LOL Catz Funny for Today
more animals
There is nothing so aggravating . . .
My son was telling me that I Can Has Cheezburger started with a bunch of people who once a week would publish funny cat photos, and they called it “Caturday.” Look at it now – an idea that lives on and on and on. It must be me, but I check it about once a week, and it always makes me laugh.
Recently, in the US, a kid posted a video of himself beating up the family cat. Bloggers were able to track him down, even though he had posted under a bogus name, and report him to the authorities in his home town. The cat (who is fine, by the way) has been taken from the home and is with a vet, looking to rehome him. My son says he is sure that cat will have many many offers. The kid, meanwhile, is meeting with the district attorneys.
Mistreating animals is a classic symptom of a person who will later abuse people. I wonder if there is hope that this young man can be rehabilitated? Who would think torturing a helpless animal is fun???
This is one hodgepodge of a post, isn’t it?
Some days, it just makes me happy to think there is a blogging community with a sense of community and responsibility.

It started on a forum called 4chan, as did everything cool on the internet.
That’s exactly what my son told me, 3 am. He also suggested I not go there, for while they they came together to turn in this kid who abused the cat, my son said that they can be very cruel to people on 4chan, and he thought it would not be a place I would feel very comfortable.
What do you think? I think ICanHazCheezburger is brilliant, and occasionally skates along the boundaries of acceptability, but doesn’t cross over. How does 4chan compare?
Your son’s right. It’s members tend to be of a certain ‘nature’ and seeing pornographic and other adult-themed images of a similar nature is what you can expect to find their.
Thanks 3 AM Hmmm. Pass!
