Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Fatboy Slim video looked too professional (and expensive) to be done by some woman on the Internet. I think she's just a framing device, not a real person.

Probably. Or else she just happened to have all those kittens and sets that she used for other kitten-related video activities.

And yeah, the special effects for the stoned kitties were pretty good. Could an amatuer do that on a Mac?

I did not know you were a big U2 fan.

U-2 iPod for bon bon!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, it should be simple enough to work out if the contest really happened, right? And if they did have a contest and had a ringer win, that's bad juju.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Could an amatuer do that on a Mac?

Yeah, pretty easily.

(Finally got it to load, and I'M AT WORK which means no sound. Curses!)

The sets & props are a little suspiciously thorough.

More info:

The video for The Joker is, as you’d expect for Fatboy Slim, very special indeed. Jon Watts returns after the success of his Wonderful Night video to direct hundreds of kittens in a rights of passage tale…it has to be seen to be believed.

I totally made that assumption too.

It's a bit of a shame, but I totally don't care for the cover of the song. Not enough to watch the video twice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just emailed someone asking a question that I immediately found the answer to via Google. I am now rolling my eyes forever at myself.

Also, and I'm not even congested, but I swear my nose is whistling when I breathe. Ew.

Hmm. I've been operating on the assumption that a 2-4 year age difference (guy older than chick) is normal for Western society. Well, at least in the places I've lived, and for married couples.

I realise that my generation might be mucking things up a bit, but it certainly held for my parents.

Am I on crack? Have things changed for my generation? I haven't even sat down and tried to work out how to google for those stats yet.
