<p>Did you miss it?</p>
<p><strong>Warning:</strong> The Watercooler is the best thing you will see on the Internet today, mainly because it is the best thing I saw on the Internet yesterday.  Be advised that these Watercooler stories are not necessarily videogame related (they usually won&#8217;t be), and are <strong>often silly, controversial, and/or not safe for work (NSFW).  If this type of content frequently offends you, please be aware that I <em>just</em> warned you</strong> &#8212; if you still click through and get offended, it will be your own stupid fault.  Otherwise, please continue&#8230;</p>
<p>The Watercooler is back after a short hiatus.  Maybe you didn&#8217;t even realize it was gone, and to that I would say &#8220;blow me&#8221;.  Anyhow, today&#8217;s Watercooler features a little flash game entitled &#8216;Don&#8217;t Shoot the Puppy&#8217;.  It is not as disgusting as you may think, and it&#8217;s certainly less disturbing than that <a href="http://www.ripten.com/2008/11/17/dont-worry-mama-will-kill-it-petas-cooking-mama-carnivore-propaganda/" target="_self">PETA Thanksgiving game</a>.</p>
<p>What <em>is</em> disturbing is just how difficult it ends up being to not shoot the puppy.  It&#8217;s not some kind of emotionally troubled reason either &#8212; you don&#8217;t do it because you want to, it just kinda happens.</p>
<p>Test yourself! <span id="more-8670"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Click the image to play the game.</em><br />

<p>Harder than you thought, huh?</p>
