Gotta love social media...

I am admittedly not a huge social media user.  But stories like this one are when I love social media.  I saw this last week and have been laughing over it since.  This is perhaps one of the funniest things I have seen in a very long time.  Check out the link for the full story, but the jist is that a dead raccoon was left on a city sidewalk in Toronto for about 14 hours until a city worker finally came and picked it.  However, it's the reaction from city residents that's so great, catching like wildfire and just getting better and better.  This is definitely something that never would have happened without social media.  It's nice to a see a good sense of humour...  A little morbid, yes.  A dead raccoon, yes, that's sad.  But nonetheless, this response by the people of Toronto remains priceless.

Seriously, one of my favourite stories of 2015.  Poor racoon...but so funny.
