9/9/09: A Day Without Cats on the Internet


(Video Link)


The pop culture blog Urlesque has called for next Wednesday, September 9th, to be a day in which cats are absent from the Internet. Ostensibly, Urlesque seeks to end the meme-driven exploitation of cats, but I suspect that it may find broad support for the movement among those who weary of lolcats, piano-playing cats, and other examples of feline ubiquity on the Internet.

What do you think? Should September 9th be a day without cats on the Internet?

No, we can't have that! Cats and the internet are made for each other! I'll have to visit a few sites and print some out in case I go into withdrawal ;)

Good luck, whatever blog. Maybe I'm behind the times in not knowing this particular blog, but something tells me they are a far cry from rivaling 4chan's numbers or capability. If they can single handedly stop 4chan from breaking their little game into its component parts and crapping on them while laughing, great job -- I'll follow them to hell and back. Until then, keep dreaming. 4chan loves cats. They'll call an emergency Caturday.

Sorry, I just don't see this happening.

Wow, if they're editors of a blog, they should know not to make the damn video so long and kinda tedious. I didn't get through it all, especially since most of its substance was already posted in the description.

Was there a surprise ending?

@splam at #1: why would they wait until the 10th?

Though I do not contribute to the web-based exploitation of cats in any other significant way, my avatar on multiple message boards is a photo of my grouchy cat Henry. So unless I stay off those boards on the 9th (which is possible, since I plan to be listening to the Beatles remasters), I will be polluting the web with more (of the same) cat pictures.

Reading the comments, guess I'm definitely in the minority. I'd be more than willing to let 9/9/9 be the ONLY day in which there were cats on the Internet and ALL other days be cat-free. So tired of all the cat stuff!
