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

	I just had to come home and have telesilla hold one of the cats down while I went in with scissors and cut a huge mat from around his butt. I was kind of tired, because the kitten spent an hour between 5-6 am staring up at the bedroom ceiling and trilling, which would have been cute if I hadn't been trying to get to sleep. Ahem. Sorry.

	Butt mats are so foul sometimes, too. It was always my least favorite activity for my old cat. She'd hate it, and so would I. And she was half Siamese, so she'd meow the house down around 2-3am, every morning like clockwork. (Reply to this)(Parent)

When I lived in Savannah, we wound up taking care of a friend's cat, Tima, while she went overseas. None of us three roomies having cared for a longhair before (Roommate #1 had a crotchety, bitchy little old shorthair, though), we weren't expecting her to get all kinds of crap matted in her tail.

One night, we found a mat that was so thick, and so close to her skin that we couldn't cut it off without her crying, so we decided she'd go to the vet the next day. Roommate #1 was at work, and I'd just gotten back from class when Roommate #2 returned with the cat carrier. I asked her how it went, and she just started laughing, so, being curious and all, I took the case from her to let Tima out.

They had shaved from her butt to about an inch from the tip of her tail, leaving a little poodle puff on the end.

I couldn't help it, I started laughing too. Tima gave me the most wounded look, then went and hid under the bed. For three days. We had to shove her litter box and food and water dishes under there for her.
