    Definitely not mine, looks a bit freaky to be fair!

    Methinks someone needs a Year 7 Biology lesson.

    Or glasses.

    Or some natural selection action.

    WTF files is right, someone doesn’t know a lot about much.

    Obviously they don’t want a reward, instead you have to ring a 1900 number which i am sure costs a bundle

    Hubby showed me this photo a few days ago and it’s hilarious. Someone has a good sense of humour :)

    LOL, I can’t believe that anyone could mistake a possum for a cat! Its even harder to believe how docile the possum is. Do you think it is a hoax or genuine?

    Hi Folks,

    thank you all for your comments (been away this weekend, sorry it has taken me so long to answer).

    I think that Greg might have the answer - what better way to get callers to a pay-per-call service than inviting people to call you an idiot - then spread the meme through a bunch of “hey have a look at this idiot” emails? :)

    Very clever hoax if it is a hoax :)

    Best regards, Andrew

    Erm… Can’t you obviously see that it’s

    1) A Possum
    2) The number to call is a 1900 number, bound to cost the caller heaps?

    I think it’s someones attempt at viral marketing.

    Hi Contamination,

    yes, I can see that it is a possum and a 1900 number, and a viral marketing exercise. They’ve done something very clever, but possibly not for a good end.

    Best regards, Andrew
