Today’s CNN.com U.S. edition homepage features a section entitled “What The Internet Is For,” featuring three, and only three, thumbnails you can click on:
- Grumpy Cat,
- Happy Cat, and
- Fat Cat.
We applaud CNN, as we here at Not The Worst News started the year with cat news, and never looked back! (click on the previous hyperlinks for cat news you may have missed!)
CNN has nailed exactly what the internet is for, and so we naturally clicked on “Grumpy Cat,” a tale of an internet sensation with its own feline web site, visiting the South By Southwest Festival.
One woman came all the way from Australia to see the cat.
3 Worse Things To Travel From Australia To Austin To See
1. Abstinent bats, because Austin’s Congress Avenue Bridge has at least thousands of pregnant bats you can watch fly from under the bridge at dusk. If an Australian really wanted to see pregnant bats, they could have stayed at home and watched The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part I.
2. A Chiroptophobia convention. It means “fear of bats,” so holding the convention under the bridge may not be a good idea.
3. Coyote Ugly Austin. Again, the Australian could have stayed home and seen the movie, Coyote Ugly, to see what kind of work John Goodman used to do when he wasn’t in top movies of the year like Argo and Flight.
