How could you have known the Bonsai Kitten site was a satire despite its lack of “This is a joke!” banners emblazoned across it? Satire doesn’t always announce itself as such (some feel that would ruin its humor), so in cases like this, one dusts off the common sense and aims it at the problem:
The process described is impossible – animals so treated would die long before they could be “molded.”
The web site offers no way to purchase the materials advertised – a real commercial enterprise wouldn’t build consumer interest through a flashy web site then fail to offer anything for sale.
“Bonsai Kitten” displays no actual pictures of the finished product – there are no molded kittens on display.
People seriously got angered by this site? It’s that quick anger and lack of research that keep my email box filled with junk mail and chain letter.
