I'm not the biggest fan of Swedish House Mafia, but "Save the World" was definitely one of the best music videos of 2011
(1:05-1:40 is just epic.)

Cute doggy overload!
On a more serious note...why can't we all be more like dogs? Loyal, sweet, and brave.

The closest humans come to resembling dogs is when the intelligentsia, for example, behave as 'lapdogs' for the power elite, or when workers' masochistically obey their bosses (e.g., brown-nosers). I realize these analogies are unfair to dogs though, as dogs merely follow their instincts.
With that said,

Hahaha, you killed my lovefest. Sure, they also have their negative traits...I was focusing on the fact that we should have more of their positive ones. Loyalty is only wrong when it's for the wrong reasons or to something evil. Otherwise, it is a positive trait.
In my opinion, at least.

To be fair to the dog in the image, the woman looks like a rotund Michele Bachmann, so I can't fault him or her for attacking..

Well, dogs are a hierarchical pack species, whereas humans have the ability to be either hierarchical or egalitarian—though we spent the majority of our existence in egalitarian social structures. Unlike us, dogs are also purely instinctual and are therefore invariably content in their hierarchies.
I agree that loyalty to some logical conception of justice is noble and well within the capacity of human beings (sociopaths notwithstanding). The problem is that capitalism incentivizes negative attributes (individualism, narcissism, competitiveness, etc.) over our better traits. Consequently, people are generally quite unbearable today.

Fantastic song. Music really takes you away.And one of my favourites; I have always called it a theme song of sorts.

I admit it, I am a Stalinist, and under my regime there will be no devil music, no, all music will have to be approved by the Board of Musikal Morality and afterwards it will all be made patriotic and red. Why? Because Satan is a capitalist and a warmonger.
