Goat Circus

By Martha Ann

This video, at least for us, was sad to watch yet mesmerizing. The goat displays the most amazing sense of balance as it walks a tightrope with a monkey on its back, turns at the end of the rope, and then stands with all four feet — and the monkey — on a tiny... »

Goat Tears

Thera-Gesic’s new commercial for its muscle and joint cream involves a sweet, pixelated homesteader trying to make her goats cry for their tears, the premise being goat tears vanquish pain.
