Pharyngula's furriness

pyesetzFrom Pharyngula we receive word of this ad for Orangina (NSFW in the USA, Iran, and other theocratic countries). The anthropomorphic animation is pretty good, if you like the modern jerky style. I wish the personality of the female-deer character were better developed.
The level of sexual innuendo is perhaps typical of French advertising. Orangina is pulpy; the French word pulpeuse means both "pulpy" and "voluptuous". Pulpe means "pulp" and poulpe means "octopus", so a natural choice for a mascot is a voluptuous anthro cephalopod that squirts orange soda from her mammaries (see character drawing - note that JWZ hates furries).
In other news, Pharyngula writes that he is not a humanist because "I'm not going to join a group that willfully excludes squid". What do we have to do to get this guy to attend a Furry convention? He could fit right in at Anthrocon, which is run by a fellow invertebrate doctorate-holding scientist (albeit in chemistry). If he ran his own panel on "perceiving the Squid Within" or "sticking to your atheist guns when surrounded by god-worshippers" I bet lots of people would show up for it. Or he could dress up as a troll and attend the "animal spirituality" panel, telling them that all that spirit-stuff is bunkum.
