Your Monday Upper: When Kangaroos Attack Cartoon Yetis

Mondays suck. So every Monday, TNG brings you a fun video to ease the pain.

The animals that most set off my cute alarms are the least fit for domestication. For instance: reading Sterling North's "Rascal" as an 8 year-old instilled in me a yet-unquelled desire to own a raccoon. In the book, young Sterling takes in an abandoned young raccoon which sleeps in his bed and stays by his side through thick and thin. In reality, though, an indoor raccoon would defecate on your toothbrush before using its tiny, prehensile hands to hotwire your car and drive it through your garage door. Then it would give rabies to Old Yeller.

Kangaroos also represent forbidden cuteness to me. They could kick your ass blindfolded, but they look like big furry people. Who doesn't want to hug a big furry person? Or, who doesn't want to watch a big furry person attack some horrific children's show mascot on national TV? I apologize for the hokey voiceover on this one, but you gotta admit this is pretty bizarre.

And bonus points if you can tell me who is making the urgent grunting noises when the mascot is on his back. I really can't tell if it's him or the kangaroo.
