The internet can move at a phenomenal pace sometimes. Why, no sooner has hecklerspray twittered ‘I’m outside your window with a pair of binoculars and a dagger’ to an ex-girlfriend than the police are called and we all have a good old chuckle about the misunderstanding. In court.
Anyway – further proof of this ultra-speedy Web 2.0 culture is the previously-webthumped Keyboard Cat. No sooner has someone uploaded a video of their cat being ‘manipulated’ to look like it is playing a zippy keyboard tune (which, as YouTube content goes, is already roughly sixteen-billion times better than the standard ‘why Muse matter more to me than anyone in the world’ nonsense) … than it takes on a whole new life.
‘Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat’ might just be the most meta concept in the history of the web. Already-famous internet videos are given the keyboard cat treatment to create something genuinely bizarre. Occasionally the results are lame. Occasionally – as with the Chinatown clip – they’re the funniest thing you’ll see all day.
And guess what? Some kind bastard has only set up a site compiling these vids! Take a look, why don’t you?

Ho ho, it plays the keyboard like a human, but it’s actually a CAT! Welcome to the internet, enjoy your intellectual suicide.
