Grumpy Cat Is Worth $100M

The problem is people. How is this shit even funny or amusing for longer than 10 seconds?
 
New report on msn.com saying that the owner has come out and said that those are numbers are completely inaccurate but said nothing about how much was accurate.

To be fair, they're probably ok with calling it Tard, but because the cat is in the spot light they'd get a shit-ton of flack for using the term "Tard".

Well, let's not forget that Ducman69 also calls a lot of people/things retarded. I'm not sure how someone with 69 in their name that accuses things of being retarded constantly is in any position to question anything anyone names their cat, but hey, some people have like a terminal case of "don't-get-it-itis" and there's no hope for them.

I brush my cats daily, brush teeth daily (chicken flavored, yum), and occasionally clean their nose, eyeducts, and ears with a q-tip.

Good on you for taking good care of your pets, but also think there is a big gap between what you're doing and what is purely necessary to take care of a cat.

Completely and utterly wrong. Congratulations. Tardar Sauce's owner's brother posted two pics of the cat to reddit /pics and then it blew up from there.

Reddit retards don't have a creative bone in their body and ripoff 4chan all the time. Show me a timestamp that shows it went big on reddit before 4chan... can't.

Although I did some research of my own, and there's no evidence who found it first, other than it was on both. But the point is moot (no pun intended), since SHE didn't do anything at all to create the meme or promote grumpy cat to internet fandom. She was leaving the cat at home alone just busing tables.

I never call anyone I like or hasn't earned the title (coughliberalscough) a retard, especially if its based on a deformity. And to quote George, you don't see a cat strapping some guy to a chair and hooking up his nuts to a car battery, do ya? Why? Because cats are descent people.

So you're allowed to use an insulting word when you decide it's okay to do so based on your criteria but someone else can't do the same.

I'm not sure who George is or why you're quoting him so whatever about that part.

So you'd name your child "retard" or "douchebag" or "assface"? I can see it now.

*kids playing on playground*
Creepy: "Hey retard! RETARD! Time to go, douchebag, don't make me slap you off your wheelchair."
Random parent: *gasp* "How can you call your disfigured child that?"
Creepy: "Its a term of endearment, I named him that.
Random parent: "Oh ok, that's cool. I have decided that the criteria for its use is subjective and that you can form your own without judgement from me, because I'm an enlightened liberal."
Creepy: "High-fives broette!"
Random Parent: "High-fives sister!"
Creepy: "BTW, did you hear that Jimmy got suspended from school for calling another student a 'fag'"?
Random Parent: "That's horrible, he should kill himself. Honestly. Words are powerful."

First of all, I don't make children. :p Second of all, I know, you claim you call your kid "muscles" or "broski" or whatever and no one cares that you wanna guide a discussion in that direction since that's the exact same thing you did in the last thread where you showed you're jealous over the success of someone else. Third of all, you're dodging the fact that you have a history of calling something or someone retarded and then get upset if someone else does the same thing. Using the "think of the children" derailment doesn't buy you out of doing something and then disapproving someone else doing the same thing....but oh wait, you're worse because you call people retarded instead of a cat that doesn't care about the sounds a human makes.
 
I never imagined Ducman69 to be a cat person, much less one that brushes their teeth. Learn something new everyday I guess.

Really though, it's okay to have envy and express it, but I think maybe going on a rant isn't gonna do much more than make people think you might have like an anger management problem.

Why is so hard for some people to just be happy, or at least not grumpy, about the good fortunes of others? I'd love to be owner of a cat that just made in two years many times more than I will probably see in a lifetime. I think it's stilly and petty to criticize someone for having good luck. The green eyed monster of envy will be with us always like the rest of the seven deadly sins I guess.
 
Making movie out of a meme. What will they think of next.

I believe that calling someone a retard is an insult to the recipient. I insult people I think deserve to be insulted. I don't think that insulting your fur-kid because of a deformity is praise-worthy. Not sure why that confuses you.

And I would be very happy if like that guy that spends all his time raising and caring for and bonding with his horse since it was a foal, and they practice together everyday for a routine performance, and then say if they became successful in a show thanks to their talent and dedication they become rich and he spends a good portion of that money to buy a big field and barn for the horse and what not... awesome! :D

But some dumb waitress that calls her cat a retard, then the internet makes her cat famous with their creativity, she shows no acknowledgement or appreciation for the community's efforts in interviews and cashes in, doesn't seem to spend anything on the "retard" cat that seems poorly cared for which she backpedals and calls "Tarder Sauce", and parades the cat around like a prop to get filthy rich. There's no talent, no hard work, nothing special to applaud. Just a stupid broad cashing in. No golf-clap, just a sigh and sign of another thing that's wrong with the world.

So we're pretty much back to you being jealous of someone with a job you look down on and a gender you disapprove of having good fortune which upsets you to the point of seeking out some way of justifying disapproval in a way that will work inside your own head instead of just admitting that you're envious. You know, it's okay to be like, "OMG, I soo wish that was me that got lucky!" without going down a really long, roundabout road of tangled emotions.
 
Congrats to them. Anyone who makes this much money off of something so silly deserves to enjoy it.
 
Ducman69 said:
Well, what they really mean is that 4Chan created a funny meme for everyone to enjoy for free, and the half-witted owner decided to exploit that internet fame and get rich by parading the cat in front of any camera that would pay her... a cat she originally named "Tard" short for "Retard" because of his birth defect, but then tried to backplay that and say it was really "Tart" for tarter sauce.... yeah, sure.

Poor cat probably just wants to relax and be left in peace like all kitties, but if it were my cat I'd at least have given 50% of anything the cat earned and distribute it between organizations like CAPS and the like to find homes for pets and get strays neutered and released or rehomed when appropriate.

Instead, the talentless hack owner is set for life... ugh.

wow
 
no reason for envy.

I'd exploit the shit out of some animal if I could. I can't have enough money.

I don't think the cat understands or cares either way. Quit being so self-righteous.
