Brian Moylan · 01/25/12 03:37PM

I think cat videos are kind of stupid. "Oh, look at the cute thing this cat does. Isn't that adorable? I love cats." Please. Giggling at a cat video is like laughing at a fart joke. You can't help yourself from doing it, but you feel like an asshole for it nonetheless.

Then it kills fish and threatens the water supply.
