Is Winemouse Worse Than 2 Girls, 1 Cup?

Amy Winehouse actually did something semi-music-related this weekend, when the above clip–of her plonking away on a guitar and mewling backing vocals while her goddaughter pretty capably sang Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You”–was posted to Pete Doherty’s very active YouTube channel. But of course, it was another clip on Doherty’s video blog, titled “winemouse,” that got most of the attention and made me wonder one thing: How low could the Internet go?

For its part, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is not amused by Amy and Pete’s shenanigans.

The RSPCA warned that handling mice at such a young age could mean they are rejected or eaten by their mother.

Becky Hawkes, a spokeswoman for the RSPCA, told Sky: “New born babies should be undisturbed, and with their mother – smell is critical for small rodents.

“It’s because the babies will be contaminated by human smells and the mother could reject or eat them.”

A worker for the National Animal Welfare Trust said: “You don’t disturb any baby creature, whether it’s puppies or kittens or mice – you leave them with the mum.

“And you should definitely scrub your hands – just as you would with a new-born baby.”

Nice for you to assume they knew that.
