I just stumbled on [www.bonsaikitten.com](http://www.bonsaikitten.com) That’s terrible! WHY would ANYONE torture innocent felines like that just for their own amusement? Disgusting! Whoever came up with the idea for “modifying” kittens should spend THEIR life in a glass cube and see how it feels! That’s it, I’m reporting this site to PETA… ---

And there’s a site that sells actual human meat! By the pound! And in the Korean wilderness, HUMAN FETUSES are considered a DELICACY! And there are giant alligators living in the sewers of NYC! I saw it all on the Interweb! It must be true! ---

One of my friends ran a web site called “People too stupid for the internet”. It was collected emails from webmasters about people pissed off at the sites they hosted. Like ninja burger, manmeat, bonsai kitten. Anyone else have the feeling that we need to have a sticky in the pit saying, “Bonsai kitten is a joke” ---

@ agenfroot At least you are a bit wiser now, a good thing I learned here is when I see some stuff that is basically disturbing enough to get worked up about it is checking [www.snopes.com](http://www.snopes.com) or another debunk site to make sure its (not) a hoax. ---

But thanks for the offer, I might take you up on it since death can be fun sometimes 🙂
