Snopes is a great resource

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!!! The heat is getting to us, isn't it? The heat wave is altering our judgement and obliterating the last shreds of common sense.

At this hour (21:54) there's a link from Newzjunky to the infamous Bonsai Kitten website. The blurb beneath the link reads: A newz junkie writes: "I'd like to bring to your attention a company that is operating out of New York City that call committing cruel acts to kittens by shoving them in jars art and entertainment. Worst of all our U.S. government gave them a permit to do such cruel things."
I do hope that the smart person behind Newz Junky is just playin' with us tonight.
This is a rather old urban legend. This myth has been debunked.
So has the viper /heroin needle in the ball pit of McDonald's/Burger King rumor. I've received countless variations of that email, too.
Seriously, Snopes is your friend!
