  Wow. Just wow.
  
  Remember like 20 years ago where there was this big push to reject gender/role stereotypes and just celebrate the individual? Put me down for a world where everyone is their own unique individual and where they pee is determined by the plumbing they have.

  One of my coworkers actually edits for Wiki, and he said "you just wouldn't believe some of the arguments that were had over what to finally have up".
  What started out as a joke, was taken too far by both sides. I can't believe that anybody would take the joke so seriously as to be offended, but people were.

  People need to lighten up. It is a cartoon cat...

  I read down to the area with these two lines:
  
  "satirist Virgil Texas"
  
  "A brief note about Virgil Texas: He’s been known to troll before."
  
  At this point, any potential point anyone wants to make concerning this article should be summed up as: Troll trolls, people get butthurt, things get (depending on POV) funny or stupid.
