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 dunno, my Mum prefers her dog Taz, to my brother who is 22 years old, stays at home, gets drunk, picks fights, constantly loses jobs and never pays for the living expenses. At least the dog seems to appreciate the food he gets for free and actually likes people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That sounds like my mother. She prefers her seven cats to my brother, who a month ago just decided to quit his two jobs and pretend he was going to them anyway so he wouldn't get yelled at. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's people like my brother which is a major reason why I don't think I'll have children. It's probably a good thing I don't find babies cute then, my idea of torture is looking at the Anne Geddes calendar that a fellow worker has up on her wall. (I don't find kittens or puppies that fantastic either, although I have a cat and love him lots). (Reply to this)(Parent)
