There's an internet meme called "breading". What is it? Well, I'm very glad you asked. Because what it is is tearing a small hole in a piece of bread, putting it on your cat's head, taking a picture of it and posting it on line, as seen in the accompanying photograph:

Is it unquestionably pointless and irredeemably stupid? Yep.
Is it anything else? Nope.
But that doesn't stop people on Facebook from having really unnecessarily strong opinions about it...
"These cats don't look very happy a few look down right scared." - somebody named Teresa
"How sad." - somebody named Chris
"Really? Really? The cats don't think it's funny." - somebody named Janet
"Nice that some people have food to waste while others are starving" - somebody named Christine
Even though it's not my thing, I know there are a lot of people who get a big kick out of being righteously indignant. And if getting all worked up about cats with a piece of bread on their heads at the expense of all the starving people without bread to put on their heads keeps them from straying off and casting judgment on what's right and wrong about which people are sticking what objects into whichever other people's orifices, then by all means, have at it. I don't think the cats are in any serious discomfort but if couching it as anti-cruelty to animals helps, even better (Do I think the cats like it? No, probably not. I don't put bread on my cats heads. They do like chewing on electric wires and I don't let them do that. Come at me, Sarah McLachlan!). Of course, somebody always has to take it just a bit too far...
"This is why America is in trouble......stupid idiots have nothing better to do" - somebody named Linda
I'm not even going to comment on the obvious irony of someone taking time to sit down and comment on the internet about idiots (the stupid kind) with nothing better to do. But I am going to take issue with their basic premise; that being if people who put bread on cat's heads would simply apply themselves, we could eliminate poverty, health problems and the Westboro Baptist Church.
I'm sorry, but people who make proclomations about what's wrong with America are what's wrong with America.
