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.
I personally believe there is a need for certain extreme content on the web. The beheading videos, bombs droping on large groups of people, a person being attacked by a shark, a suicide, or someone getting killed in a car crash..

It's all nasty stuff, but it can all be argued that it needs to be seen as you say the world is a fucked up place and people should know about it. However this video was not part of war or an accident, it was something done by two fucked up beyond belief kids.. For the simple fact of making the video and showing it, now that is reason enough to not post something like that..

What's next , some kids decide it would be cool to murder someone on video and send it in? Would you post that aswell?
Lastly naming it something like "hot pussy" with out any clear warnings makes it sound like you are making a joke out of the whole thing which is pretty sad.
