Dark Days Indeed

We see a van

Inside the van we see a man closing a box

From inside the box we hear kittens

The man leaves the van and follows a street sign to the canal

The man stops the edge of the canal and empties the box of kittens

We hear lots of splashing then we see the canal

There are six cute kittens in swimming goggles and bathing suits.

They have all drowned

The man uses his mobile

MAN
"You can scratch the f**king swimming cats idea, we'll have to bring the heroin in by boat!"

This seems a bit too cruel, Teddy. At first I thought there was going to be some genteel reveal, but it was just tragic.

I am having a dark day, it happens, tomorrow I will be posting in Flemish/Waloon.

Was this really worth posting? Or are you just trying to get a rise out of zooo?

No it's actually a sketch that I think is funny.

If you don't think it's funny that's fine you can say so and say why. And I have no doubt you'll be in the majority to boot.

But please don't post petty presumptions as I had no idea Zoo liked cats but I know a lot of people do and a lot of other people despise heroin smugglers so I juxtaposed the two for shock value in a sketch designed to shock.

If however there is a list of taboo subject matter for sketches on this site and cats figure on it, then the site should be sold to the Readers Digest without delay.

FYI I posted a semi pedophile sketch with this yet you showed no fear of other posters being offended, how odd?

Aarron watches me like a hawk so I do my level best not to offend, so I don't need you policing my content for perceived innuendo or content, to be honest I'm not that petty and you're not in charge of the f**king internet either.

I don't think it worked - partly because the swimming costumes/goggles seemed just too complicated a scenario.

I do actually think it would be funnier though if all the kittens just all swam off in different directions before the last line.

It was more that I couldn't work out why you thought it was funny. It is an idea that does not seem to work on any level.

And the comment about zooo was intended lightheartedly.

It is possible that we are not on the same wave length.

Playfull I was in all honesty going to have the kittens swim while a crowd on the other side applauded and the reveal would have been the van having the sign 'Peters Paddling Pussies' but I changed my mind as I wrote it/

Tuirsops that's your taste and your view and you have the right to express both no problem with me at all.

For my part I genuinely like it, I could never see it being universally accepted but for me it worked as a shock joke, I've only ever written two this one and the grooming one and they both got a response so I can't complain,

As for the rest I still have no idea why Zoo cropped up? Believe it or not I am not that up to speed on posters likes and dislikes. I know Dr Who is loved the same as cats are but that's about it.
