Benjy Comes Clean!

Rumors have been circulating about Benjy, the black dachshund knight... Finally, he comes clean and dispels the lies in the headlines.

MYTH Benjy moved to Los Angeles lured by film studios that promised him he would conquer Hollywood!!!
FACT Benjy decided to settle in Malibu because he needs the ocean nearby - it's good for his meditation, as he is working on an upcoming book.

MYTH Desperate to find a soccer partner as talented and skilled as he is, a bored David Beckham asked Benjy to join him in Los Angeles!!!
FACT Benjy did bring some soccer balls to his new abode, but it's strictly to have fun on the beach.

MYTH Benjy is going to run for governor of California!!!
FACT Though he is a natural leader of the pack, Benjy prizes his independence too much to run for office.


Bonus Benjy-approved Videos:
An animated, modern version of The Little Red Riding Hood, by Swedish designer Thomas Nilsson...
The trailer of Where The Wild Things Are, based on Maurice Sendak's treasure of a book for kids, directed by Spike Jonze...

Taocito said...

Benjy, cut the crap, it is time for the truth to be known: you are the reincarnation of an ex-con.
Voila!
The cat is out of the bag or in the case the truffe is out of the couette.
