Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr.

While on the Warner Bros. lot this week, a friend of YuppiePunk World HQ sent us the above image after trying to view the site in between meetings. Alongside an image of Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr., aka Sylvester the Cat, aka gringo pussy-gato, is written: THE PAGE YOU HAVE REQUESTED HAS BEEN BLOCKED BECAUSE IT MAY CONTAIN CONTENT INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE WORKPLACE. Apparently we’re the Tweety Bird of the Internets. And though we’d like to think we make merrie melodies, apparently they’re too edgy for some places of employ. We are flattered to have been called out by a three-time Academy Award winner, however.

In completely unrelated news: We found a “Lord of the Rings” Figwit card. Figwit stands for Frodo Is Great… Who Is That? Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Conchords actually, though he wasn’t famous then. He appeared in a single scene, uncredited, and without dialogue in “The Fellowship of the Ring,” and after a fan of the film became enamored of him and created a website, the legend of Figwit was born. Figwit eventually appeared again in “TheReturn of the King,” and was even given dialogue by Peter Jackson as a tribute to the trilogy’s fans.
