You know your cat is plotting against you when it frames you for downloading child porn. No, really. Forty-eight year old Florida man Keith R. Griffin was charged with ten counts of possession of child pornography Wednesday, after detectives found more than a thousand child porn images on his computer.
According to Griffin, it was all his cat’s doing. He told police that he’d leave his computer on, and the cat would jump on it. The incriminating images would then just appear. Authorities don’t buy Griffin’s story of a malicious feline, and he’s now in Martin County Jail on $250,000 bail.
The cat itself gets away scot-free, no doubt admiring its sinister handiwork as it chills with Griffin’s relatives. This is why I’m a dog person.

More plausible than the monkeys writing shakespeare, but not entirely. Sometimes questionable content comes up even on innocent searches, but that there’s so many thousands of images, surely he would have noticed and removed them had it been accidental.
