Misanthrope Overload?
Ah, Cute Overload. A site that posts pictures of cute animals, what could people possibly wank about there? As the wiki shows, plenty.

I think Meg, the blogger, loves poking the crazies. One of the most reliable sources of "commentroversy" has been her "Cats n Racks" series. Yesterday she posted a video of a cat kneading some boobies with the hopeful tag "Nancy, it's a good thing you brought this to our attention, we've been just starved for commentroversies." Sadly, the commenters behaved themselves and mostly filled the comments with anecdotes about cats kneading soft squishy objects such as nads, ouch.

Meg would not be denied her wank, though! Clearly she had to bring out something NEW, something GUARANTEED to send her readers into apoplexy.

So today she posts... A HUMAN BABY.

*ominous chord*

263 comments so far, including the following gems:
She almost made the worst mistake of her life: Good Gods I was about to send a link to cuteoverload to someone, thank goodness I checked in first. BABIES NEED NOT APPLY.

You don't understand what your blog is about Meg! I DO: human babies are not what cute overload is about!

Whereas animals are completely silent and made of plasticine: Ugh, what's with all this worshiping at the altar of the baby? Babies are not cute, they're noisy and leak fluids. Do not want!

Uhhhh...: When I look at human babies, I just imagine the adult they will grow into... but puppies and kitties, etc., are babies forever!

I also love this comment where someone ponders changing their dissertation.

And finally, some pwnage:
human babies are not cute. if this is to be a regular occurrence, everyone i know who goes to this site will stop, including myself.

[Well, I can already tell how much we'd miss you... - Ed.]


Pass the pa-sickies.

Edit: HT to [info]dragonfangirl. cf_hardcore cheers the brave commenters for speaking truth to power, or something. What's wrong with the word tummy? :(

This one made me twitch, because I can't help but think they're the sort who'd dump a cat or dog in the shelter once it's grown and no longer their pweshus.

If my geriatric dog wasn't eighty pounds of separation anxiety, I'd be tempted to mail her to that commentor.

Really. If that person, when they were a child, had ever had a full-grown German Shepherd jump at them, put its paws on their shoulders and staring them right in the face (as has happened to me), they probably wouldn't talk like that. I suppose they are talking about those handbag-sized "dogs" (I use the term loosely).

Or you could be one of those fucktards who won't pick up their dog's poo.

I can never figure that one out. You don't let your children poop on the sidewalk and then leave it there, now do you? Perhaps I will come to your house and poo on your doorstep and not clean up, how would you like that?

I know! I still love Boxer pup who still has my heart at 12 years old though he has ummm gas issues.
I guess his gray muzzled face would not be welcomed at Cute Overload.

That's in the "Ah, spoken like someone who's never had a pet" category with that line about babies being gross and noisy. (That person can feel free to babysit my Siamese the next time he gets gastroenteritis.)

My favorite gross-cat story EVER
[info]trollprincess
2008-04-12 02:02 pm UTC (link)
My mom has owned Siamese cats all of my life. One of them was Jasper, who was very sweet but got VERY carsick. I'm talking shit and piss and puke and drool and sometimes blood just for fun. Plus, there was that constant Siamese yowl from the second he saw the car to the second you took him out of it. Car rides with him were never fun.

So this one time I'm taking him to our country vet and I'm speeding because ... well, not fun. I get pulled over.

The cop comes up to the window and asks for my paperwork, and while she's looking at it and I'm sitting there all nervous and trembling she notices Jasper in the back seat -- big scared blue eyes, puke dripping down the grate of the cat carrier into the car, drool falling from his jaws, the smell of shit and piss filling the air, and that awful terrible yowling.

"Oh, my God, what's wrong with your cat?!"

Now I had two options:

1. Tell her the truth -- he was fine, he was just going for a shot, and he was just very very VERY carsick.
2. Lie.

So I looked her straight in the eye and said, "I don't know what's wrong with him! I found him like this when I got home! I don't know what he ate! I think he's going to die!"

She let me go. :)

Oh man, that is priceless.

Have had Siamese as well, but none with quite that level of bad reaction. Wow.

Uh-huh. They can have the patented fat bastard cat in my icon then, who's just been impressively sick over my bed. Where he Isn't Supposed To Be EVER.

Maybe they meant that cats and dogs have the minds of babies forever? I mean, I love my dog, but she's got the mental capacity of a two year-old.

>.> This endears her to me, since it means I have to forgive her her sins, but still.

Your dog is way smarter than my cat then. I adore him too but if brains were gasoline he couldn't run a dragster around the inside of a Cheerio.

Sorry, I've been waiting to say that since grade school.

D: Yeah, I hope they're trying to speak metaphorically, or something. Like... they're always sort of cute and babylike even after they've grown up? My other hope is that they never, never have a pet if they really DO only like them when they're babies.
