Kent, Conn. (Satirewire.com) – Online retailer Outpost.com, which last year ran controversial TV commercials showing gerbils being fired from a cannon, claimed today it never used actual gerbils. Instead, Outpost executives said, the company dressed week-old kittens in gerbil costumes. The company added that its current marketing campaign, which features Outpost executives burning tropical rain forests, also does not use actual gerbils.
