[Closed] Is it wrong to think this is hilarious?

You don't have your own sense of right and wrong?

I'm not a cat lover and I've had my share of LSD but that's awful.

I think thats a bit sick TBH. 😐

EDIT: as a cat owner, who has had his fair share of LSD!

and what the hell were you googling to find that???

Yep, kinda wrong, comparable to laughing at it given to children.

Where's the video of someone giving it to children???

I tried to be outraged but a little lol just snorted out

Animal testing LOLCopters...!

NOT.

hope i didn't look like that on LSD....

Yep its a bit sick imho....

Where is the ostrich donkey kid vid for comparison?

😉

Yeah, where is the ostrich donkey video?

😀

Poor putty tat!

(Video not half as funny as STW reaction)

The cat one is awful - the poor thing could have arrested.

*awaits jokes about it being in possession of a controlled substance etc.*

The kid / donkey / large flightless bird one is fab.

Now I've actually watched it, I've changed my mind. It is wrong that you find it funny. I don't have any moral objection to it, it's just not funny.

Not funny in the slightest. You are a sick **** Loddrik

Don't even wanna watch that. Poor f'in cat 🙁

If you laugh at others' misfortunes, how can you have any empathy in you?

That's cruel. The cat is blatantly having a really hard time of it.

I think it takes a special type of person to be that sort of animal tester.

[i]If you laugh at others' misfortunes, how can you have any empathy in you? [/i]

I laughed at the pony and kid being chased by the ostrich. Does that make me a bad person?

I don't think the industrial ambient core music helped...

Mmm. You are a cat owner and you find that funny.

I'm not sure what that says about you. I'm pretty sure it's not good.

I am sat on a bank of 6 desks. 4 of the people on the desks are in a conference call, me and the other who is not just watched the ostrich video and had to leave the office for a little while as we nearly died laughing.

Maybe the cat enjoyed it. How are we to know?

isn't catnip supposed to be rather hallucinogenic?

I am amazed by how some people can kick off over a cat that died 50 years ago being fed a drug that plenty of people do by choice.

The cat had the same reaction as me on LSD!

He thinks he's SUPERMAN!!! 😮

I am amazed by how some people can kick off

Nobody's kicking off I think. Just a few people saying they think it's not that funny. Why, do you think it's funny?

Torminalis go and look up "consent", "animal welfare" and how Jeffrey Dahmer started then get back to us 🙄

OK to clarify:

Cat - not funny

Ostrich donkey kid - funny

Now becoming a bit curious as to where things stop being funny and become not funny?

I think we need more videos to to get a more accurate idea of where everyone falls on this subject?

😉

i've been researching this subject for 6 minutes now and google image search seems to make it quite clear with regards to cats and drugs:

Poor taste.
If you tolerate this, then your children will be next.

Now becoming a bit curious as to where things stop being funny and become not funny?

Why?

It's pretty fluid - it's usually pretty obvious what is and what isn't.

Torminalis go and look up "consent", "animal welfare" and how Jeffrey Dahmer started then get back to us

I didn't find it funny, but I ain't getting my knickers in a twist over it. Do you think all the animals being shipped into Huntingdon life sciences sign consent forms? Again, not funny but not going to start getting all pious about it.

a drug that plenty of people do by choice.

Wtf? Cats are not people! As a rule they don't like anything weird or scary. It is not likely to know wtf is going on and hence be very scared indeed.

Hilarous!

I worry a bit sometimes about people with a complete lack of empathy.

Nice troll by good ol' lodders though.

thought it was unfunny

not sure if it was cruel as its hard for the cat to say and it may have enjoyed it

may not have done any long term harm

it's just something an 8 year old might laugh at

Cats are not people!

They bloody are. So are dogs.

It's pretty fluid - it's usually pretty obvious what is and what isn't.

True, it might be for you, quite clear cut, but for me, as these two video clips show, its not.

I think everyone has different boundries as to what they find funny.

Just curious, that's all.

i have to be honest, the cat thing made my heart sink and the ostrich thing made my heart sink a little bit more, that kid sounded as scared as the cat looked.

then again i don't enjoy YBF whenever it looks like someone was hurt.

Ring up the PC Brigade (whoever they are) and get them to draw up some guidelines.

The old lady battering the armed robbers with her handbag yesterday, that was funny.

surf_matt's nan you mean 😉

Not right the cat was given Acid, but the film looks like it was made in 1957 when animal rights and understanding the effects of LSD would have been very different.

To me it does like the cat is skydiving - so I couldn't help let a small smile out.

God there are some sanctimonious people on here...

