Seems there is a lot of backlash on the internet when it was revealed that the owner made $100m from her cat. She's denying the report.

The owner isn't disclosing how much she made, but with a movie and commercials in the works I bet she has made a lot of money. 😱

And the problem with that is?

Good for her.

I don't see a problem with it.

I just think there are a lot of jealous people.

Good for her. If people are dumb enough to pay for it, then more power to her. May as well milk it for all it's worth while you can.

How dare someone make money! Much less by spreading amusement and laughter.

the beauty of it is grumpy cat don't give a fck

 

[andylawcc]

good for her.

now I am curious, how can she trademark her cat's "NOPE" look ? I mean, there gotta other cats that can pull off the same look right?

Pretty much. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

People who get worked about stuff like that are pathetic

 

[Jimzz]

Maybe it has generated 100million in sales and such but I doubt she will get even 10% of that once everything is settled.

Either way she has a cat she likes and makes a pile of money as well. Seems like a great win win case to me.

I'd pay to watch a thousand grumpy cats, before a Paris Hilton or Kardashian.

Yeah I don't think people realize how much money they're giving to people for stuff because they're not doing it entirely directly.

 

[Mai72]

Can she trademark the look? Good question.

I wouldn't think so, but that again what do I know.

 

[Hugo Drax]

Why would people get upset over this. Tough shit if you don't have the right cat for the right job.

 

[Rakehellion]

Who cares?

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

I'm sure there are others, but I was reading about the grumpy cat the other day and her frowny face is apparently caused by some type of dwarfism condition so it could be a pretty unique feature.

Backlash...against what? Someone making money without negatively affecting anyone else? What is there to be angry about here?

 

[who?]

They're making money off of the little kittys disability. I hope they didn't hurt it's feelings.

See post #6.

Brace yourselves: more memes are coming.

 

[JEDIYoda]

why is this even worthy of a thread?

Now if the grumpy cat was assaulted by a renegade grumpy cat -- that is news!!

 

[Imp]

She makes the money because people buy her shit... What's the problem?

I'd love that cat and would be happy with a tenth of what she made.

P.S. Who watched the Lifetime movie? It was on like 2 weeks ago... It was on here this past Sunday.

The value of a movie deal for someone like grumpy cat is 5mil, tops.

The source article doesn't even have a breakdown of this supposed 100m fortune

 

[Red Squirrel]

When I first saw grumpy cat I thought it was just a random picture from the internet that turned into a meme, and not that there was someone behind it. Either way I don't really care. I say good for her.
