This Seal Could Shed Staten Island's Stigma

Wait... is this seal just working on his tan?

Staten Island may be known best known for its guido culture, but the Staten Island Advance reports today on a little something that may just help shed that stigma: a gallery of adorable images of a seal basking in the sun! They say that every day this seal "can be found enjoying the early morning sunlight in Annadale," spotted most mornings on a rock in the waters off Lipsett Avenue (unlike other locals who can be found at Hollywood Tans). One woman delcares: "I've never seen anything like that on Staten Island."

He fled Canada where they would club his cubs.

This seal has better speech patterns than most Islanders, ie it doesn't end every sentence with "bro".

More seals = More Sharks. Great Whites love them. Have a nice swim.

Jesus fucking Christ. While you're not entirely wrong about most of the population of Annadale, does it always have to be lame-ass tanning jokes?
