Bonsai Kitten
Is there an exhibit for the bonsai kittens?
It's been a persistent joke for a while: that the internet is nothing but cat videos and porn. Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later but now we have a serious exhibition about cats online. "How Cats Took Over the Internet" opens today at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York and runs through to the end of January …
But when people search for 'pussy licking' they're certainly not trying to find images like these:
And the first ever cat animation created on a computer?

I for one welcome our feline overlords. Australian television has well and truly become entirely saturated with fucking cooking shows, and one network has replaced their competing cooking show (because it couldn't compete), with a cat program showcasing cat videos from youtube. True story.
Which is just as well, because if I hear one more retarded cooking contestant whine their overcooked meat sampling is "devastating" I'm going to puke.
Actually cat videos on TV have always been popular.
For example the most popular programme of German public TV station "Hessischer Rundfunk" is this cat interval signal from the 1970s:

They were stray cats and found a new home through that clip. That spanned a whole new genre of TV shows called "Tiere suchen ein Zuhause" in which stray animals from shelters were shown on TV in the hope of finding new homes.
