While to some this video may look like an attack on soap opera music, and the hackiness they exude, I see it as a cry for help. This cat's life work is being broadcast to millions of stay-at-home moms across the country, providing them with the vicarious life they so desperately want, while they struggle to provide for their households with a modest income of tasty cat treats.
Finally, these cats have a voice, one that can be used to say so much more than just "meow". For once they can stand up for the work they do. Stand proud of the arhythmic scores they've created for Days of Our Lives, Guiding Light, and the ever-relevant Passions. The only thing now is for the tyrants known as soap opera producers to act, and act soon, as D. Brent Nelson and Martin Davich (among others) fight to keep their head above water in this economy.
This video might well be our generation's The Jungle, with tvboy88 as the Upton Sinclair of cat soap opera composers.
