So I guess I was asleep when this meme hit. I saw it referenced on The Soup and thought WTF? Since then I’ve seen people refer to it a few times, so I guess it’s a biggish deal. What the hell is this Spaghetti Cat bullshit? ---

Some talk show accidentally showed a picture of a cat eating spaghetti as a cut away and then never mentioned it. So people started making youtube songs about it and so on. ---
