Bank Shot

I originally posted this on my blog as a sort of social experiment to see what people's reaction would be, and how OTHER people's reaction might or might not affect what they wrote. But then I realized that it sort of just made me look like a creep as though I endorse it, which I don't really. If you know me, you know I'm not exactly fond of the cats that I've had as pets, mostly because they all seem to be dysfunctional, totally broken, or idiots. The only cool cat I ever had got run over by a car a few weeks after I got it. Every cat since then has either set itself on fire, ran away, slept in its own shit and ate its own vomit, or hid under a desk and died of liver failure randomly. EVERY CAT. Granted, I think all of these cats were or are rescue cats which may explain why they all have these problems. Trust me, we don't feed our cats kicks, punches and screaming, cats are pretty much THE low maintenance animal. I shouldn't even have to explain this but the above makes my house seem like a cat meat grinder.

The reason I bring this up is because as a person who has had a lot of cats who have died for reasons that were entirely out of mine or my family's control, I am somewhat hardened to ill befalling this particular animal. And yet even I look at that video and cringe somewhat. So sue me, I know I'm meandering to the real point but I have to cover my ass to not look like a psychopath, but here's the real point: I don't even understand what I'm looking at, on a psychological level. This guy basically punts a tiny cat into the side of a tenement building, and not only is there not horror, but the two are sharing a laugh like it's a hilarious thing that just happened. I get that this is sort of a pointless thing to ponder over, but I didn't get angry when I saw this, but rather weirded out in a way. Instead of thinking, "what monsters!" I just thought, "what just happened?"

Anyway, it's a nothing clip of ill consequence that will probably just piss people off but it got me thinking today so I guess I had to ramble about it. This is what happens when no one else writes on the site!
