that pisses me off. thats fucked up, n if u agree with it, fuck u
wat u said^
Its... a.... joke?
By the way...
"Bonsai Kitten (bonsaikitten.com) is a website created by a graduate student at MIT in 2000, which claims that kittens can be sealed into small containers and kept as elaborate ornaments rather than pets. It is a well-made hoax, an elaborate dead baby joke. The site is in part a parody of the Japanese art of bonsai, but also resembles the mythical practice of comprachicos (in which the subjects are human).
The site appears to have fooled a number of people, who fell for the hoax and believed that the website was both advocating and engaging in animal cruelty. Some went as far as to complain to animal welfare organisations about the site and to set up online petitions to have the site banned. Others, while aware that the site is a hoax, believe that the site will induce children and mentally unbalanced adults to attempt to create a bonsai kitten, and thus should still be banned. Due to activists' protests several web hosting services have refused to host Bonsai Kitten or its mirror sites. Bonsai Kitten is currently hosted by rotten.com [1].
The site was investigated by the F.B.I. in February of 2001, and MIT was served with a subpoena, asking for "any and all subscriber information" of the website. Apparently the F.B.I. has quietly dropped the case, as the site is still alive and running".

I'd kill anyone who would do that to a defenseless animal. Actually I'd put them in a tiny cage for a while first then i'd kill them.
I would go so far as to say that all people have no souls, but I'll save that one for the Spirituality forum. As for this bonsai kitten idea, like the idea of an immaterial soul it is all fake.

Bonsai kittens are not real. Nobody is making bonsai kittens. Nobody is selling equipment to help people make bonsai kittens. Nobody is instructing people in the "lost Eastern art of sealing
kittens inside rectilinear jars."
The Bonsai Kitten web site is a joke, not an actual promotion for the making of bonsai kittens. Investigations by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have already determined no real cats were harmed in the creation of the pictures used on the Bonsai Kitten web site. Signing a petition to shut down the Bonsai Kitten web site will not prevent any kittens from being harmed, because no kittens were harmed in the first place.
It was all a joke, one which some say was in terribly poor taste. If that was your reaction, take comfort in the knowledge that many others thought the same.
How could you have known the Bonsai Kitten site was a satire despite its lack of "This is a joke!" banners emblazoned across it? Satire doesn't always announce itself as such (some feel that would ruin its humor), so in cases like this, one dusts off the common sense and aims it at the problem:
*The process described is impossible: animals so treated would die long before they could be "molded."
*The web site offers no way to purchase the materials advertised. A real commercial enterprise wouldn't build consumer interest through a flashy web site then fail to offer anything for sale. (The site does include a page of "Helpful Tools & Supplies" but provides no form through which they can be ordered.)
*The "Bonsai Kitten" site displays no actual pictures of the finished product. There are plenty of pictures of kittens in jars which can comfortably accommodate them (cats are quite elastic and can fit into very small spaces without discomfort), but there are no photographs of molded kittens on display.
The cruel.com web site offers an article entitled "Happiness is a Rectilinear Kitten," their comprehensive history of the furor and media coverage generated by the Bonsai Kitten web site throughout its first year of existence.
its a shame totse.com is down they have a good artical on putting cats in the microwave that is probly real and very disturbing.
that is really sick man, how could someone do that to a cat, you would have to have no conscience whatsoever :mad:
