I watched the first couple of minutes of the video though, and was struck by the contrast of the opening frame of a big kitty on the screen, and the subsequent discussion centering around people's need for the internet.

Please don't get me wrong here. I'm as big an animal lover as they come, and as big a champion of net neutrality as you'll find, but really--a big-ass cat??

There's a meme that has been going around for a long time that the internet is all about cats.

The incongruity of the image and the content of the discussion just struck me as odd, that's all.

Dog guy, myself, but I'll defend to the death anyone's preference for beings of the domesticated feline persuasion (having had more than one such critter foisted on me in my lifetime).
