Today in crushing depression

I offer you the trailer to the saddest movie ever made. Served up by the nation known as Japan, and perhaps a welcome departure from the usual tenticle porn, "Kogistune Helen" or "Fox Cub Helen" is described as:

A young boy finds a deaf, blind and dumb baby fox, lost from its parents in the wilderness. Based on a true story, a heartwarming story of the care and love of the boy and a vet who try to save the baby fox.

"try to save the baby fox", huh? Not so fast. Just in case you thought a movie about, not just a cuddly animal, but a multiply handicapped cuddly animal isn't sad enough, a Japanese-speaking friend tells me that at one point, the vet holds up the fox and says, "We should return him to the wild. His natural survival skills will take over." Oh really? Is that your professional opinion?

Anyway, watch it yourself, but don't come crying to me when your heartstrings are pulled the fuck out of your chest.
