• JUST TO BE CLEAR since there are so many f#% idiots out there...I'm making fun of the idiots that found it necessary to make this Onion-level story a "thing". Opinions expressed here are my own. Want to hear it firsthand? Listen to the podcast. The writeup/summary is created by me. "Me" being Bart. "You" being the reader. Unless you actually believed the rumored litterboxes are in schools. Then you're a f#% idiot. Images are snapshots available from web search; the news story has the author listed in the image, the kitty image was in the Googles for a school mascot. Captions are satirical in nature, written by me. Having to spell this out makes me even more sad. Check next week for my next Modest Proposal.
