One Man's Campaign to Blind and Shoot Cats

"Don't, for even one moment, fall for the song and dance about cat-lovers being animal-lovers, they are anything but that. They don't give one damn about any other animals nor even other humans. Cat-lovers are just like cats, the only thing they care about are themselves. Nobody else and nothing else matters to them."

Will-I-Am's been quiet lately, hasn't he? Since making that song from that movie that nobody went to see at the start of the summer, he's been oddly removed from the public eye. You think, maybe he's working on a new Black Eyed Peas album or something? Or a 3D concert film with James Cameron? Well, it turns out he's been in Europe. You know what else is in Europe? Amsterdam. What else is happening in Amsterdam? Oh, right, the 150-year-old chestnut tree that was a rare source of comfort and joy for Anne Frank for the two years she spent hiding in an attic [...]
