Purr URLesque Gives Web-Friendly Felines the Day Off on 9/9/09

— September 3, 2009 — Pop Culture
Urlesque.com has announced September 9, 2009 as the day that cats will be banned from the Internet. There is a petition full of Internet users willing to abstain from sharing and watching videos, pics and all other coverage of web-generated feline media. 

While this will be grounds for outrage for some, the day will a serve as a welcome respite for the PC Purr Producers out there… did I just write that?

Anyway, in order to keep my pledge, I will have to remain strong and not watch Keyboard Cat (and I love me some Keyboard Cat) on that woeful Wednesday. To join or read more on the Boycat, click the attached link… right meow!
