Much like Craig’s “Wide Angle Close-Up Animals” from South Park (episode 811 “Quest for Ratings”, season 8, 11/17/2004, which you can watch clips of here), I am becoming increasingly convinced that American entertainment has no real need for writers, scripts, or anything other than goofy animals.
Strongest evidence would probably come in the form of LOLcats, notably I Can Has Cheezburger.
Recently, someone got the brilliant idea to mash-up LOLcats and the stark confessional style of Post Secret, resulting in the absolutely hilarious Lolsecretz.
Who can resist the complex interior lives of kitties with a conscience?
Perhaps the single best use of cats in communication lately comes from Cute Overload, where a guy brilliantly included his kitty in his proposal:
And thankfully, she said yes.
I have to think that if someone knows you well enough to propose by internet cat-macro, he’s a pretty sure bet.
In conclusion, cats say everything we need, and they aren’t going to fuss over new media rights. Hooray kittehs!
(And hey, for old time’s sake, you really should watch Cat Me If You Can, it’s still one of the very best things on the internet).
It probably goes without saying, but none of these photos are mine – they’re linked to their respective sources.
