I was thinking of emailing you earlier begging to let me put this up. As if trying to selling Firefly fans foxes isn't strange enough, then there's that video! I love people. And the internets.

Stretching the property just a weeeee bit much with this one.

Next up: bits of Joss' hair! $80 plus shipping.

gossi | April 14, 21:57 CET

gossi He'd be bald in no time.

Just sayin'.

Some day when I have money & can afford faster-than-dial-up I'll get to enjoy all this kinda stuff.

Sigh.

I'm impressed how the fox(?) works the song into the video. Along with the moving table. It makes me proud to be a fan. There's always the danger of the fandom becoming stuffy and official and all sorts of boring. And then comes along the sheer joy of a furry Firefly video. So I say "good on you mate. You've put the fun back into fandom".

The table thing is the bit which made me laugh out loud. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if that ends up getting more views than the River Tam sessions.

gossi | April 14, 22:12 CET

Words are failing me here :)

That is the most surreal chain of internet events. If Joss followed all that I think he'll be double checking his tea.

As Cordelia would say, I have to send this to everyone I've ever met!

Also, I won't rest til Joss fesses up to being the furry fox. ;-)

Well, they do say you should dance like there's no-one watching, the next logical step does seem to be "while in a Malcolm Reynolds the Fox costume", stands to reason, yeah ?

Ah, t'intarwebs, how do I love thee ? Let me Google the ways ... ;)

(possibly even more disturbing, the spirit animal wasn't an April fools ? Deary, deary me)

Can we give some love to the people who did the song, too? I probably haven't heard it since the '80s, but it sounds exactly right to me. Mimicry is something I marvel at. Maybe too much.

Dude - that song was awesome. Seriously, I think major props need to be given to Possible Oscar, that was very amusing. But could we throw things at QMX for the 'spirit fox', I mean really? And the Mal furry video... there are no words... Thank you Simon for providing me with my daily dose of weird (and fun).

...holy shit, I got linked on Whedonesque?!

Incidentally, he's supposed to be a Mexican wolf (a sub species of the gray wolf). But for the sake of the epicly hilarious spirit animal, we can pretend he's a fox from now on.

Love, the crazy girl in the Mal fursuit. :)

PS: if you're bemused by him, more photos and concept art here: http://community.livejournal.com/fursuit/2200518.html

PPS: Oh yes, and that "table" I zoom by on is in fact a model stand used for life drawing. The video was shot in a drawing/painting studio at my school.
