Christian The Lion Is Coming To The Big Screen


"Christian the Lion," the YouTube video that made many cold-hard bitches melt into a puddle of tears at their desks, is coming to a movie theater near you! The video tells the story of two groovy gays who bought a lion from Harrod's in London in 1969. The gays raised Christian, but he became too big, so they had no choice but to release him into the wild. A year later, they reunite with him in Africa. They all hug and kiss while Whitney Houston belts in the background. Personally, I was waiting for Christian to eat one of their asses.

Sony Pictures is currently in negotations to buy the rights to the dudes' 1972 book "A Lion Called Christian." Sharon Stone's cougar vagina is an obvious choice to play young Christian. Jocelyn Wildenstein can play older Christian. Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari can reunite to play the groovy gays.

Now if Sony can just buy the rights to Spaghetti Cat's life story, they'll have two animal hit movies on their hands.

HAHAHAHA! I thought the same exact thing about Christian running towards them to eat them! It would have been hilarious, and I would see that movie too.

Since some of yous are on the topic of dogs:
My Grandma's dog used to howl when I played their piano.

My dog hugs me when I get home. He's such a sweetie. He is 75lbs of golden goodness.

That melted my cold, blackened heart. AND I remembered that before crack became the focus that that Whitney Houston person could sing.

I didn't realize they were gay when I watched that the first time. I guess I'm naive that way. What is it with Gays and big cats? That is like an oxymoron. gays don't like pussy!

Oh my god. I was like "how is this making people cry?" And then I saw the lion run up and hug them and I started bawling. OHHHHHH CHRISTIAN I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

They weren't gay. They had girlfriends.

And Palin wants to shoot Christian. Sorry. Little political there, but I love animals.

AWWWWWWWW! So cute. Just like the story of these two Swedish campers who decided to set up their tent in some wildlife reserve in Africa. Needless to day, the lions didn't have to hunt very far that night.

I wonder how different would the reunion have been if they waited 5 years. It could have resembled a scene from CSI.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually this damn lion had me doing all sorts of research for weeks a few years back. (A topic I know something about, I think) I believe that they went back 4 years later to see the lion again, but the lion never came. Some people including the individual who introduced him to the wild, said (he was killed by poachers -- the man) when he was alive that the lion could have been killed by poachers.

I had this big dog named Brutus who had a big giant noggin. He looked like a lion. He was the biggest baby in the whole world. He would get his feelings hurt if you talked down to him in a certain tone. I mean really get depressed.

I loved him so much.

RIP Brutus.

SHUT UP I CAN HAVE EMOTIONS TOO BITCHES!!!

I loved this video.........and I have for a while. I won't watch it again, because like most here it drives me to crying hysterics. Animals do know and remember kindness. People should not be shooting them from helicopters, or poaching them for their skin. Anyhow, there is already a documentary on this --no need for Hollywood to screw it up (which you know they will).
