Holy. Fucking. Shit.
That picture of the cow is hilarious. It looks like she just got done with an epic, Hangover-style weekend of partying in that woman's house, was finally kicked out, but couldn't make it more than a few steps before collapsing in a stupor and calling it a day. When she wakes up she's going to have to worry about her boss seeing the pics on Facebook.
I think we'll be seeing that photo with added super-titles for years to come.

This made me laugh when I saw it on my local news earlier. I think the best part is how, yeah, it's a shocking thing to find huge animals in your house, but she just called some folks (deputies and teachers) who took care of it. I'd be just trying to not get squished, and especially to not startle that one who was all sacked out. I'd have to seriously stifle the giggling, go outside, and laugh behind some barricade after seeing that.

Just yesterday I became a fan of the Norwegian Curling Team's Pants on a certain social networking site. I was so delighted when I noticed... the pants were posting updates! Norsk argyle pants that curl! Posting updates! To the intarwebs! I thought to myself, "yes, this, this is The Internet."
Then, today, it's cows breaking into a house, chillin' in the bedroom and out on the front lawn. Man, when I was a kid 25 years ago, there was no Internet for regular folk. My brother and I sometimes snuck out to a neighbor's pasture and watched their cows at night when we were bored. (Cows do funny things when they're half asleep.) That was it.
But now... now, thanks to rapid technological progress, I can see cows in Arkansas while sitting in front of my PC in France, cows who broke into someone's home, and learn that the Chinese ideogram for 'startling occurrence' is a horse through a door.

I was amused until I read about the insurer abdication; now I'm just angry.

Breaking into somebody's house & trashing it when they are not even around is such a low & cowardly act.

Her insurance should cover it under vandalism. Doesn't really matter that the vandals are cows, if you ask me. I'd appeal that case.
I also kept expecting to see another cow hiding behind an "EAT MORE CHIKIN" sign.

I'm ungulating back and forth about this: I'm cowed by the humor, but in the end it's all bull.

Her homeowners insurance might not cover it if the cows were hers, because it's then business related. The article isn't clear on whose cows they were or where they came from, but it does describe the place as a "farmhouse." Homeowners policies generally have a lot of exclusions pertaining to commercial activity.
Alternately she might just have a really minimal homeowners policy that doesn't cover "all other perils" and instead only covers fire/wind/theft and other specific stuff. There are some crummy policies out there.
