Kids are seeing this: talk to their parents. If parents aren't taking active responsiblity on monitoring their children's online activities there's not much we can do. We've got the code in all our sites to block them if the pc is running netnanny or anything like that.

People will think it's cool / you're glorifying it / people will try this just to get on CJ: Other than a tongue in cheek response to the hatemail we're getting on this (here , we've never said we endorsed this type of activit. Who could? Look people, if someone has it in them to do something as horrible as this, they're a ticking time bomb. Do you HONESTLY believe that some decent human being is going to see this video and suddenly go out an torch an animal? The bottom line on this one is we refuse to run our lives or our sites in fear of what some crazy person will do. It's like "don't light your smoke with your zippo! You never know, that guy across the street might be a pyromaniac and seeing the flame might be the one thing that will set him off!"

you're making money off this horrible act: oh yeah. serious bank - not. Aside from the loss of productivity from me spending three days answering emails and defending our actions (we still to this day answer ever surfer email we get), posting this hasn't made us any more money. Yeah, controversy = traffic = $ is the logic I've seen thrown around. But when controversy = traffic but does NOT = more clicks you know what you get? Higher bandwidth bill. Of course, while you haters are at it, why not accuse National-Net of something. They're "technically" making money off this. I'm just making a point, don't actually do it, they're good people and put up with a lot of shit on our behalf.

So bottom line, why did we post that video? Same reason we post all this fucked up shit: the world is a fucked up lace and we 110% believe that if you WANT to see how fucked up it is, there should be a place to do so. No one FORCES you to come here. We give ample warning. If you want to keep believing the world is a happy place then go surf Disney. I feel bad for that cat for sure. I've got 3 cats, 2 dogs, and a fish tank. I grew up in the sticks of North Carolina and at one point we had 20 cats. Trust me, that video was the WORST thing I've ever seen. I couldn't watch it all the way through the first time. BUT, I guarantee you that there's at least 500,000 people that are more aware of animal cruelty issues today because we posted that video.

SO you posted the video to make ppl clear that is NOT good.

Yeah right
