================================================================== TOPFIVE.COM'S LITTLE FIVERS -- PETS ================================================================== Better looking than that freakin' poodle. February 10, 2003 NOTE FROM THE LIST VET: Even if you live under a rock you've probably heard of "American Idol," a TV phenomenon wherein pop star wannabes strut their stuff before a panel of hard-to-impress judges. Sounds a lot like the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show -- only maybe with slightly less drooling. The Top 9 Differences if the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Were Run Like American Idol 9> Given an hour to put together a song-and-dance routine, contestants spend the entire time sniffing each others' butts. 8> No pups over 24 months allowed! 7> Poodle hairdos are only slightly poufier than the average human contestant's. 6> Paula Abdul scoffs: "You call that dancing? It's as if you have two left feet!" 5> Simon's latest zinger: "I just want to know: Where is your dog, and why are you walking your compost heap?" 4> Since wearing fur coats is politically incorrect, all contestants must be shaved. 3> Cacophonous howling, incessant whining, outrageous haircuts. What do you mean "if"? 2> Despite the insightful appraisals of the judges, the phone-in voters always pick the Scooby-Doo look-alikes. and the Number 1 Difference if the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Were Run Like American Idol... 1> PETA would be all over Simon's ass for cruelty to animals.

No wait, that would be if it were run by *Billy* Idol. (RW Lipp, Lenexa, KS) How in the hell is a Basenji ever going to make it to the top when it can't even bark? (Kathy Good, Scottsdale, AZ) It just wouldn't work. You worship idols and this is a dog show, not a cat show. (RW Lipp, Lenexa, KS) Simon tells one of the handlers that if her dog wins it will probably be the end of that particular breed. (Mark Weiss, Austin, TX) When contestants whine about losing, it's because that's the only way they know how to communicate, whereas in the *dog show*....
