Oh god, I remember this. My mom sent it to her sister who was outraged — frothing at the mouth, practically — that someone could do something so cruel. It was hard to convince her that it was a fake, and then of course she said that such things should be banned.

I also know that she enjoys veal, so as usual, human hypocrisy WRT animal exploitation knows no bounds.

One of my favorite (!?) FBI anecdotes is that one of the cartoonists who was syndicated in the original print version of The Onion, managed to have one of his characters make a joke about bombing the WTC get published the same week a bomb went off in the parking garage. Dumbest luck. He got to have a nice chat with some men in black about that one.

I totally understand why they would need to dot some i's and cross some t's on that one but the bonsai kitten thing is just inane.
