Cereal offenders: Tony the Tiger begs furries to stop tweeting him porn

If you think your Thursday was bad, just bear this in mind: someone woke up, went to their job where they pretend to be Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes‘ mascot Tony the Tiger on the internet, and had to ask people to stop sending them anthropomorphic animal porn.

So three days ago Kellogg‘s started blocking the furries en masse. Even ones who weren’t posting porn. Even, it seems, ones who hadn’t even said anything to Tony on Twitter.

But some stayed with Tony, and essentially ended up DDoSing the account with complaints about the blocking, requests for sex and a lot of porn.

And so, on Thursday, came the plea from Tony that: "Cubs could be watching." The porn hasn‘t fully stopped, but for the past day the rate of posting has declined somewhat.

Ping...or not.

Im so confused.... sex requests to Tony the Tiger? He tweets? Who are furries? Im going back to bed.

[PGR88]

Just so I understand - cartoon depictions of animals have sex are called “furries?”

[GraceG]

I blame this guy...

[LowOiL]

I watched a video of one of their furry conventions. Weird folks for the most part.

Who are furries? Probably voting for Bernie Sanders or Hillary if that helps.

Furries are Humans dressed up as their “inner animal”...
Give it a Google....but not if you’ve got cracked ribs. :)

Social media has been such a great contribution to our civil society.

Who are furries?

Think of them as being akin to "Transgendered" folk - they "identify" as animals and dress accordingly.

Who are furries?
A bunch of weirdos who dress up like stuffed animals and party down. CSI did an episode about this fetish some years ago.

No, “furries” are the people who have a fetish for dressing up like anthropomorphic animals and having sex, or watching that kind of porn.

Some of them will claim it isn’t about sex, but it is, and mostly homosexual sex at that.

[Boogieman]

Actually, that’s a whole separate group of perverts, the “transpecies” crowd. Furries don’t actually think they are animals, they just like to dress up like that and have sex with other people wearing those costumes.

[Army Air Corps]

Well, from what I saw in a documentary, furries do identify with their “animal self” more than humanity.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Basically they are a bunch of insane people (similar to men who think they are women) but these think they are animals and like to dress up like them and have sex together.

[Army Air Corps]

And, yes, I do agree that they are a group of pervs.

[GregoTX]

I just spent the last 10 minutes looking up the furries.... faith in humanity shaken once again.

[Slings and Arrows]

They want Tony to frost their flakes.

This tune will get their blood pumping.
