I'm not a cat, or a cat psychiatrist, but I'm not sure if placing an angry plastic mouse that a.) smells "great," and b.) wields a sign saying "HEY CAT! ARE YA STUCK IN THERE" in your cat's litter box is a great idea. First of all, how did the good people at "HEY CAT! Litter Box Freshener Manufacturing Concern" establish WHAT fragrance YOUR cat will love in his or her toilet? How do they know that? I'm going to assume that people who make vaguely threatening litter box inserts that sell at 99 cent stores are pretty much guessing what fragrance your cat will like. I'm also assuming they're pretty much guessing as to whether or not their surly plastic mouse is toxic/radioactive/made completely out of actual pressed mice. But let's ignore that, and move on to the thought behind this product. First of all, is an angry mouse with a protest sign the right choice? What if your cat can read, and feels like you're mocking him? Then he's going to poop in your bed. And you know what? YOU DESERVE IT because you're the asshole who plunked some stinky heckler into his toilet. Can you imagine if people bathroom air fresheners were like this? Anthropomorphic and kind of insulting? Maybe, say, shaped like a policeman, waving a sign that says "HEY JERK! OVERACTIVE BLADDER?" or "HEY LADY! YOUR HEMORRHOIDS ACTING UP AGAIN?" or "HEY DOUCHEBAG! YOU'RE A COMPLETE BASTARD!" You know what? That would be sort of dumb. The instructions on HEY CAT! clearly state you're supposed to dangle this 2-D tormentor over the lip of the cat box, so it's pretty much at cat-face level (so your cat can read the angry mouse's sign, and then probably try to poop on it), and let it fragrance up the room. Because nothing smells nicer than ammonia and poop PLUS "soon-to-be-feces-caked floral mouse" or whatever. I'm going to guess that my theories make up only a small part of why this product is gathering dust in a 99 cent store. Just sayin', insult air freshener, probably not a rational product to market to cats.
school makes me busy. look at this awesome video.
Apparently grad school is "time consuming," hence my lack of posting/sleeping/advanced brain function. Sorry about that, my 3 readers (hi Mom!), but I think this video makes up for it. Vaguely menacing machine of horror? Check. "Something that passes for graphics, sort of"? Cheeeeeeeck. "Totally rad" stock music? CHECK. Awesome cameos by surprised, giddy dudes in safety goggles? Ch-ch-ch-check. Gratuitously long video redundantly, hilariously demonstrating the brutal li'l gadget that your prison/other type of establishment in which people frequently attempt to flush shoes, bricks, entire packs of gigantor maxi pads, cans of housepaint, a U.S. Army blanket, and other people down the toilet CANNOT BE WITHOUT? CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sign me up for some cinematic majesty, muffin monster!
