I think the cells that process cuteness in my brain are about to be overloaded. Superbowl counter-programming typically entails running marathons of Law & Order or CSI, but Animal Planet trumps all of them with Puppy Bowl VII. Starting at 3PM Eastern today and running all the way to 11PM (those of you with mad math skillz will have already figured out that adds up to 8 hours of non-stop puppy goodness), the Puppy Bowl features, you guessed it, adorable puppies running into each other and wrestling over a toy football on a miniature football field. Seriously, stuff this cute should be outlawed.
