UPDATE: Based on the comments for this video I decided to change the post (both kittens died from their condition). If you want to look at the video that was originally posted, you can go here.

they’re cats, they died anyway because of their health problems, NOT because of a video. Get over it. There are billions of cats on the planet, they’re not an endangered species in any way
Simply removing the video is not enough. The entire post and thread should be eliminated. But, since this is free speech, I’ll simply exercise mine and decline to contribute to the blog in the future.

HEY PETA BRAINS: When you realize that no kitties were harmed in this photoshoped video, what is it you are actually worked up about?
Its not cruelty to animals.
Do you think the overwhelming reaction to this video is to create cat killing laser beams or to learn how to photoshop video’s.
Just how misplaced can your ((so called empathy but it really is something else—what is that something else????)) be?
Yes, what quality of mind remains upset when all the facts are known?
What?
What kind of sick fucks are we dealing with here? Surely they must have had a bucket and a river to deal with these hairy wee menaces.
It is indecent.
How about a video of CGI food hovering above starving third world children, that would be hilarious!
When someone’s stupid actions lead to problems it is funny. Actual suffering by innocent parties is not funny.
Maybe this is really non-lethal microwave weapon testing…
Tom, chris, etc., etc., where does it say that this video is funny? If anything, it’s educational. Anyone with kittens having the same symptoms now have more information. If you actually read the article, you’d find that the owners were decent and caring people.
As for the first video, there are far worse things in this world than being clever with special effects. Nothing was harmed except your frail sensitivity. So why did you watch it in the first place?
Only sad thing about this video:

Unlike Eideard, Gasparrini can sense the error of the post and change direction.
Very good!
not funny. remove this blog entry.
John’s blog is about washed up anyhow. He rants about things that never come true, then moves on to something else so you don’t remember his mistakes.
#27 Come off it. They were using actual suffering as the basis for humor. That’s dirty.
I considered my response, because “take it easy” really is the best policy most of the time. On this site recently I argued against someone who objected to a stunt video because it was evocative to them of people jumping from the twin towers. I can’t imagine having the direct experience to make that connection, horrible. That some would find that connection still doesn’t taint the act itself. The stunt was technically impressive, even if the movie it was destined for is probably going to suck.
This video isn’t a representation. The illness that takes you, or your worst enemy, is not going to be funny. How would you feel about a “well-intentioned” youtube short of scenes from your imminent demise?
Speech can be protected, but totally scummy. This is an example.
Good on you Gasparrini.
For those that are complaining that this video should have stayed on, I’m sure Gasparrini removed it, not because of people complaining about it being cruel, which it clearly wasn’t (although some idiots out there would get the idea in their heads that they should go out and “laser” animals), but because he was just respecting the owner of the video’s wishes.
Gasparrini should be commended.
It was still funny shit though. Besides guys, you never know. Perhaps it’ll come back if the owner gives their consent. They might be over their period of morning by now.
#20 Not true. I don’t “own” cats or dogs but I do find it disturbing. Knowing that people do find it funny is disturbing also. I think this action has crossed the line for most normal type people. I don’t think removing it is a good thing. Sometimes we need to see what the other side is doing.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I would be extremely amused by someone photoshopping lasers into a video of me. If I were dying, I’d be happy for the distraction.
There are 2 things in this world that people love….lasers and cats!
Conservatives still don’t know funny.
wow your blog sucks so hard simply by your readers responses. And why would a site that has uncensored proudly presented at the top of the page censor itself? That is pretty terrible, i want you to know that i think you are a bad person and I don’t think much of you. Go ahead and ban me and delete this, but it wont matter. Because i will never knowingly visit this site again, as i have for the first time today looking for this video. Good day sir, I hope you find the balls to stand by your actions of posting the video that you thought was funny. And if you feel bad that the kittens died, well so have many entertainers and it hasn’t made them any less funny.
This is a polite request to remove this entry.
Sad that the cats died, but a funny video. Lighten up, people. Laughing at death is as old as I am (which is old).
