    Angry Bonsai kittens

    OMFG!! Whilst I was searching the web for cool urban legends for my other thread, I came across an article for Bonsai Kittens. Clearly this is my first hearing of such and O M F G! People actually put poor little kittens through that?!?!?! If I've lost any of you this is the link i happened upon:
    http://urbanlegendsonline.com/pets/bonsai.html
    and this:
    http://cats.about.com/cs/advocacy/a/bonsai_kitten.htm

    I read that "bonsai kitten" was being hosted by www.rotten.com but the link would not upload. That is absolutely horrific, and I don't even like cats. Those assholes should be shoved in a bottle and fed through a tube, afterall, it is just art. Dumb Fucks. Okay, I think I'm done now, I feel a little better.

    I honestly can't believe people STILL fall for this. It's been known as fake for YEARS. And I seriously want to smash people's heads against brick walls when they send the "Save the Bonsai Kittens!" petitions on MySpace. Ugh.

    People could save themselves the high blood pressure problems by simply checking Snopes when they see something outrageous on the net.

    oh thank GOD! I'm the nieve girl that thought since women's feet could be "molded" by shoes (b/c smaller feet were a sign of beauty) then why not a whole kitten. But I am so happy it's fake, even if I did get publicly worked up over it :embarassed:

    LOL It's alright, Yung. When you don't know, I can see how you'd get upset. Just make a habit of checking Snopes when you hear or see something whacky online. They're really good at keeping up-to-date.

    Eh...don't worry about it. I'm sure there are plenty of people that had the same reaction when they saw it.

    I laughed when I first saw it because my cat climbs into jars all the time. Like, aw, it's a cat in a jar!

    i find it funny as hell., although i hate when people get all worked up ..on myspace it was a HUGE deal and so i posted this photo covered in fake blood and the caption was " my bonsai project went wrong" all in good humor..it was taken down by "tom" haha

    I wasn't trying to post rage.I guess you just gotta know how to read my posts or my "tone"

    I'll bill you guys later for tonights entertainment/amusement.
    I saw it said it wasnt real but there was a thousand more that said it was real and after searching this site (hindsight wishes I had done it to begin with) I feel better knowing that not only am I not the only one who fell for it but I'm not the only one you guys clowned on for believing it. And from now on I'll respond to "GullableYung1" Thank you!

    That one must be the imposter. Everyone knows Batboys lives in the trees of Central Park.

    UNLESS! He's a clone...

    The initial website advertising bonsai kittens was actually pretty convincing. And keep in mind, that it was a less sophisticated internet audience. I was torn between laughing and being appalled until I read that kittens were bounceable. Really, you can take a kitten and throw it at the floor and it will bounce. DON'T try this with puppies or ferrets or baby rabbites; you could seriously injure them. Kittens, on the other hand, are made for bouncing.
    I have taught that the sky in all its zones is mortal and its substance was formed by a process of birth

    My favourite was BuyAPenguin. Most of those fake sites were not pranks, but uni students making funny sites for an exam or to showcase their work as a designer.
