Dog and peanut butter -- Spanish version?

[Cactus Wren]

The Ricky Martin incident, as recounted on an IMDb message forum. An interesting variant for the "reality TV" generation, dog-and-peanut-butter meets Candid Camera:

This is a true story. Please excuse my spelling mistakes.

Some years ago, in my country (Spain) something terrible happened. There was a TV program, “sorpresa sorpresa” the kind of program in which they try to surprise people. There was this teenager who loved Ricky Martin (a Puerto Rican singer and dancer), so the program hid him in her closet and put some cameras in her room to show, live, her surprise when he came out singing. But the girl wasn’t the one who was going to be surprised… when the girl came into her room, she sat on her bed, called her dog and put some marmalade “down there” so as the dog could lick it… Just imagine the scene, Ricky Martin still hidden in the closet, the girl having fun with her dog, and the cameras recording everything and showing it live all over the country…

The station phones got collapsed, full of complaints, everybody had seen this terrible scene, parents were really angry, some of them even called the police. People said it was outrageous, “think of the kids!” even some politicians said it was outrageous and there was going to be a serious investigation. Several judges asked for videotapes showing the “incident” to take the TV station to court…

No one had videotaped it, because it never happened.

Nobody knows who started the unfounded rumour, but it was all over the country in hours, and as I told you, everybody swore they had seen it and described it down to the last detail.

I remeber being told this...

Somebody in my town has said a variant of this story in that it was one of her hockey teammates and her parents or her friends caught her. In this version the girl used peanut butter like the original. I'm not sure if the teller has heard this urban legend or if the girl mentioned had heard it and wondered if it would work.

Did you ever wonder how many people have put some food on their genitals so that a dog will lick them? How many people have tried it once? How many people do it regularly? Have you ever wondered if it works?

Makes me a lot less more likely to adopt a dog that's been owned by another woman. Especially one with peanut butter in her house.

Anyway, they do have vibrators that simulate tongue licking, so I would guess a lot fewer these days.

That same story went around my town YEARS ago as a woman from CompanyX was caught by friends from work who were planning a surprise party for her.

Do dogs even like peanut butter? Or marmalade for that matter? Wouldn't you be better off with a drop of gravy?

[Amigone201]

Yes, I'm sure that happened. Because after the whole thing happened, they took the tape back to the studio, spent the next 3 months editing it, and put it on the air, and nobody noticed that the whole thing had gone totally wrong until it was broadcast.

Every dog I ever had loved peanut butter. If I wanted them to take pills all I had to do was encase them in peanut butter. When I dogsat my brother's dog, I had to give my dog a blob of peanut butter before I gave my brother's dog his pills in peanut butter or I would have had territorial problems.

That particular story may not be true, but there are videos on the 'Net that show similar. And you don't have to even be looking for them to find them, they pop up under the most innocent of search terms.

I've heard a few variation on that! The version of the Ricky Martin story I heard (verbal transmission) mentioned meat paste instead of peanut butter.

One that did the rounds in the UK in the 1990s was a variation of the surprise party (secretary invites boss to home for surprise party, blindfolds him, he strips nude, room is full of friends and family in party mood).

A female city broker goes home on her birthday and, not expecting her husband to be home, she goes upstairs with a can of Pedigree Chum, smears it on her pubic triangle and allows the dog to lick it from her.

Her husband was waiting silently in the dining room with surprise birthday birthday guests. Wondering where his wife is, he goes upstairs and finds her receiving oral favours from dog.

This was in one of the Urban Myths books published in Britain in the 1990s(possibly one of the Healey and Glanvill books)

The only part of this story that rings true is the bit about Ricky Martin hiding in the closet.

All I can think about when I read this one is that commercial where the dog is licking that giant spoon full of peanut butter and keeps getting it stuck to the roof of his mouth.

I prefer to believe that no one has actually done it. It saves me money on brain bleach.

Everybody's missing the second point of the OP story though - was there really a scandal in Spain because people believed this had happened and been broadcast? That sounds rather unlikely too...

Sorry - I've seen porn videos of it happening. Pass the brain bleach please.

No, no! It happened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I was working for the City, a co-worker had a friend, who had a cousin, whose stepsister was dating the guy who worked for the company the lady who had a surprise party worked at. Most everyone left the party, but he stayed behind to...errr...comfort her. They married six months later. It turns out, he was into that sort of thing. They had a child who was born with no legs or arms, just the upper torso and head. Maybe you've seen the email sent around, asking for help for them so their child can get artificial limbs?

My dog liked peanut butter too. It was the only way to keep him occupied. I'd put some in his kong toy, because if I put any hard dog food he'd fling it againt the wall and the food would go everywhere, making a mess. Then I could clip his nails. Pilling him was much easier, hand him the pill, act like it was a doggie treat, and down the hatch it would go.

I tried that trick, and the rolling in peanut butter trick to get him to eat some handmade organic dog food that he took an instantly dislike to. Nope, that didn't work either.

No doubt someone has tried this at some point or other but I can't see it working.
The story I heard years ago was the person somehow finding themselves naked (like coming outof the shower), accidentally spilling something (like gravy) "down there" and then falling asleep on the couch (so as to be completely blameless rather than a sick puppy - er, excuse the pun), waking only to find themselves mid-orgasm.
Or the surprise party idea.
Anyway, I guess when you see a dog lick with enthusiasm the mind might turn to revolting thoughts if one had been without for long enough. Can't see the dog cooperating for long, though (and you know how long some women take...)
