So today on Cute Overload, Meg posts an extremely overweight cat.

Cue accusations of animal abuse. 

Others are convinced hiz fat iz pastede on, yay!

And what wank is complete without caps lock of rage?

Other highlights:

Human abuse!

Won't someone think of the children? 

Your comments will make the owner commit suicide

Wankbait? *gasp* No!

Moar spooge all over the comments, if you can get through it all.

Lolcats wank!

Somebody posted a picture of a kitten sitting near some fake plants, with the caption "'Nam cat... has flashbacks." A 250+ comment argument ensued about whether or not this was tasteless and offensive. Most of it is fairly polite, but the attempts to discuss Very Serious Issues at great length in lolcatspeak kind of broke my brain.

I posted a couple of comments under my real name, but I don't think they were especially wanky and they didn't cause much of a reaction, so I didn't think this needed to be in i_wank. But if you guys think I should move it I will.

ETA: ( Some quotes, for those who can't get it to load... )

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

A post in the I Can Has Cheezburger livejournal feed has exploded in wank, because everyone knows lolcats are serious business. Apparently lion cuts for the kitties is a hot button controversial issue, so is what is and is not cool.

We've got douches, ignorant sluts, asses, and Comment Patrol Officers. And also your cat looks retarded.

So anyway, what are your thoughts on shaved pussy?

And it's not even from Cute Overload. Sadly, this means there are no boobies involved. First off, though:

Background Info 1 - Over the past couple of years there's been a number of scandalous about shenanigans in the operation of various premium number phone-ins attached to various British TV shows, mainly on reality TV shows and quizzes.

Background Info 2 - Blue Peter is a long-running and highly respected children's programme produced by the BBC. It has winsome fresh-faced presenters, adorable pets, a garden, and regular features on how to make your own model of Hogwarts out of toilet roll tubes and sticky tape. It occupies the same place in the hearts and minds of the British public as Sesame Street does for Americans.

Got that? Good. So, Blue Peter acquires a new kitten, always a cause for celebration, and opens a phone poll for children to vote for their favourite name for the her. The kitten is subsequently named Socks, and all appears well.

BUT WAIT! Things all start to get a bit murky when it turns out that Socks was not the name chosen by Blue Peter viewers. Yes, the BBC chose a different name and fibbed about it. The producer of Blue Peter is suspended, while the British press goes into overdrive re 'Cat Flap' (as the scandal is nicknamed) and makes more pussy jokes than you could shake a catnip mouse at.

Meanwhile, over at the Guardian's ever-wanky blog section, readers slug it out over whether or not the naming of cats is serrius bizness.

( Think of the children! )

It is still unclear whether 'Socks' ought to have been named 'Pussy' or 'Cookie'. So she has three names, which should at least please Old Possum.

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.
More screencaps and discussion in stupid_free.

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.
