URGENT: Key West is Officially Cowless!

Forget the rabbit holes. A mysterious "Cow Hole" has opened above the island, swallowing every cow into a swirling vortex.

Local experts have tracked the anomaly and determined the vortex will reappear at high noon on April 19th at the Cow Key Bridge.

This is our only chance to save the herd. Dude yourself up in your best Wonderland gear, step into the vortex, and transport yourself to a Key West wonderland.

The cows are counting on you!
