Current mood:

irate

You'd think that torturing a pet would be something we could all condemn...
So I was perusing the Star Gate: Atlantis newsletter, and followed a link to something listed as "Sunday Secrets" (expecting that it would be about the third season episode 'Sunday'). Instead I ended up in a community called PostSecret, "an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard."

Amongst not-unexpected fare such as abortion and gay prom dates, there is a postcard from someone who forced their cat to drink bleach in order to see the cute vet. (Note the file name.)

Not surprisingly, there's tons of outrage in the comments. Also not surprisingly, there's tons of people wanking about the outrage.

I liked kriatyrr's comment: If you just want to see cute guys, I suggest you pick up stalking. It's less creepy.

Bonus wank: apparently only a woman would be that psycho.

(And I still have no idea what this has to do with SGA.)

ETA: OK, I get it. I personally was disgusted too, but found the complaints to be FAIL and therefore mildly amusing, but I guess I was wrong. No need to belabor the point.

	Posts like this make me want to make a dramatic "I'M LEAVING" post just so we can get some funny around here. People forcing their cats to drink bleach: NOT FUCKING FUNNY. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Um. Yes. I thought we weren't going to have any more animal abuse posts. D: (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It is apparently very hard to grasp that animal abuse doesn't belong on a site for pointing and laughing. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Way to overreact. So you're fine with people lying to their friends about getting raped, people insulting one another and accusing each other of horrible things, not to mention threats, extortion and stalking, but if someone feeds the cat something wrong, you can't stand it that people wank about it? Do you boycott the Monthy Pythons, too, because a bunny gets bombed in the movie? Do you boycott Roberto Begnini because he made fun of the Holocaust, too, or do only cute animals deserve your compassion?
Let's just hope that the vet was as smart as cute, that he pulled a House and that the owner has moved to the Australian desert out of shame (or at least that he reported her for animal abuse). And let's also hope that you will soon develop a sense of perspective.

	I'm going to be charitable and assume that your comment is not actually serious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, then I'm going to be charitable and assume your comment wasn't serious. I'm not going to be out-charitabled by anyone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I feel much better now. But I'm still worried about how you found out that I support extortion, rape, and slander. I thought I kept that secret. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rolls eyes Well, duh! Everybody knows it. And let's face it, as president of the Society for the Promotion of Extortion, Rape and Slander, you kind of have to support it. (Reply to this)(Parent)
