The Internet IS Serious Business

If ever you think that when you upload, comment, blog, or even surf the internet you are annonymous or hidden you are wrong. Very very wrong.

Over the weekend a teenaged boy recorded himself picking up the family cat Dusty and then slamming him against a shower wall, repeatedly punching and slapping the cat, and then spraying the cat with water in the shower. He uploaded the video to YouTube and within HOURS the video had been seen by thousands. A message board caught wind and not long after personal information about this boy had been found, confirmed, and posted everywhere. People, the interwebz was seriously SRSLY pissed off.

You can find anything and everything on the web. From the funniest of funny to the sickest and most foul you could ever imagine, it's all in one place - the internet. However, post a video of yourself beating up a defenseless cat and posting it for the world to see is beyond almost anyone's belief. We, as human beings, cannot tolerate such senseless acts and most of us just can't stomach to watch. I am one of those people. I have seen screen shots from the vid and that alone is almost too much for me to take.

Thanks to the efforts of many this kid and his brother, who allegedly filmed the henious act, have been reported to every major news source, local police department, PETA, ASPCA, Humane Society, etc. The cat has been removed from the home and the teenage boys are now facing criminal charges.

All of which took place in a matter of HOURS.

Record yourself playing Guitar Hero, ranting about politics, playing pranks on your friends, or whatever else you can think of. Upload it to YouTube and try to score some e-fame. However, do not fuck with animals and put it out for the world to see. Society as a whole may be royally screwed up in many ways but shit like this will not be tolerated. Kenny Glenn is the new example of how the internet truly is serious business.
