‘How ’bout a magic trick?’ The sad part about Joker Cat is that he later died from a pill overdose :( [iwtbab]

Yep, someone made Star Wars sushi. The geeky sushi creations of Oki also include Spider-Man and pokemon, but my favorite is probably the tauntaun made from (I think) ginger. “This may taste weird, kid, but it’ll cleanse your palate.” [Gamma Squad]

Deal With It GIFs: Pop Culture Edition. Maske is absolutely right about this meme: it’s a fantastic way to win an argument on the Internet. [Uproxx]

The Professional Wrestling Divas Guide to Fantasy Tight Ends. Burnsy’s savvy discussion of fantasy football coupled with pictures of women with breast implants. Perhaps the internet’s finest moment. [With Leather]

This Week in Movie Posters. Like Vince, I’m very disappointed that the Battleship poster failed to capitalize on Brooklyn Decker’s ample cleavage. [FilmDrunk]

CANNOT BE UNSEEN. Bill Murray’s face on Betty White pictures. Betty White’s face on Bill Murray pictures. These Photoshops have the potential to ruin your day. [Uproxx]

I don’t care that this has nothing to do with TV, it’s burning up the Internet (830K YouTube views in two days) and it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. If you like swearing and cats and stupid songs, you’re gonna love this video.

Nat Geo WILD will air a special called “The Lady With 700 Cats” on July 30th — a Saturday night, because that’s prime TV-watching time for single people who own cats. The program is narrated by Jane Lynch and focuses on Lynea Lattanzio, who runs California’s largest cat sanctuary. From press materials:

Her own cat was all she wanted as a little girl. Her mother said, “No.” Now she has more than 700.

“I bet she’s sorry now!” says Lynea Lattanzio, referring to her mother’s forbiddance of felines in the house.  Founder and owner of California’s largest no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary, Lattanzio lives with more than 700 cats.

I’ve got two preview videos below, and the images are staggering. SO. MANY. CATS. Boxes of kittens, old pissed-off cats, a constant soundtrack of mewling — as someone who’s allergic to cats, I have trouble breathing just watching it. However, as someone who works on the Internet, I can tell that this is gold, Jerry, GOLD! *puts on LMFAO with Lil Jon* CATS! CATS! CATS CATS CATS! CATS! CATS! CATS CATS CATS! CATS!

As I’ve said before, the Nyan Cat meme doesn’t particularly appeal to me, but this video of the “Star Trek” crew encountering the 8-bit poptart space cat made me chuckle. There’s just something about William Shatner’s dramatic reaction and Leonard Nimoy’s subtle eyebrow raise that gives the silly little animation some gravity. At the same time, it makes “Star Trek” more enjoyable for me than ever before. I guess the show just needed more cats.

That’s why I’d make a great studio executive. My notes for every TV show would be a sheet of loose leaf paper with a single handwritten demand: “MORE CATS.”

For as much time as I spend on the internet, I’ve never been particularly captivated by Nyan Cat (aka Pop Tart Cat), the 8-bit animation of a cat with a pop tart body that craps rainbows as it floats through space. Nevertheless, this IS still the internet, and the internet still loves cats, so here’s a live-action Nyan Cat that appeared on French TV, woefully devoid of pop tart body. Those French can’t get anything right besides cheese and first ladies.

On the following pages, I’ve got a crash course in Nyan Cat meme history, including the original YouTube video, Mexican Nyan Cat, and the day that changed America: Nyan-Eleven. People aren’t gonna like that one.
