MARK YOUR CALENDAR: A Day Without Cats

WHEN: 9/9/09 All Day Long
WHERE: Asylum, Best Week Ever, Dumb As A Blog,Lemondrop, PawNation, PetSugar, Popbytes, PopEater, The Presurfer,Rocketboom, Snuzzy, Tosh.0 Blog, ZooBorns, Zoomdoggle. What I’m going to call, the Internet.
What: A day. A mission. A movement. It’s probably best I let the organizers explain it in their own words. This, via URLesque:
“Cats rule the internet. Think about all the funny cat photos and videos that infest your IM conversations, Facebook walls and e-mail forwards from mom — our feline overlords have sneakily solidified themselves as a staple of the interweb humor we love so dearly. Don’t believe us? Salon and Entertainment Weekly have also had the same startling realization. Heck, we even awarded them with a lifetime acheivement honor in the 2008 year-end Urlies. But whether you’re a bona fide cat lady who loves it all, or someone who can’t stand the over-population of cats on the interwebs, we can all agree that cats need a break. Urlesque hears your cries for help.
“After getting inspired by our friends at Asylum, Urlesque is organizing a web-wide ban on cat-related coverage on9.9.09 – A Day Without Cats on the Internet. Why only one day? Well let’s be honest, that’s probably only as long as we’ll last before a hilarious video comes crashing into our inbox. But for one day, we will abstain… for you… for the cats. ”
During the ban, URLesque is taking things one step further: They’re letting readers vote on six different animals. The winner of which, they will blog about exclusively during A Day Without Cats. Jump over there to cast your vote, but please note that, being the contrarian that I am, Zoomdoggle plans to blog exclusively about the other five. How fun is that?
