I couldn't agree more. I personally don't find the site all that funny. In fact, the detailed descriptions they give are somewhat morbid. I personally prefer satire that it apparent and yet it worries me... Take a look at how many people out there don't "get it". They don't understand it's a morbid, sick, joke. On top of that... how many morbid sick people out there are going to think this is real and possible and attempt it on some poor kitten?
With that said... I believe Voltaire's dictum applies here:
"I may disagree with you, but I will defend unto the death your right to say it!"
Of course... another dictum by Voltaire, not quoted so much is:
Now was that nice? At least I didn't post as AC... sheesh.:)
Personally, I thought I did pretty good for a first try at FP ever... got it in there within the same minute as the first post. But alas, no points for 2nd place.:)

Sounds strange if you ask me...

Of course... another dictum by Voltaire, not quoted so much is:
"Common sense isn't very common."
And that's the part that worries me.
