Dexter The German Shepherd Wakes Up From A Deep Sleep To Find His Humans Filming Him

You really should let sleeping dogs lie.



Alternatively, you could film said sleeping dog and put the resulting video up on YouTube.



Especially if it's a German Shepherd called Dexter, whose eyes look pretty funny when he's asleep and dreaming - and who has a rather adorable reaction when he wakes up to find his owner Carol Fletcher is filming him. Aww!

He's not wrong. Check out Scoop's bizarre mealtime technique - and be prepared to find it simultaneously fascinating, repetitive and sweetly compelling viewing. Not least because of bikemystic's Jeff Goldblum-esque commentary.

Russell Brand (Breathlessly) Tells David Letterman Why He Wants A Revolution

Russell Brand was a guest on the 'Late Show With David Letterman' on Monday night - and he was plugging his new book, 'Revolution'.



When asked by Letterman to explain what 'the revolution' is about, Brand compared the state of his hometown of Grays (in Essex) to that of New Jersey - and went on to give a breathless rant about wealth inequality and why politicians are failing to talk about the issue.
