destroys the suspension of disbelief for me. (Do people think this is a real product?)

I think if you don't watch this until the end, you could come away from the video thinking this is a real product rather than a short fictional film.

...you could come away from this film without sensing the story's subtle, horrific irony. His daughter "is" so sweet.
