Tillman the skateboarding dog takes on the new Tony Hawk: Ride game. I don't care that it's fake, and an obvious marketing attempt on behalf of Activision. I think it's cute.

Also, they would rather go naked than wear fur, which is decent of them, because fur is bad and naked is good. This is the PETA ad they made, which is all over the place today.
