For some people, this is just a fact of life.

People follow cats, dogs, rabbits and all kinds of other animals on Twitter.
There are over 500 cat accounts alone.
And I ask simply, WHY?

Yes, I see the novelty factor, and I know people love their pets, but seriously people. Come on!
If you run one of these accounts, you need to take a good hard look at yourself.

And you readers are not blameless in this, after all, some of you FOLLOW these accounts.

Take a look at this article about 7 Cats On Twitter With More Followers Than You.
The most famous twitter cat of all, Sockington the cat (@sockington – no, I am not linking to it) has 1,526,663 followers when I wrote this post.
A list celebrities on twitter have fewer followers than that! No wonder people get depressed using social media.

It goes further too. There are special networking sites for pets, called “social petworks” (No, I did not just make that up. Go on, google it.)
And there are sites to even help your pets tweet without your help!

This is not good people. Do you not realise what is happening here? Can you not see where this is headed?
We are slowly, but surely, enabling the animals to take over as the dominant species of this planet.
I plead with you – Stop it all NOW, before it is far too late!! BEWARE THE ANIMAL UPRISING!!

If this post is being read by any animals, please take note that I am a hard worker, and am willing to use my influence over others to serve under your glorious reign, when that day comes. I was just writing this so the other stupid humans think I am on their side. Meow meow woof squeak forever.

By the way, yes, I am aware that this comic is provocatively titled. If you have found your way here by googling ‘pussy’ and are actually reading this sentence, then leave a comment below. Also, ask yourself why you have not yet figured out this is not a porn site and are still reading?

Avatar Final Scene Revealed

Avatar Final Scene Revealed published on 9 Comments on Avatar Final Scene Revealed

This is what the last scene of the James Cameron Movie “AVATAR” was originally going to be.

Just kidding.
There is no way that James Cameron is in touch with modern culture enough to even know what LOLCAT is.
And I would bet my life he has never visited icanhascheezburger.com

This movie opens worldwide in just 7 days (at the time of posting this), and there are already many mixed reviews about it.
Some are not giving it much of a chance, and others feel this will be the “Gone with the wind” of Sci-Fi feature films.
I believe it may end up being this generations “Dances with wolves”, but in space.
Who knows. Only time will tell.

All I know is that James Cameron is on my shit list.
Yes, that’s right – I have a beef with James Cameron.

Why?, I hear you ask. Well, there are many reasons, but the main ones are:

  1. Titanic was about 2 hours too long.
  2. The Abyss was 30 mins too long.
  3. The “special preview screenings” he organised to promote Avatar showed nothing more than I could see in trailers online, at the time. (I won tickets to one of these screenings and spent a LOT of time and effort to get there, only to be let down by Cameron once again)
  4. The 3D in Avatar does not make the graphics better. (Those glasses are annoying and I have seen better CG graphics in computer games)
  5. The $500 million you used to make this “epic” could have gone to something much better – like cancer research or a campaign to get people worldwide to stop using Internet Explorer 6.
  6. “Let’s make the aliens look like Giant cat people!”. Wow. I expected better from you, James. Where is the originality there? That idea has been used so many times.

Anyway, there are a few reasons why I have a beef with James Cameron.
I would love to hear about why you love or hate him. Drop some feedback in below.

This comic is my way of saying Happy 40th Birthday Sesame Street!
Like many other children around the world, I grew up with the Sesame Street Gang.
They taught me the following important life lessons:

– vampires are only really interested in counting, not blood sucking
– monsters are friendly & always hairy
– if you leave garbage on the sidewalk, grouchy creatures will infest the bins
– counting should not stop at ten. It needs to go to twelve.
– a bath is not complete without a rubber ducky
– waiters have the most amazing memories & can get everything wrong without fear of being fired
– Super Grover is the most awesome, yet useless superhero ever (and he is cute too!)
– Mr Hooper is not coming back 🙁

Thank you Mr. Henson.  Thank you all the actors, producers, writers, puppeteers, techies, and musicians that have brought Sesame Street to life for so many children for so long.

By the way – what the hell is Snuffleupagus anyway???

One of the dangers in being a caveman…..

I imagine that there were many threats faced daily by the Neanderthals. And if mammoths took to the air, carried by Pteradactyls, perhaps they would just accept it as another danger to be looked for an monitored.

Do you think that their lives had more or less dangers to face daily?

I think that the threat levels are about the same these days, but modern life has threats that are often hidden from us.
Neanderthal man could see if they were being stalked by a predator.
But you would not really know who is reading your private information and messages online, and potentially stalking you.
The internet helps give out information, but hide possible threats at the same time.

Would it be better if we were back in a simpler age?
Not the stone age – maybe just back to 1985, where the dangers were just from being blinded by fluoro colours & working in an office space like this

Or maybe that would be worse……………………

On a totally different topic, I found something this week that I have been looking for all my life (without even knowing it).
At last, the internet has delivered unto us possibly the most important set of rules ever devised.
Finally collated and put in a place where we all can reference them from.
I present to you : The Official Shotgun Rules

Please read & memorize at your earliest convenience.
