Did you know, fashion photog and America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker has become a spokesperson against the Canadian Seal Hunt? "He even went up on the ice recently to observe the baby seal nursery," says a press person for the Humane Society. Now that's commitment! But even better? He's judging a LOLseals contest. That's right, LOLseals and Nigel Barker, a match we thought we'd never see in this lifetime... and he's doing all of this while wearing a snowsuit. Click to see some of the entries.

It is with a heavy heart that we report on the passing of an internet legend. Minoza, Japan's largest seal, died last week of unknown causes. Though he delighted thousands of children from his tank in Enoshima Aquarium, he is best known as the original "I has a bucket" LOLseal. No longer will you be able to stuff your friends' inboxes with new pictures of a giant creature speaking poorly about container-related matters. Sometimes you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. [Note: A helpful commenter pointed out that the seal died all the way back in 2005. However, in the wake of such a tragedy should we really be dwelling on things like "dates" and "fact checking?" That kind of negative thinking won't bring Minoza back, people.] [japantimes.co.jp]
