I just heard that Basil Brush existed today, after hearing him
referenced in an episode of "Are You Being Served?"  Not understanding
the obscure reference, I did a quick Google Image search, and was
hypnotized by the immensely cute visage of the fox puppet.  After
delving deeper into the subject, I was captivated by his wily antics.
  I was saddened with the volume of Google search results about a minor
controversy that occurred months ago that seemed to me to be not even
an incident worth mentioning.  Nevertheless, I am determined not to
let this overshadow my continuing interest in Basil Brush.
