Is credit card theft so easy a cat—and a slacker cat at that—could do it? That’s what the Walt Disney Company, whose stock plummeted 1 percent this morning to $33.95, is hoping. The company, best known for being the sick sadists who humanized mice and for its kid friendly G-rated films featuring highly aroused priests, is debuting its new animated series, “Slacker Cats,” on August 13, and running up thousands of dollars in charges at a the Pussycat Lounge on your AMEX is just one of the many ways Walt plans to stick its sword in the world of “outrage and grown-ups.”
Others include storylines featuring the cats at left taking bong hits, enjoying “kitty” porn, and manipulating the natural gas markets. Never to be outdone, Fox (+0.07 (0.33%)) announced plans to up the ante with its own new animal-centric show, “Fucking Pandas.” Episode 1: “Reverse Langone.”

“and manipulating the natural gas markets. ”
Makes sense. Cats like fish.
Don’t forget that Disney’s Touchstone made a movie about a hooker long ago (Hello Julia Roberts!) that, no pun intended, had a happy ending.
Walt told me the other day he was really really upset about it until he saw the grosses.
everyone trying to get in on [adult swim]‘s audience these days.
The character in the Little Mermaid is a minister, not a priest.
I find this kind of adult themed animated programming refreshing…especially, for their network.
Plus, the cast of voices and production (Film Roman) has me sold. I’m gonna check it out…
Whoever wrote this must have been the one taking the bong hits because, aside from stealing a credit card, none of these things actually happen on the show. Of course Buckley and Eddie do convince Dooper to climb inside the dead body of a road kill cat so they can return him to it’s owner and collect the reward money to buy suntan lotion.
