Small and a little over a month old, but still entertaining.
[EDIT: This video has caused wank before when it first came out in January '07. mindset provides links: 1 2 3]

Video of a "cat spa" automatic bath invention is posted at DampCats.com, sparking cries of "animal cruelty" and resulting naysayers.

Some quotes:

Emma: That IS animal cruelty - whoever designed this contraption has absolutely no understanding of a cats natural behaviour and/or needs. I work with them day in and day out and I’ve seen cats under stress - this is possibly one of the most abusive things I’ve ever seen done to an animal - goondess you can see how distressed it is! This “invention” is an utterly dispicable idea. I cannot stress how disgusted I am with this.

Iy: bande d’abrutis, c’est débile, aussi débile que d’aller crever en Irak
[electricwitch translates: "bunch of idiots, it´s moronic, as moronic as going to die in Iraque."]

big gaz: emma. SHUT THE FUK UP U DICK. ITS FUNNY THATS ALL. THE CAT MUST OF HAD A BAD SMELL AND NEEDED WASHED GROW UP U SAD COW

It all started when kazumii got her panties in a wad over a picture of a cat in a washing machine, and voiced her outrage cat_macros. Not surprisingly, people were annoyed by her offtopic posting and she deleted the post. She makes another post with a macro and an angry message:

I have only this to say. I deleted my previous post, about that poor cat in the washing machine, because I didn't realize how many rude, insulting, thoughtless and disrespectful people we're in this community. I originally posted because I thought it was horrible and I couldn't believe that someone could do that to their cat. Needless to say, I found out that this community is full of mean spirited, horribly rude and obnoxious members. Very few people here, actually cared about the actual cat. That's sad. And I know this won't mean anything to the ones who acted this way, but I had to post it anyway. I disabled the comments, because quite frankly, I've been bashed and insulted enough for one day. Perhaps those people, need to find better things to accomplish in their lives, than to be horribly insulting and immature towards another person.

And on that note...

Adios.

She even goes as far as to screen comments and lock the post later on.

Fortunately, the mod steps in and deals with her.

Only bad thing is I came late so I wasn't able to get screencaps of the comments or the post that started it all. D:

ETA: A couple of nice mousies provided me with these helpful links:
Screencap of the original drama.

So, recently a video showing a demonstration of a product known as the Cat Spa has been making it's way around the internet and gathering attention. Someone decides to post the link to Metafilter. And it gets quite the reception.
