squirrel rights

rhett & link

i'm doug

and i'm darrell

and we are squirrels. we live in your backyard in a big oak tree

that's our world. we saw you and your family

filming us with your flip cam. shaking out little tails

eating crackers from your hand. we know we're irresistible

seemingly even kissable

extremely home video-able

and effortlessly uploadable. but what makes you think that gives you the right

to make us internet memes

overnight. we didn't sign a release. you didn't get our consent

to put our private lives on the public internet. we didn't sign a release. you seem surprised to find we're upset. you wonder

how in the world can squirrels talk
