The best answer to this question, culled from a reddit thread, totally points up how we squander the most amazing advances in technology for everyday distraction. But then again, the person from the 1950s might understand better than we think. Back in the day, people watched their own cats for amusement and got into arguments with people they knew. All we've done is expand on that. -via Irene's Internet

Still, I have seen it before in a different form. It seems we keep reinventing our jokes.
On Facebook, you often see reworded (often copyrighted) material, even from way, way back presented as the latest joke. I guess it's always new to someone.

If you plan to buy one as a pet please do some research. Not for kids, or for people hoping for tons of movement, or for people with other pets like cats and dogs in the house. They are also Tropical so don't het one if you live in the mid-west, it will die and it will be your fault.
