If you have Internet, you know all about cat videos. Cat videos are what makes the Internet go around. Cat videos are so prominent that when Google had their brain simulation look at the Internet, it learned what cats were. But why should cat videos only be an Internet thing? That's what Katie Czarniecki Hill must have thought to herself before organizing The Internet Cat Video Film Festival (ICVFF), a real-life film festival for your favorite Internet cats.

By now, you have may have noticed that there are a lot of cat videos on the Internet. It's not simply because people like them, but because the corporate powerhouse Kittywood has been professionally producing nearly every cat video on YouTube. At least, that's what this video would have you believe. While being a dead-on satire of viral videos, the lengths to which corporations will go to make something viral, and hollywood itself, this does raise an interesting question: Is a world where all cat vides are professionally made more or less horrifying than a world where millions of people put an astronomical amount of cat activities to film just because they can? Think about it. (via Neatorama)
