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? :(

	...And I must remember that formating doesn't work if you don't code it right. :P Canned peaches, pineapple, and Mandarin oranges. Not canned yogurt, coffee, and beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Every cat I had that had Siamese blood (2.5 of them) loved the smell and taste of mentholatum. Whenever I got a muscle-ache they'd lick the Tiger Balm or whatever I used straight off. I never did figure that one out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My two cats (a maine coon and a manx) love the smell and taste of oatmeal. Whenever I use Aveeno body lotion, they lie right next to me just to get a lick. It'd be funny if it wasn't so creepy. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	One of my cats really likes strong smells. She'll lick the Blistex off my fingers, and eat raw garlic, and loves Frank's Red Hot. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Just out of curiosity, what breed is your cat? I've formed a theory (untested, unproven and probably wrong) that felines of asian breed ancestry (siamese and burmese among others) have a higher fondness for mentholatum than others. Certainly every cat I owned that had Siamese blood loved it. All the others ignored it with a disdainful glare. (Reply to this)(Parent)

When I was a kid we had a cat who LOVED LOVED LOVED vanilla ice cream. LOVED it.

When he was still kittenlicious, my parents and I had to go out of state for a week, and we were concerned about how he'd cope being left at our house with just the neighbors coming over to feed, so we took him to my grandmother's. We brought a carton of Breyer's vanilla, with instructions to give him a small amount every now and then if he started freaking out.

Well, apparently my grandmother did not understand these instructions and ate the vanilla ice cream in front of Velcro without giving him any. Upon our return we were regaled with tales of our demon cat who had scratched her arm.

We had another cat who loved buttered toast, but she was not insane about it like Velcro.