I was wondering why they gave it to the cat in the first place, shirley a human could have given them far more descriptive results no?

God there are some sanctimonious people on here...

God job you're here to balance things eh lodders?

I'll die trying...

who are you referring to loddy?

your thread title suggests you were having some problems working out if it's morally wrong or not to enjoy watching a cat that looks pretty scared and upset during exposure to LSD.... if this is not the case and deep down you know how you really feel and how you think you should feel then why post the question other than to get a rise from the people you're now calling sanctimonious?

obvious troll is obvious 🙄

I trolleater. I eat troll.

I phillybuster. I eat philly.

I find it funny when I know I shouldn't. I thought that was pretty obvious, but peoples reactions kinda, well you know....

Plus the donkey vid was hilarious. In much the same way that people watch biking vids and laugh at people falling off, ergo their misfortune. Because things like that are funny.

Seems to be the way of things on here these days that people who post things that the moral majority don't necessarily subscribe to the they must be a troll/trolling etc.

If that's what people think of me, I can live with that, doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Been posting on here for years, yet the whole 'trolling' thing seems to have increased in the last few months. Get over it..

Thing is you posted it so you can't really get away with just saying "I wondered what you all thought"....you are bound to get a bit of a slating, take it like a man instead of whining like a girl.

God there are some sanctimonious people on here...

It's not sanctimony. The idea made me rather upset. I can be sanctimonous about how you should have more empathy if you like?

The donky thing was somewhat amusing, esp as it was an accident, but it did have some pathos too.

Thanks molgrips, are you speaking on behalf of the forum now..? That should save a little time...

Al, I am not given over to introspection and believe me, criticism is fine, like I take much notice anyhow. You should all know that by now.

Nowt wrong with a bit of clarification from time to time.

whilst i may not agree with your sense of humour (i'm a nurse, was being honest when i said anything where it looks like someone is getting hurt generally doesnt make me laugh) but goddamit i'd fight and die for your right to be a troll/not care about being considered a troll
😆

I'd say the cat vid was funniest out of the three animal vids.

So...Interested to know why those that think it's wrong, think it's wrong? Is it because it's a cat? or because it's an animal? or what. What are the boundaries on this?

Yeah, hilarious. 🙄

Cat will probably be unable to function after having it's brains fried
and get destroyed. Like a lot of old hippies I used to know...

What are the boundaries on this?

Haven't you got any of your own?

Years ago, at the house of a reasonably well known (nowadays) xc racer we gave a cat a small amount of LSD, and then put a red spot on its forehead with an Edding permanent marker.

I am ashamed to admit that I did laugh at the time.

Do we know for certain that the cat didn't volunteer? I'd say that's a vital piece of information. I possibly watch too much 'Road Cops' though.

What are the boundaries on this?
Haven't you got any of your own?

You shouldn't answer a question with a question.
I meant, what are your* boundaries on this.

To answer your question, yes, I have some of my own.

*the people who think it is wrong.

To answer your question, yes, I have some of my own.

As you were then. Do you think it's funny?

Hang on, you answer my questions first!

that cat wasn't trippin dudes it's just a really slippy floor!. i think someone's tugging your todgers 😀

😆

Fair enough. My answer is that I don't think there are definite boundaries, and also that they move all the time according to the moral zeitgeist. I'm not sure we'd all give a damn in 1957 - the moral zeitgeist was different back then. Yes, some more enlightened folks probably would have cared - but whose to know what either you or I would have thought in 1957?

I think you'd have to be pretty heartless to find it funny now - because most people think it's probably a little unfair to subject a helpless animal to hallucinogenic drugs. Yes, it was fine to do it back then. But that was then. Just because it was done by people who didn't know better doesn't make it ok to laugh at it now.

I'd also be concerned with the level of empathy that a person who finds this funny has.

[img] [/img]

In that case,

As you were then. Do you think it's funny?

You see the point. I'm wondering if people's discomfort with it is because it's a cat. If so, is it because the cat is usually domestic, friendly etc. or is it because of the size of it.

Vile.

The cat isn't funny because it's cruel. Seriously, how can anyone not know that?

yeah, but would it be cruel if it was a rat?

Ha Ha Ha

Pretty horrible to watch

I found it funny when the animal rights lot dug up that granny, some on here got wound up by that so it takes all sorts I suppose. 😆

This is possibly one of the funniest LSD related videos I have ever seen.

No animals, just good old 1950's soldiers and a posh man making some hilarious deadpan comments whilst commentating

"With one man climbing a tree to feed the birds...." My favourite line!

This isn't funny either but I find it quite interesting, do you think that makes me a bad person?

I mean, think of the spiders...
