There was shock around the world this morning when John OBrennan, Director of the CIA, admitted that his organisation made cats up to keep people distracted and compliant.
Aw shucks, ygot us, he confessed. When the internet started we at the CIA quickly realised that it could become a global tool for unrestricted communication, uncensored ideas and free trade so naturally we put together a plan of action to combat that and so the cat was born.
Cat pictures, gifs, memes and videos are believed to account for around 98% of the internet while scientific studies have proved that only very brief exposure to a picture of a kitten in a teacup is enough to make even the most ardent anti-capitalist protester shut up and mindlessly buy something they dont want or need with just one click.
