Dead Cat Lives On to Mock Human Foibles
A new Internet phenomenon has drawn the interest of millions -- including Stephen Colbert. One of the most popular current online crazes is something called "Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat," a user-generated video meme. The formula is a simple. A clip is played of a pratfall or some unfortunate, self-inflicted accident. This is immediately followed by an old clip of a cat playing an upbeat tune on a keyboard. The keyboard cat is, in a way, the smiling face of fate, perpetually making light of silly human failures. It's not stupid pet tricks, it's stupid people tricks.
