US Military Tosses Kittens Out of Airplane

Before anyone gets too worked up.

This is a joke... :P

Great! Another military-themed post. It would have been funny if we weren't being inundated with this stuff already.

If you think that you can get away with war propaganda by putting cats into it, think again.

(Only half joking btw.)

If you think that you can get away with anti-war propaganda by putting cats into it, think again.

(only quarter joking btw.)

I know, anti-war propaganda is generally shot down, cats or no cats. ;)

*sniffle*

Those brave little kitties!

First this is posted on Miss Celania, then it's tweeted around the twittersphere a bit, where someone removes the "it's a joke" text and replaces it with text describing this as an actual event. It's claimed that this was done as an artistic statement on "neo-fascism and social isolationism in the military-industrial complex". The modified picture and text hits reddit and goes viral. Someone (anonymously) comes forward with an in-person description of the event and it gets picked up by secondary and finally by primary new sources. A congressional panel is appointed to investigate while all the armed services are required to undergo 'sensitivity to kittens' training. Later a news correspondent at CNN calculates that Kitten-Gate has cost modest sum of $14,000,000,000,000 to the American taxpayer.

See what you've done!

Yeah. Nice story. Really. It's a perfect illustration on how the "media" operates these days.
