Lovejoy is a part time journalist and full time weasel living in the Bay Area.

Lovejoy started Weasel Wordsmith as a resource for the fandom to get info on media that might interest them specifically. While the site is not entirely furry centric, there is an emphasis on things starring anthropomorphic animals. Lovejoy has been reviewing books, movies, games and music for over five years now. He’s occasionally funny, usually silly, and always snarky.

I don’t know if it’s the most brilliant viral marketing ever, or some animator that had too much free time and a sick sense of humor, but the “alternate ending” to Yogi Bear is the most fucked up thing I’ve ever seen.
