Unfortunately you can't fix it because you're not a gold star member, so just remind me in 40 hours to fix it for you. In case you're wondering why I have to wait that long, it's because all videos that are declared * dead must wait 48 hours before they go into the Dead Pool. Once there, anyone can fix them. Until then we simply have to wait. Sorry.
Anyway, just remind me in about 40 hours and I'll be happy to fix it for you.
Check that out, it's sorta become a ritual for him.

Where in that page did he acknowledge that it was staged? I'm not doubting that it is, but I couldn't find it.

Well, since people are speculating on cat vs ferret cage matches, I'd definitely put my money on a cat. That's not really fair since most cats will weigh twice as much as a ferret.
But pound for pound, it's still hard to be intimidated by ferrets (and I've had one draw blood attacking me). They're mostly slinky. They can't use their claws for a whole lot. They're clumsy. They're about as stealthy as a lawnmower.
As for dog's vs cats, again, dogs tend to be bigger so it's not usually fair. But pound for pound I'd have go with the cat again. Cats can rotate their wrists to grapple, dogs can not.
It seems to me that ferret's are niche hunters (that niche being places slinkies can go but not cats, such as tunnels or small openings to hen-houses). Cat's are (usually) solo, ambush hunters. They often fight, by themselves, prey that is near full strength (although surprised). Dogs are pack, endurance hunters. They'll track, chase, and encircle prey across many miles. They hardly have to kill their prey after many chases because the animal has nearly run itself to death.
So if it's a cage match, I put my money on a cat. If it's a cross country, 10v10 deathmatch I put my money on the dogs. If it's a fight in Madison Square Garden's sewage system I put my money on the ferrets.
Disclaimer- I love all these animals and would hate to see them actually fighting each other.

Just because a machine can do it doesn't mean it's not impressive that a human does it. For instance, http://www.videosift.com/video/iHate-Innovative-Commenting-software could probably have created your belittling comment but I still appreciate that you did it by hand.
